Hear, hear. Audio is by far the most important element when assembling a video project.
Your audio drives your narrative, and can compensate for mediocre or lousy video shots.
I actually started shooting and editing video stories for the newspaper I work for several months ago, and I recently put together a list of tips and suggestions for budding videographers.
Oh, and one other thing I learned (the hard way): don't try to edit your movie in the Vista version of Movie Maker. Heartache will surely follow.
Not to toot my own horn too loudly, but as long as we're on the subject...
John Carmack was out at SMU here in Dallas on Monday to talk to the first group of students entering SMU's Guildhall game development program. I'm the videogame reporter for The Dallas Morning News, so I went out to SMU and sat in on Carmack's speech and discussion. Here's the article (free reg. required) I put together afterwards, if anyone's interested.
