With a little ascii paint program hidden inside the movie screen in debug mode.  You can use the mouse to draw a character in a given color.  Then I just linked some sounds to certain frames (it's part of the movie format, but unused in the regular game currently).  The sounds were made with my electronic keyboard, sarod, and various cans and forks and things.

It's not something that's compiled into the release version.  And the interface is explicitly trashy and crash prone, since it was thrown together to get these movies up in time.  I can allow some movie editing features at some point though.  As soon as games stop dying at random...

Maybe you could work on the movie program and make it as a seperate exe?
