AH will record what happens and out put it out as silent AVI movie files.
You can then chop and change them and add sound tracks with the free soft ware included in Windows XP; all you need is imagination and vision. We're talking AH film viewer; Windows Moviemaker; Windows sound recorder and Windows Media player; Bill Gates Loves us).
If your vision needs the cruth of effects; then Adobe products are a very good place to start; because they have so many effects built in as standard (save film; export film; load film in adobe; apply effect and save!)
But...
Already in AH we get for free special effects Steve Maqueen would die for (when did HE sit in a real spit and shoot down a real 109?); adobe and the like only make the effects even more special.
What's missing is story; the reality of any art is "is that you?".
If you want to make a cool explosion/snuff movie; then Windows has it; just turn the graphics up while you record.
But if you've a story to tell; I'll read it even if it's written on bog paper.
Do what you can and post it; try and tell a story,
Looking forward to it :-)
