It's not there. What does the button look like? Or, if I don't have the button on the laptop keyboard, how else would I do it?
It would depend on the type of keyboard you have. Here's one on a regular keyboard.
And here's one on a laptop's keyboard.
Remember that the button isn't in the same position on every keyboard. Here's a close up of the print screen key on the laptop keyboard.
If you don't have the button at all, you can download screen capture software and take pictures with that.
Are you on a mac or a PC? On a PC it's very simple, you just press "print screen" and the screen is copied to your clipboard, from there go to an image editing program such as MS paint and press ctrl + v to make it appear. ALT + Print Screen only captures the window you have open.
But where is the clipboard under?
Never mind, I solved it. It was very easy. Thanks for all the help everyone!
The clipboard is exactly that, only you can't see it. 
Yep. It took me ages to figure out though...I wonder why...:)
I just made a tutorial that first kind of illustrates easing in and out, and in the second part I show a run cycle I use. Doesn't really matter to me if you use it, but it's available if you're interested
I could create a tutorial on how to make video widescreen in Sony Vegas.
Please do! I need to know how! 
I actually have several tutorials that I could put on here: one on how to do masking in Gimp, a lego cradle for the LogiTech 9000 (the same as Nathan Well's), and some various effects. I would actually have to make them though, I am just saying that I could make them, and I know how to.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncRsKoIzRtk I don't think anyone thought of a Tutorial like this before.
I made a walking tutorial a while back. Apparently, it was removed but someone else must have uploaded a copy in pdf form. Just thought I'd share it, I know some people have seen it already.

Its missing the links to the video footage that goes along with the tutorial, but I have all the original files including the tutorial in html. There's about 20MB worth of pictures and video that goes along with it.
Here's a shaky-cam tutorial I did: http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to … -tutorial/
Okay, we're making progress, but there are some areas where we currently have no or very little material to post. Here's a list:
Inspiration - coming up with story ideas, etc.
Pre-production - scripting, storyboarding, etc.
Voice Acting - The basics of voice acting, finding voice actors, posting a good casting call, etc.
Equipment - what you need to make a brickfilm. Could be articles on specific areas, or a more broad overview.
Setup - Set construction, lighting, that sort of thing
Editing - basic information on how to edit together a movie.
Compressing - Video compression
Submitting - how to submit a film to the directory, also other sites like YouTube, Vimeo, etc.
That's basically it as far as stuff we're completely lacking right now.
I made a guide on set building 
I made an inspiration tutorial

^Was that the tutorial?
If it was, it was definately NOT the greatest tutorial I have ever seen.
Smeagol, I might take a whack at a tutorial or two for you. Would a tutorial on cartoony animation be of any help at all? I could also try a script-writing tutorial; I've got loads of material for that.
Yeah both / either of those would be appreciated, Littlebrick.
