Well to be honest, I did get burned out earlier a few years back. Though it was for a different reason than the usual burn out.
I was getting burned out from doing the animation first of all, in mspaint and second of all through a crashing computer. I had made over 200 frames worth of animation through MSpaint, but none of them went together. They were just random things that alone wouldn't make much sense as a story.
Eventually after being reminded that I had to draw and re-draw those frames with a mouse and not have any layers to help make my life easier, progress on the animation became almost non existent.
So it wouldn't be true for me to say that I wasn't burned out, but I will say that once I got a brand new computer and advanced software that made animating easier. That's how I was once again able to put in some more effort into the project.
I have some very lofty goals for this animation, so hopefully everyone will enjoy the amount of effort I'm putting into it. Not being trained in animation or art makes it really tough for me to get the perspective and movements right, but I'll keep trying to get it right.
I'll repost the links for anyone wondering about the animation:

Wow dude thats a lot of work and an impressive outcome! I loved the mirror effect near the end, I thought that was a neat idea. What did u use for music? It got fairly epic and made a nice addition to the background.
Major kudos!
Well I'm glad to see you're back at it. Just don't kill yourself doing it.
The song is called "Seranata" from immediatemusic.com
Unfortunately, the website was recently revamped and therefore the song is unable to be downloaded by people like us. "Epic" is the PERFECT word to describe what I'm going for though, just wait and see what happens next!
You should treat yourself to a drawing tablet. Should make the process much easier.
I actually do have a drawing tablet, hence why I've actually managed to complete this animation! It has made the process significantly easier, but it still takes time to do.
Then you should treat yourself to something else.. um.. perhaps buying some muscle growth serum and sneak in a few women's drinks or something at the bar? ;D
