You're in luck, because there's a lot of help available on the net.
First, you're going to need a camera. A normal webcam will do nicely, as
this film testifies. Check out the following link to get some clues about
which ones are good:

Next, you will need software to capture your footage, add sounds, effects
and such. Go shopping at the following page for a basic package (SMA,
VideoMach, DDClip should be ok for a start).

Finally, go practice! A good framerate is 12-15 fps (both 12 and 15 are used
in my film), and I would recommend starting with walks. Check out the
following tutorial for that:

I just noticed that most of the information in here is also in another of
his tutorials.
Finally, there is a FAQ, and a bunch of helpful people at
http://www.brickfilms.com/
More tutorials can be found at

I hope this will get you started!
Stefan.
