Of course there's no intention to be sexist but, if I've somehow been as such, I apologise.

I wear a headset for a living. If thats not fecking motivation nothing is.

Wow its popping off up in here lol Hi Simangele, I'm in the same boat, I'm a bus driver and I've got children so it's hard trying to find the time to write or create, so a few things I do is commit to getting less sleep, 6 hours or less instead of the hateful 8, also physically exercise is proven to improve mental performance, also i bulk cook to free up more time, meaning I'll cook my meals for the entire week, it gets a bit boring eating the same meal all week but I'm a good cook so it's not all bad. I like the idea of writing at least a page per day before work so I might incorporate that into my routine.

I hope this helps you and I hope we can both turn our dream jobs into our day jobs.

Beth thanks for the tip about making the time, make it routine.

Tabitha, I wonder what you do with your job?

Michael thanks for recommending the book. I'll check it out

Nick I follow you on twitter aswell and I love your ideas and humour

Kari I'm going to make this one of my affirmations to turn my dream job into a day job

Personally i find this whole notion of "motivation" a bit absurd....as if there's some magical dust that'll make you wanna do something you claim to love. Either love it and get it done or love the image and just talk about it.

I have Boy Blue ready to view, I put the budget at 5 to 10 million, but it could be lower. I am open to changes with the story and my focus is getting it made.

Hi Nicholas. Find me via alex@balassa.tv If you would be interested in a Love Romantic Comedy Feature that takes place in Hungary and Chile in 1975.

Hey Nicholas, I have a cash cow genre film that is market & production ready utilizing my 25 years of experience as a producer, executive producer, financier, line producer, and DGA UPM (including numerous British Films.) You can contact me here or via my contact page. My Producer Credits can be found at FilmBudget.com/about Thanks for posting!

Check out my Kickstarter it’s expired, but shooting this thing soon and need to pay for day rates of a professional Sony DP. I paused production it was supposed to be starting on 03-20-2021. Slight symptoms awaiting my covid test. When I’m clear we can get a majority of the film done the smart way. It’s a good deal I’m getting but still kinda outta my league. I through the woodwork almost had the Jabbawockeez attached and ready to provide $100,000. The show still goes on with out the equity. I would love to tell you more. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hereiamimjean-frank/i-do-not-do-drugs

Three outcast tweeners must discover Magic's dark history to stop a vengeful witch from kidnapping their friend.

A vaudevillian trio of cosmic Ancients takes over America in a manhunt for a dark god on the loose who gets VERY angry when he's not drinking.

John - I see I liked "Winner Takes Dad" 3 years ago, and I still like it now. That suggests to me that there's real potential in the concept.

2 YOOTS MINUS LOOT

Animated web series

Two teens from south london dream about being rich and famous! Mad plots and crazy schemes will literally take them to the moon!

Forced (Feature - Drama/Thriller) (inspired by historical event) - A retired doctor is stalked by a new resident at a retirement community. When her adult daughters are kidnapped, her own past comes to light.

Hi, Damion. Glad to connect with you. Cool concept art.

Thanks!

Looking good still!

Exciting stuff, Damion! We've actually been watching the series Titans of late. Which Teen Titans version are you comparing it to?

Are you making your project as a comic book first and then a series? Where are you thinking for it, Netflix?

Also, you should totally post your link on your profile and in the Your Stage Lounge! https://www.stage32.com/lounge/promotion Technically, you can share links in the topic lounges so long as it leads to a bigger conversation than "what do you think?" or "look at what I did!" LOL!

Thanks Karen. Will do. OK, answers.. I'd compare my "show" to the Teen Titans series that ran from 2003-2006, with a dash of Justice League Unlimited. The funny thing is that I avoided doing a comic for awhile but I'm in the middle of production of our 1st issue now. I am thinking Netflix (I mean who isn't?) . Mainly because they are not entangled with a superhero IP of their own, a'la Disney/Marvel or HBO/DC.. I'll post the trailer in my profile and the Your Stage Longe. Hope you get a chance to look at it. I think you'd like it.

Alien worlds on Netflix looks like a neat documentary and it has high-quality Animation.

Thanks for this post Karen "Kay" Ross I was looking for similar references. We are working on a documentary focused towards challenges experiences by new immigrants. Planning to narrate the history and their journeys through animation.

Thanks for the suggestion, Kumar Sambhav! That's a fascinating use of animation, but I can totally see that being effective. Recapping history seems a good use of animation. Did you see Kevin Jackson's post about using animation to highlight the history of Jamaicans in WWII: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/animation/Any-other-BIPOC-animators-in-th...

Wow, Paul Thomas - that is a powerful use of animation! It really makes the pacing more frantic and really echoes the disconnect from reality. Neat idea!

I made an animated documentary simply because with animation you can get access to scenes and props that my budget wont allow.

Check it out, it's about creation vs evolution and its narrated by me aswell.

I love your positive energy and wish you the best, Kai! Sometimes when I need to think through a creative problem, I'll take a long drive and just let it live in my subconscious. Maybe your bus routes are getting your creative juices going!

Hey Kai! I'm in London too. You're doing a great job out there so thank you for that regardless and do keep yourself safe and well. Good luck with all this amazing proactive stuff you're doing with film making. Really inspiring hearing what you had to say and made me feel so humbled that I've not been as active in developing my own dreams when I believe I have a lot more time to do just that. Shameful.

Thanks for the positive kick!

Kai, great message my friend! I love the positive energy, the world needs more of it.

Yeah Kaitlin it's so true! Sometimes people ring the bell to get off the bus and I'm in my own world thinking about an idea. My job definitely gives me alot of time to brainstorm.

Hey Sara and thanks it's good to be appreciated, I've been working right through both lockdowns and so far so safe. Don't be too hard on yourself though because finding motivation and inspiration in the middle of a pandemic isn't the easiest thing to do but today when I woke up, instead of criticising myself I did the opposite and looked at what I have accomplished not what I haven't.

Nice one Thomas I hear you

Especially in times like this, the world needs entertainment and escapism so I feel like we providing a public service.

Congratulations! Hey, a win is a win.
