Wow Ashton! You surely have matured over the last few months. I applaud that. BTW that in no way was an attack...'twas a compliment.

Errr... yeah, whatever. For some reason nobody really ever understood what I was saying then. *sigh*

I really have a lack of motivation lately. I'll start a project and just let it fizzle. I can't seem to get back on track.

Best motivation:

Knowing that what you output will suck in the end, and having an excuse to be depressed.

yeah!

Tons of cans of Wild Cherry Pepsi and having the idea stay fresh in my mind, if the idea gets old I have nothing to go on.

I won't go that far since I know a lot of people don't wanna get into this, but when you post about wanting to win and that being your reason well...one can assume that your motivations are a certain way...guess we were wrong.

Play the music I want to use, and just let my mind drift. This only seems to work while I'm driving though. Hm.....

Boredom, a way to get things off my mind. those two rank up there as high, but the highest is becaues I just enjoy doing it. Outside of teh endlesslyboring act of capturing, I actually enjoy making the video itself and it's nice to finish and open the file and look at it and know that you spent hours of work to make that (ok, that's not always good if you think you made crap). Also, I get ideas all over the place for AMVs, so sometimes an idea can just nag me so much that I want to make the video more than anything else so I get cracking on it.
