Basically you'll need three things:
[li]An idea of what you're going to make the movie on (a certain Halo criteria, maybe a promotional video);[/li]
[li]Recording software (I use FRAPS);[/li]
[li]Editing software (the freebie Windows Movie Maker is very good).[/li]
FRAPS records 'clips' whenever you select record, for the length of time your recording session goes on for. Using a program such as Windows Movie Maker (AKA. WMM), you can compile, trim and transition clips with a variety of methods. You can also add titles and credits this way, as well as audio, resulting in a professional finish.
Some key factors that will help you make the most out of your video are: timing (if you time the action and music together, the effect is quite delightful), organisation and clip order, and variety (generally its better to have a range of good, short clips than a few long ones).
Any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll answer as best I can.
