Video making is an art.
Even if it's just a simple slideshow, by mixing pictures, sound, music, anything- at the right spots at the right moments, you can create the mood, style, and the effect on your viewers that you want.. at least that's the way I see it.
Nevertheless, it takes a lot of thinking to 'make' a video of your own, unless you have something VERY important or interesting. Most people may not take this video-making thing seriously, but, even for a 16-year old like me, I kinda do.

A video is like a picture, and to paint a beautiful picture, you need talent. The same goes to making a brilliant video.
