Martin: There is no way Windows Movie Maker can animate those still photos. In order to do "proper video" you have to buy a movie camera...;-)
Windows Movie Maker is actually quite decent for doing YouTube-quality short clips. Any other program you obtain will probably have the same general structure -- a timeline onto which you drag and drop segments of video, audio, titles, credits, trailers, etc. In my experience there is going to be a considerable learning period no matter what package you use. The best "amateur" program is probably Vegas, from Sony. It is relatively inexpensive, is available in several versions with different levels of features, and you can download it and try it out for 30 days before you have to pay. By the way, very nice playing on the clip you just posted! Cutting is *not* easy.
