What do you need to make a video?

If you are making a video of yourself ( for reasons such as vlogs, video tuts, etc), a webcam is highly recommended. You can also do without a webcam by using a normal camcorder, video camera, or even a cell phone with video camera features. If you want to add effects to the video, you can use video editors such as Windows Movie Maker (available for free from Microsoft website). If you purchased or own a webcam that has no microphone feature, you must use a voice input device such as a microphone. All these items can be purchased on Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, etc.
