ok, I'd like to join avatar school. How is this stuff done? Where do you host the vids? How do you edit vids? I have MSPaint. I have windows Mediaplayer. Tell me I need no more than this.

The videos are animated gifs. Not sure what most use, but I used to make em with paint shop pro.
btw, don't waste your time with MS Paint, there are at least 2 solid free replacements for windows that are 100 times better.
Paint.NET
Gimp
