Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20   \nThe flip animation feature lets you take up to 100 shots in a row and then throw them together into a 320 x 240 movie up to 20 seconds long. You can choose from a frame rate of 5 or 10 frames/second. This feature can be used for making "stop motion" animation.

You need some sort of camera.  If your subject matter is near your computer then a web cam would work.  If you want to shoot away from the computer you need some sort of digital video camera. Many digital still cameras have the ability to shoot video as do some camera phones. If your computer is a Windows machine then any camera with a USB connection will work.  If your computer is a Mac then you should have a camera with a Firewire connector.\n\nIf you are making really short videos with no need for multiple clips, titles, or transitions, you might be able to do what you need with a program called Quicktime Pro.  You can download a free version of Quicktime from Apple Computer and then register it for about $30 to enable the "Pro" features which will let you make simple edits and export the video in a form suitable for sites like Youtube.  If you want more capabilities get Movie Maker for Windows or iMovie for the Mac.

I have a canon SD 450, 5 Megapixels.  Works great and probably under $300.  Canon's known as one of the best for digital cameras.  If you want, you can get the SD 550, which is 7.1 MP, and its still under $500.  But you don't really need that many megapixels unless you want to print something the size of a billboard.  \n\nCheck it out:\nhttp://shopping.yahoo.com/s:Digital%20Cameras:4168-Brand=Canon

I use Ulead Video Studio it is pretty user friendly so It is easy to use.  It comes with some effects and is fairly cheap. It even comes with catchy music to add to your movies.

You'll need to refer to your camera's documentation or manual but the easy way is to get a capturing device (such as a dazzle) and some video editing software like Pinnacle for pc or Final Cut Pro for mac.\nYou can probably find out everything you need to know at: www.pinnacle.com

If you mean Animated Movie Videos (AMV), then I suggest using Maya by Autodesk (after its acquisition to Alias)\n\nMaya, used in most films today, is named for the Sanskrit word meaning "Illusion" and is a popular, proprietary integrated 3D software suite, evolved from Alias PowerAnimator. Maya comes in two main versions, Maya Complete (the less powerful package) and Maya Unlimited. Maya Unlimited is now priced similarly to other proprietary 3D programs, but used to be considerably more expensive. Maya Personal Learning Edition (PLE) is available for non-commercial use, and is available at no cost though.\n\nhttp://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=6902573

If you want to be able to use all of the features of the software, go with a Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme pro card.  It is probably the best recommended by Adobe (who makes the Premiere Pro software).  Bluefish444 also has several good cards which will work fine.  Check out the site below:

You might want to check out Plextor.\n\nThey are expensive but are really good.\n\nWe use them here at my work. Sony's are also ok, but we've had more Sony's come back thant Plextor.

a pin-hole camera (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_camera)\nor kaleidoscope (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaleidoscope)\nmay be interesting projects.

Canopus makes some good ones.  I use mine to convert old VHS home movies to digital, then edit and burn to DVD.\n\nhttp://www.canopus.com/products/videoconversion.php

Do it at home, project the film and record it with a digital camcorder, then burn it using your computer. Otherwise you are looking at expensive equipment so you may want to contact a photo or video shop.

First of all you have to have an objective  or a subject to shoot. \nWrite the story down. \n\nEquipment. \n\nI suggest the Cannon XL2 in Mini DV. This is a very good camera for outdoors. ITs dependable and easy to use.  It can also take in Canon SLR lenses. You can actually mount the 600mm canon slr lens on it. \n\nhttp://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=165&modelid=10350\n\nOh also get the PAL version its closer to 30fps. you'd get better images. than the NTSC\n\nHope this helps Good luck

Go to best buy. Shell out 800$ for Flash 8 Professional. Have it hurt your wallet so much you read the manual.\n\nf9 for action script panel\n\n//code to click\non (release){\nwhateverframe.gotoAndPlay(x);\n//calling the transition animation\n}\n\nto make some kind of animation, hit f5 to add keyframes, add a new key frame and make changes. Highlight one keyframe to another and right click, select motion tween.
