I'm not sure I typically have that, "it's never finished issue". Mostly with the CGI stuff I find myself hitting a brick wall where I just can't make something happen. What I typically do at this point is either work on another section or to find some assistance or training.

My issue at the moment is that I've done most of the simple animation of the props and have to create the movement of the main character the ringmaster. Even what seems to be  a simple movement like turning to a table seems to be very difficult to create.

I think what I'll do when I get back in the UK is to start breaking down all of the moves into really small movements and then try some of the easy ones first before trying to put them all together in a sequence. My step to the left, I think I'll leave till later...

I think I'm on the way to finding my motivation again... cheers everyone
