I was just messing around and created a quick video for a Warrior Forum contest.

First, view the video here:

It was real simple to make:

- I used Windows free movie maker

- Used animations from www.animationfactory.com (You can even use animated gifs!) to create a "slide show".

- Added "titles" using Movie Maker

- Tossed in a free royalty-free soundtrack I found in Google.

Everything but the animimationfactory membership was free, and you can find all sorts of free graphics, movies, pictures to use in your own videos.

YOu can use a digital camera and take pictures of leaves blowing, snow falling, the sun setting, etc.

The point is, it's easy and free (or cheap) and fun to make some videos that you can use to upload and get some great link juice.
