Agreed all around. If you're working on something, work on it and talk about your progress. "No one will help me" is an excuse. Artists don't make excuses, they make art.

Not by professionals. Not by serious amateurs, either.
Not from Los Angeles, CA or from all the way to Peoria, IL.

Both get out there and do it. Whether they have the backing of hundreds of millions of dollars and a small army, or they're just a lone guy in his 2 bedroom apartment w/ his cats. They both get shit done and don't make excuses. They make product. They make it for us to watch and enjoy. If the people they've slated to help them can't make it, they find others. They don't wait for the help to come to them if they need it. They are serious about getting it done. "No one will help me" that just fancy talk for "I couldn't be bothered." If you can't do it, you can't do it, but your excuse can't be that you couldn't get others to do it for/with you. You are the lead man, it rests on your shoulders, so man up and admit that you don't want to do it, or do it and prove everyone wrong.

BONUS TIP: If you can prove that you can get things done, on time, and well, people are more likely to come and help you. Everybody loves a winner. Pulling things off w/o making excuses is a magnet for other eager helpers on future projects.

You're right creators do hit bumps in the road. The difference is they persevere. They keep working while something is on the backburner momentarily. You just kind of languish and hope people will give you money for a computer when you could be writing or location scouting or a zillion other things.

If you knew anything about me you know I have a disability that keeps me from driving.
 
Joe, how come when you reply to people you go off on a completely different tangent?
 
@Joe_Cracker I lol at your creative usage of "hole" in an earlier post, but I fail to see what your goal in coming here is. A lot of us are creative people, and your personal plight is like a joke to people who actually animate, write, draw, etc. Why not take the suggestions of some of the earlier posters here and try to finish your projects in a more cost-effective, realistic fashion. Hell, do you really need a new computer for whatever you're doing? I really don't want to come off as A-loggy here, but my computer died on me earlier in the year, and I've been forced to keep working on the fucking Ipad, and yet that hasn't slowed me down.

So apparently I have to explain this to you. Basically I was listing many things you could be doing to work on your films. Scouting locations is one of them but you apparently thought that was all I said. You can do tons of things to help make your movies but instead you bitch and moan on here about how mommy and daddy won't let you use their computer.

Maybe you need help in reading comprehension?
