What is the easiest, no-frills way to produce a simple video on Windows 8?

Question

My laptop has a camera. Since it can obviously take video of me (a la Skyping), it should be easy to create a video of myself (I am going to create a short video for a Kickstarter project).My laptop runs Windows 7 and 8.All I'm going to do is stand or sit in front of it and talk for a couple of minutes. What is the easiest way to accomplish that using apps that come with Windows or something free that I can download?

Answer 1

It's simple, start putting your mind set in the basics. Start your plan from scratch. Understand your available resources, first. Understand your message. (me) what I would do is understand transferring my images to computer and teach yourself how to edit. (take a deep breath) and don't get too ahead of yourself. Keep it simple.

Answer 2

I believe you have Movie Maker on you computer. If not, it’s a free download from Microsoft.
