Well, a cut scene is to easy. All you have to do is do repetitive screen shots, or if you have a video program that records your activities on the screen you could always use that to make a movie. Then when you want to make a cut scene, create an event that calls that video to play.
Animations on the other hand are also very easy. Just go around the net, find characters, take their hair, clothes, etc. and mix-match them with other parts of characters.
