You can use your phone but the quality wont be the best. Then you need to use a video editor like Windows Movie Maker, Adobe Premiere Elements. If your phone records in mp4,3gp,mov convert it to avi with Super and you can import it in the editing tools.

and please use a better subject. I changed it this time, you can edit it yourself by click on the edit button on your first post.

thx sir... but but.... how to do it? do i need to record alot of videos and mix them together or what 0_o i need a guide here >.<

Yes, you'll need to record videos first. They don't have to cover the entire song, just portions. So, you can shoot a lot of short clips.

If you want to lip-sync, then it's probably helpful to have some kind of playback machine on location, even an iPod would do it. Remember to capture the audio while shooting so all the singing will be easier to sync with the actual song when you're finally editing.

When you start editing, lay down the song to one of the audio tracks, and then start adding video clips on the video track (you can delete production audio after lip syncing). If you don't need lip sync, then just throw anything you want up there.

Bottom line: you'll need some sort of video editing program for this. You can shoot the videos on a cell phone, but, of course, a camcorder would guarantee better results.

Hope it helped a bit~

Also, if you look to the left for 'EDIT' under 'HOW TO', you will see some guides for that purpose. <<<<<<
