How Can i create a Naruto AMV?

Question

I am a beginner in all this stuff. I developed an interest in video editing but im no good at it at all. So far all ive been able to do are add titles, credits, and background music. I did this all with Windows Movie Maker 2. I am now trying to make animations with Macromedia Flash MX but its not going so well. Can someone teach me how to create my own Naruto AMV. Please help me since I am still a beginner.

First, i wish you good luck. I have no direct answer that will help. Flash MX is so darn big and kick butt that you are not going to learn it in a single day. Start out learning simple animations which at 3-4 hours a day should take maybe a month or two. then the more difficult task of learning actionScript (flash computer language) at 3-4 hours a day would take about another month or two for basics mastery.

People pay 1000's of dollars to learn flash, i just bought 2 books from barnes and noble, aplication development and a book called actionscript 2.0 and taught mysel which was very dry in the beginning, but now its great!! And if your young, marketing pays big bucks!! Anyway, without actionscript you have no interactivity. Such as Naruto.. Naruto breathing is an easy animation, but, thru actionscript, changing the mouse pointer to a feather and rubbing on Narutos nose to make him sneeze is way better.

Either way, ive spent countless free hours doing stuff for others using flash, with my 3 year old, my time is limited now. Hope i helped!! LEarn flash, make some dough!!
