    The best way to make movies is to get a ton of material on the subject matter you want to base your movie on. Then you're going to want all the best scenes from that up until the time limit that you decide to set (9 or 10 minutes is a decent max to start with for a very well made video), set music to it and throw in captions. If you can do that, cut/paste film, cut/paste music, and add captions, then you can move on to timing stuff to go with the music and all that, but usually just those basics are enough.

    I tend to agree with Tommy - unless you're doing something funny/theme oriented that isn't about performance... like this: http://www.wegame.com/watch/Beer_for_my_horses/ or like old classics - the WoW Beer Song or the Internet is for Porn.

    If you're going for that sort of fun vibe, I'd come up with a good theme and song first. The ability to rewrite songs and do voice-over is helpful too, but not necessary if you pick a good song and use some good emotes and "acting" (for lack of a better term). There are some pretty pro videos out there, I'd suggest you take your time, otherwise it could have the opposite effect of what you want to achieve.

    #Thread should be moved to either the task force or the TERA section.

    Generally there are some pitfalls in media with game content in them, so it really depends what you are trying to do.

    Are you going to be using raw gameplay, machinima, or both?

    For raw gameplay: Avoid ALL popular/common music, popmusic, trashy hiphop/rap, DNB, vanilla techno, vanilla trance, anything that is very loud/fast and any generic metal, epic/powermetal, thrashcore, death metal, most punk or anything that generally says "we're tuff guys" as that's about 90% of all game videos out there, they don't stand out and the majority of it's viewerbase won't connect to the footage how the maker thinks they will.

    For machinima, you should pick a recording software that runs well on your rig. Try afterburner and if that doesn't work flawlessly with everything you want, try fraps (im sure theres a few others I can't remember), get a solid goal, write it down, then start capturing for that goal. After you have all the footage figure out what to make of it, and if that doesn't come out smooth adapt and see how it looks from another creation angle until you get something that works for you.

    Any specific questions?
