I think earthstar_chan and ichiban_victory have the right idea -- I know from experience that I only made it worse whenever I stressed out over a lack of desire to draw or overall creative energy. Thinking about it and worrying only seems to widen the gap between what you want to do and what you can do. So I would try to relax and not think about it -- just let it come when it's ready and in the meantime surround yourself with things to inspire you. It will come back. <3 Don't worry. You can never lose your ability/talent, but you can make yourself more comfortable in a mental sense while waiting for it to return.
I hope that's helpful to you! :D
"And often, marketing departments know NOTHING of the movie when they make the trailer (seriously. I worked marketing. All we get is a tiny report to created something. No joke.)"
Huh. I was wondering what was up with that. Because a lot of movies get advertised with the wrong tone/music (or at least imho) and it's kind of a turn off to me -- especially with the hard rock theme because it's just SO overused. It doesn't stop me from watching the movie usually (unless the overall impression is just that bad and then in that case I wait for DVD) but it does make me sigh every time. Like "oh boy, here we go again..."
You'd think the movie studio that wants to advertise these multi-million dollar budget movies would give the marketing companies a little more to work with -- then again it must be fine the way it is given ticket sales. Ah well. ^^;;
