I noticed throughout my teaching that most students feel they have to come up with an idea from scratch.  This, however is not the case.  Tons of artists use the means of deconstruction to create!  

Consider deconstructing or beginning with existing images; video, audio, print, sculpture, anything really, as your start to an art process.  The Martha Colburn video we showed was a great example of an artist utilizing existing images in media to say what she wants to say.   http://youtu.be/UxOOOKE-opI

We have the liberty of creating every frame with animation but that does not mean we have to CREATE every frame from air.  

Something to think about...  

Here's some artists that do just that, whether they alter existing images or literally destroy work to create it:
