(footage from my CNY getaway, content: a brief intro to the game 'Sleeping Queens')

This is the result of nearly 4hours of meddling, which surprised me because:
1) I didnt expect it to take so long to do a video.
2) Even after this long, the video still looks so amateurish.
3) I never knew cutting and joining clips/sounds could be so fun.

At the end of the experience, I actually wanted to try another more advanced movie maker because the basic functions in WMM8 became too "basic" for me. I wanted more control over the editing. So far, googling it, I havent been able to come across many good (and FREE) ones that I could play with. *sighs*

Recommend me some software for this novice video maker! Thanks! =]

/edit: wow, the quality is so greatly reduced after uploading! :/
