Just to clarify, you are talking about a regular 2D video you want upload to Youtube, Pornhub or whatever, right? In the context of VaM you could also mean something you can watch within VaM, kind of like a VR "you are with the actors in the room" thing or even "you are one of the actors". Somewhat more game-like roleplay is also possible. Think of branching dialogs, so you choose the voice lines for one of the characters, which may have influence on the outcome. In the end its all about how much time you want to spend on it.

For a regular 2D movie I would go with a regular movie making approach. You plan your movie as a series of "scenes", you build and record each, and then assemble everything with some nice transition fades (or whatever) using your favorite video editor. If you don't have access to professional software, the free version of Davinci Resolve is a good choice for video editing.

For each of the scenes, you have to figure out which skills you need to learn. A lot will simply be "trail and error" and experimenting till you get the results you want:

1. How to place and animate characters in VaM. There are plenty of tutorials to be found here on the Hub. Most likely you will use Timeline plugin, potentially aided by other plugins. Don't forget the little idle movements, breathing (with sound!) and eye movement, which are essential to get a to character appear alive instead of being a dead pupet.
2. How to AI-generate (or record) voice lines for your characters and how to play them in VaM at the right moments. Also how to get things like lip-sync, etc.
3. How to properly capture video from VaM. There is a two-part tutorial recording video among my list of other tutorials here: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/macgrubers-video-tutorials.7313/
4. How to assemble your recorded video snipets into a movie.
5. How to balance your audio to the right volume level....some recommendations from Google:
   • Dialogue: -6db to -15db(Nb. Most YouTuberstend to stick at -12db max)
   • Overall mix Level: -12db to -20db
   • Music: -18db to -20db
   • Sound Effects: -14db to -20db.
