I think it's definitely really intimidating to make a vid, but having recently developed the basic skills I *do* think anyone can do it, and there are pretty effective vids out there from people who just get an idea and wrestle withe their computer until a vid emerges (this one, for example (BSG) (http://chaila43.livejournal.com/16489.html)).
I mean, I ended up with my first vid (http://heyiya.livejournal.com/165482.html) in the Envelope panel at VVC (not that I think anyone was that into it, but that's neither here nor there; I wasn't at VVC to know anyway, and it wasn't really made with the audience of vidders in mind). Vidding is actually the first time I've felt able to cross that producer/consumer line, even though I know I can't go near the technical amazingness of so many VVC vids.
