INSPIRATION

[AMVarchy]

I recently made a short Toradora AMV

I didn't really edit it much. I lost inspiration half way through, which is why I wanted to ask what you guys do for inspiration?

My inspiration would usually come from peer pressure. It is a bad habit but it works. Try hinting to people that you are going to make a great AMV and then you will have to make a great AMV in time to satisfy their curiosity. It is like MEPs where you are expected to make a good, really short AMV and meet the deadline to which you pour your effort into so your name can be recognised.

There's a very similar topic created some days ago. But in your specific case, I would wait until inspiration comes back. I have done that in my last try, in halfway or a little less for an AMV I was doing with pretty fly for a white guy's offspring that was around 4mins long and then I think I deleted it because I didn't feel the same urge to edit it. It took some time but meh, I didn't find anymore what I was looking forward to.

While I suggest waiting for inspiration, I guess than in most cases it won't come back (with specific project), without different scopes. If you really want to finish it, force it and see the results.
