Discussions with Rolvak: Animating

So lately the forum has been leking on animations, because we are lazy :\ so my question is:
Why don't you animate?
Well I don't animate because I am not inspired or in the mood, but I have tons of ideas that want to conver them into a pivot but I can't because I am lazy and only want to play Team Fortress 2, Minecraft and work on the secret project(But more Team Fortress 2 :3)
For those that quitted pivot, Why did you quit?
For those who don't animate in pivot, why not give it a try?
And wen I mean pivot I also mean other animating programs,
Well I guess I'm back in the mood and I'm going to try and make like 5 animations and post them in my thread :3 but first I need to clean the spider webs <_<

I don't animate because I don't want to

i quit because i didn't have inspiration...and if your a great pivoter you quit

i've been kinda busy and have been getting caught up in other things like doing stuff with friends or playing xbox

Lack of inspiration and ideas. I do have a couple of new animations floating around on my personal laptop that I should upload.

^Floating around Aussie-Net.

Cause I loose patience.

Will to animate, all the good animators I grew up looking up to quit and I'm like BLEh.

Yup, pretty much. If Hopdiddy puts something on YouTube, so will I.

kwts is right.
all of the people that inspired me have quit ):

...except terkoiz

Well I don't have any expecific insparation, I just watch epic animations, then I feel inpared and animate something... What really brags me down is wen I open pivot theres that stupid retarded default that takes away my mood, I wished wen I started pivot my background was allready made :3, but there is a solution for that! What if I made the background save it as a .PIV file and give it a name like " Street background" , "roof top background" "Plain background" etc... Then to feel pumped I putted on some kick arse song! I should try that

Another question for you guys:
Does that default stickmen takes away your mood and insparation or is it just me?

i find him boring, but i don't think it bothers me.

sometimes i feel intimidated once i delete him though. i have to make all of the sticks that that'll fill the whiteness of the background. it seems like a lot of work sometimes

I don't animate simply because I have Halo Reach and Black Ops.. So long as there are people willing to challenge me I shall prevail.. I shall kick the holy crap out of them. Though I want to animate at times without a good reason to I won't. Or when I do it will take awhile.

i dont animate cause im just not inspired and i play league of legends sumtimes i just cant decide what to animate and eventually give up all hope and go back to eating my cookies

@Rolvak: Hopdiddy's been in Iraq for ages. Seriously!
Also, if you're sick of seeing the default, delete it, put in your base/sig, a floor STK, and a background is also optional. Click 'Next Frame' then save the animation as a .PIV to your desktop and call it something basic like 'Pivot'. Then right click that file and go to 'Open With', then choose the version of Pivot you use. Vóila
