How to Make Vids - The easy way

Are you tired of asking "How can I make vids?" over and over again and only getting that same old "Get the DVDs, do the ripping" answer? Been looking for an easier, more effective way of finding clips and using them

I don't understand the mentality of "Well, I can't get it myself, but I want to do it nooow so I'll just use other people's stuff without asking and/or even though they've put on their website not to do it". I never will. I did my research and got what I needed, and yes, it took time.

With the advances in technology and software, all someone needs is a DVD drive. Except for the drive, everything I use I got for free. (The joy of the 'net.) A quick search at bestbuy.ca shows me a DVD drive for under $100 Cdn, but this will become a rant in patience, responsibility, budgeting, and bugging people for gift cards for birthday/Christmas, and if they really can't afford to save for that, they'd best get off the internet.

Computers come equipped with Windows Movie Maker. The internet is full of resources -- like google, and torrents. A lot of vidders' websites point out many of those resources.

And you're right: I don't tolerate people who don't seem to be capable of using the tools at hand besides passing off other fans' fanwork as their own -- be it google, torrents, or communicating with vidders. I started all from scratch, on my own, and I was a dumb kid. They can do it too. I absolutely believe we should condemn and be intolerant towards this attitude, because it's entitlement and entitlement needs to die a swift death: "I want to vid and get lots of compliments, and I shouldn't have to do any work or research for it, so I'm going to do it the easiest way possible by pretending other people's work is mine."

Hear, hear (or here, here). Damn it I never know which one it is! ;) Either way...what you said. *nods* (And I don't even make vids.)
