Movie-making free programs?

Question by : Movie-making free programs?
I already have windows moviemaker, and it’s great but I want a good program that will let me do some effects to the video footage. for example, have you seen “Juno”? the effect in the beginning when she’s walking and she looks cartoonish, then it switches to normal footage? Something like that. there are alot of free programs, but i want to download one that’s actually (at least somewhat) worth it. please help! your suggestions and/or experience are greatly appreciated.
🙂

PS: It’s basically for a “my life” movie for a history project.
thanks.

Movie making software won’t let you make the juno effect. For that you’ll need animation software. Find someone with a mac and use iMovie for something different than Win moviemaker.
