Well King Keatz, I think I'll just run you down with what you'll need
A decent soundcard (comes with the computer. If it's not decent you can blame any noise that you cannot attribute to any other source on the soundcard)
Audacity (Google it!)
A microphone (You can also use earphones. No guarantee that your set will work.)
Alright. Download and install Audacity. It's a minimal yet decent sort of DAW/recording program.
Buttons are self-explanatory. Inverted triangle = Play. Square = Stop. Circle = record, etc. Sorry if I sound condensating.
Record!
Save as .wav for maximum quality when you're done recording.
Tips: Put a sock on your mic to minimize the stress you put on say your p's and t's. The stress usually sounds really noisy/windy.
Noise correction (not perfect, sounds really filtered and processed but still somewhat effective) can be achieved by playing around with the Audacity Noise Removal Plugin (youtube it!)

Hi! I need help making this video that's described in detail on this thread 42-43-504-61271482. It's based on the title sequence to every episode of Avatar: The last airbender. Preferred actors would be people familiar with the show, but I would also like some general machinima advice if it's not too much to ask.

Some advices:
1. You could use special effects such as explosions and stuff like that to make it look more realistic. (If yo use air blast, you can use dust effect...Fire blast, trees in fire etc...). Also try using sound effects to make it sound more realistic.
Try using something different to record than Unregistered Hypercam2 because you will have a watermark in the upper corner. I suggest to use fraps because the watermark isn't too big and also it has a better quality.
On the editing of the video you could use some DOF (Depth of Field) to make it look better.
Hope I helped. :)
