Protecting the spark: The process of making an animated short film

The creative process has its highs and lows. Even for people whose passion is creating, often the journey of actually realizing one's ideas can turn into a grueling thing. In the worst case scenario it gets to a point where the artist ends up burning out, losing faith in the project or simply not wanting anything to do with the idea anymore after a long, frustrating artistic process. Animation in particular is a medium that requires an incredible amount of work, where realizing even a short idea takes a huge amount of time and effort.  How do you find a balance between the spark of creativity versus being practical and productive, so that you can realize your ideas without burning out? Through examining the insights learned during the process of making an animated short film, this paper explores how to protect the creative spark and tackle some practicalities though a creative process in order to make it manageable.
