Hi Community,

I can only say from my own point of view and experiences at present with creating videos using

Iclone and Crazytalk I have regurgitated some of my old videos to let you know I'm still here.

My apologises, I am still trying to find my way to be back within the Iclone and Crazytalk and Reallusion Forum.

xox

Peace

Gerskey

The Best video I ever made in Iclone was one of my first, In fact I wish I could recreate it and show people but for some reason I can not.

Hi community,
Hi Blue,

I feel that I have lost all my creativities and ability in making and creating Iclone and Crazytalk videos and to see so many creating, I feel I've lost it, lost it in that feeling of creating.

I'm no good now at it. Everything I learnt was from here and youtube.

I'm so disappointed with my self for not pushing myself.

Peace

Gerskey

gerskey, take your time. Start with something simple. And you know, if you get stuck, we're here...

What has helped me a lot is to learn how to do screenwriting. For longer projects I write the story down first.

I'm starting with a project now (a Pinhead story in fact) that I couldn't finish in time two years ago. It was also a bit too ambitious. Because I wrote it down, I could get back to it and look at it with fresh eyes.

A screenplay is like a roadmap, it avoids getting lost.

real simple solution!

copy someone elses stuff, like a famous movie clip, keep copying till you have your own original ideas again, everything is a remix anyway, so this stuff about being original is an illusion.....same bread, different cheese, whoop de doo! -twirls finger-....just keep creating and having fun. if you ain't having fun, then go play cricket or something till you miss animating!

treat your critic like a 3rd party and don't let him stress you out, you and he knows that if you ain't having fun, it's going to show in your work, so he just better chill and back off till you get your groove back!

you love animating, truth, there are movies that inspire you, truth. have a nice day!

here, copy this - this should give you a good kick starter! ^.^

I get in those ruts also. Usually because I am trying to make something that I think others will like instead of making what I like. Take a little break. Come back to it when you start missing it and you'll be inspired again.

@Gerskey,

Don't give up on yourself.

Picking up on what has already been said:

• Make anything, at least you'll work on your technical skills.  It's better than sitting there waiting for inspiration to happen.
• Make something for yourself.  Unless you're trying to do this to make money just do anything that pleases you.  Maybe some "technical experiments."  Can you make an avatar throw something?  Catch something?  Cry or laugh?  Fall down stairs.  Something in that process might inspire you.
• Write something.  Even if it is in the "wrong" format, put something in writing.  Then try to put it in iClone.

It's always nice to have you here.

We all have lapses in creativity, some days I feel iv Learnt nothing in the last 6 years of modelling and it gets me down, then the next day or week or even month it comes back together.

You do not have to be creative all the time, take a break from even trying and come back to it when your mood lifts, if your down because it's not comming to gether right now it will effect you creativity.

Man never give up. There's always something. You can help others with their projects, or maybe get an old project of theirs (I've got screenplays coming out the yin-yang).
