Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
As long as you have a webcam, camcorder or digital camera you can make stop motion videos!. If you're just starting out, I'd suggest using a webcam or a camcorder over a digital camera since it'll provide less problems and hassles!.

The following two sites both offer beginner guides, tutorials and a handbook on the most common stop motion topics!. Both sites also have forums where you can ask and gain answers to any stop motion specific questions!.

To actually frame-grab and compile the movie, I'd suggest using Monkeyjam if you're on a PC!. It's free!.
