Heh. I started out with completely detailed outlines, as in how many seconds a musical phrase or a lyrical sequence lasts and a description of the clip and which ep it's from. As I make more vids, though, I've totally gotten away from that. The last two I've made, which I think are my best, there was no real planning at all -- I'd simply play the song, just listening to it, and the images came. The strongest ones got put in right away, others I had to think about a little more, but I already knew in my head where the vid was going and what I wanted to show.
Kinda backwards from your experience. :)
Vidding is a creative endeavor, though, and for me creativity is too organic a thing for a strict outline, which is one of the things I've learned this year (I only started vidding this January, so I'm a newbie, too). I probably should have taken a cue from the way I write, which is that I have a general idea of where I want to go, but then I just sit down at the keyboard, take a deep breath, close my eyes, and let the words flow.
