I just recently have been working on an animation which i lost inspiration in. My solution was adding a smalll number of frames, probabley about as equivilant to 3 frames. I'd like to add to the large essay, If you want to get an animation done but dont have inspiration momentum, just make a promiss to yourself to every day work out 1 small fraction. wether its drawing a gun, finish coloring your character, or adding those 3 frames to your animation, you can spark momentum, and at the same time slowly make progress in the animation.

But what it comes down to is if you dont have the inspiration for an animation and no matter what you do you cant get workin on it, just chiiillllll. Theres noooo rushhhh, just work on something else or stop completley.

Also, what happens alot is people corner themself in an animation scene thats difficult to do. Dont be afraid to completley scrap a large segment of your animation and redo it. I've had times when terrible things happen to my computer and i lose alot of saves in my fla. But when i re-did the animation, it was apsolutley AMAZING, very pleasing. Because i knew my limits, and i could balance an area between pushing myself to the limit of the best animation i can dish out, and at the same time not overwhelming myself, corning me into a scene that i have to do thats beyond my power.
