I make mine with pencils and paper. Sometimes a pen if I feel like it (and from here out with a wacom intuos4 tablet). Oh yes, and lots of coffee. But I would agree with the "start to end" method...figure those out, and then figure out any "impact" kinds of areas inbetween, for example if I know I reeealy want to have x happen to y part of song, I put that down and then see how that fits in relating to the start or ending, then I just fill in the blanks.

I don't really, although I will occasionally throw down notes. Otherwise my storyboards are actually betas - since I don't do any compositing/original art, there's really no way for me to know how something is going to look until I get the footage on screen. So usually the very first thing I do is, in a space of just a few hours, make a really rough pre-beta - lazy timing, no filters/effects, some very tentative scene choices - but just something where I can see the actual footage to the actual song.

Doesn't take much longer than drawing/writing out storyboards and if you're not doing original art or heavy external effect work, much more practical imho. I think the term 'storyboarding' is really kind of a misnomer for AMV planning; the only case where real actual storyboarding is useful or even just applicable in AMVs is when people are making a lot of the drawing/animation for the videos themselves.

Misnomer indeed. Kinda like how we call it a "beta" ...I always used "critique" before I joined the org...and I always associated "beta" with software. Or fish.

The storyboarding depends on what part of the AMV you don't know yet.

if you have a song in mind, then working to show the song is quite easy.

However .. there are times when you need a story-board or you'll loose focus
on the "concept" your trying to express .. point noted back in 2003 when we
were trying to get people to "pay attention" to what they were creating:



.. sometimes only you understand what your trying to accomplish; and that's wrong!

When I edited AMVs... never used Storyboard, because the idea tapeworm in my head, but now I'm editing a short film and if I had the need to use a Storyboard, it's different when you create the material (scenes) and putting your ideas in a more direct!
