How to make a video for the Dinotoyblog

Hello, I decided I would like to try to make video reviews for the Dino Toy Blog, and I wanted to know how do you do it?

I am experimenting with Windows Movie Maker, but I cant get any audio on it. And I don't have a microphone.   

Any other ways to make videos?  I have a camera with a video feature, but I assume that won't be enough.

That would be good!

A camera with video should be fine, that's how I recorded my collection video. On the other hand, I used my laptop camera for my review video, for simplicity, but next time I'll probably set up my camera on a tripod or something. I wasn't sure whether to present to the camera, or point the camera at the figure. I thought the former would be more personal and professional. It does make it more difficult to see the figure, though. I edited with iMovie. I might be able to help with the editing if you have problems, depending on how much work it involves.

As for submitting it, you can email the file or files if it is small enough, or we can work out how to share it on Dropbox or something, if it is bigger.

I suppose, as with the written reviews, there will be an element of quality control, but we can see how things go.
