The best process I know for that is by trial and error, start with simple things, buy a book that teach you about photography, understand lenses, angles, apertures, etc. Get inspired by others people work.

Read books about cinema, animation, Photoshop, watch tutorials over the internet, youtube, etc.

Tools I use, Gimp, Davinci Resolve, Fusion 9, RawTherapee, Inkscape, Natron, Hitfilm, Blender, Avisynth and Virtualdub.

This tools can get you in the right direction and keep you busy to do much more than the video you posted.
The best way to get inside this business is to practice and read, when you done practicing and reading, you do some more practice and reading over and over again. When you feel you are ready start posting your work over the internet.

PS: There is NO EASY TOOLS or EASY RIDE!

Except Photoshop,GIMP and Movie maker i never knew that there are so many tools.
But this field is intresting.
I will go and take a course in learning.

I worked as a mechanical engineer using CAD/CAE tools. But they are very costly. Outside my office i cannot work. Because i dont have a tool and hence is limited
But this is a field which is seen by all over the world. So i am developing a passion to wards learning this tools
Appreciate your reply.

Why don't you two just stand up and yell over the cubicle wall to each other?

[kamalakar108]

Yes. All these days this is what i was doing. Until i met great people like Budeman, Videoburger and Sneaker, who helped us in giving some thing Great,Excelent substantial thing to this world to make a difference.
Then when we reviewing the process I realized how important this skill is. A video sent across if it has a good content and good message to win the hearts of the people, it will be viewed by Billions of people all over the world.

I dont know the help Budeman, videoburger and sneaker has done to me they will realize it or not, they became part of some thing great they may not visualize. They will be blessed with all good fortune in their lives.

I am voluntarily serving a institution serving all over the world millions of people to have happy, peaceful and contended life. Their one line of sentence help has changed the way we are going to operate. 1080 videos across 90 lanuages to be viewed by billions of people down the line.

I dont know what in this world is more meaningful and blissful then becoming part of such a great work.

Ansel Adams wrote that the most useful photography tool he ever used was a piece of cardboard cut like a frame, painted black, and in the same aspect ratio as his negatives. It helped him see. No eye = no good.

Sir,

What skills we have to learn for this. <snip>

To rip off Apple: "just do it."

That's how I learned. I just started creating video projects. My first one was a ten second clip of my wife reading to my daughter when she was young. I did it using the wonderful neophyte editing software, Pinnacle Studio. This software is still being sold and is a great program to use when you are just starting out. I then graduated to VideoFactory (now called Movie Studio), the little brother of Vegas, and then eventually bought Vegas Pro, which is what I've been using for the past fourteen years. I now do video restoration, event videography, and have posted over 10,000 times in various video editing forums. No one taught me, and I didn't read any books. I just did it, and when I got stumped, I asked questions here, in the Vegas forum, and in doom9.org.
