well... either you can use adobe premier to compress the avi, or you can do it in 3ds after you've rendered it the first time.
Here's how you can do it in 3ds max after you've rendered it once. Pass this along to your sharp kid, if he's doing the whole thing in 3ds and doesn't have premiere, then he'll understand.
You start a new file and set the animation length to however many frames your whole animation is.
then, you go into Video Post, and add a File In event. You make that your old rendering AVI (uncompressed if it actually is uncompressed). Then you add a File Output event after that. Set the options so it saves to a compressed AVI format. Finally, make sure both of the events run for the entire animation. Then you just hit Execute Video post, have it run for the entire animation, and in minutes, you'll have a new, compressed AVI.
