Do you guys draw storyboards?

No.

I'm working on an AMV right now, and I'm finding that the less I plan, and the less concretely I plan - the better. I don't tend to take notes in general; all my better videos came off with as little jotting-down and conscious planning as possible.

It is just about impossible for me to plan things, or at least to put things down on "paper." If I do any planning, it's all in me head. Otherwise, I pretty much just go with the flow of things

Some people do it, though mostly I've noticed this is only for videos that have either created their own story or are more of a "music video" style where they are more about style and theme than telling a story. Other than that I don't think most people do, I myself have never drawn one, I get teh video out in my head and the rest of it I find while sifting through the anime I chose.

Most of the time I have a good image about how it should be. The raw stuff. I think that it turned out good.

One of my friend first cuts all the good clips out of the episodes and than decide what he places where. I think it´s a good method, but you need patient first, because it takes time before you really start, but afterwards: It´s easy.

Now I sometimes place keyframes in Premiere (yeah of course everybody does in Premiere

) and double click them to write something into the comment section. It´s a good trick and I think I should keep doing it.

Sometimes I write down the style of effects I would like to use.

Nope most people actually do stuff on the fly

I don't draw storyboards but I tend to to make short notes about ideas I'm gonna use for future projects (since most of the time I have very clear ideas for 2-3 vids) so I won't forget the one I find really interesting even if it take few months.

I tried complete pre-planning before actual editing once, and then the amv changed completely during production, so the only thing I got from this was really detailed notes about all the instruments and all the changes in the music.

Nah, I just listen to the song a few times until I can get a general idea of what needs to be in what part of the song with the footage I'm using. Kinda get a rough sketch of it in my head.

Szwagier, don't tell me you didn't draw out the plans for Children's Draw Book, lol.
Man that video was weird : /
I plan very little. I mostly make shit up as it comes along. Kinda like "this song is cool" "I like this anime" "they could go together and i could make a AMV

" "STROBESTEOBESTROBEBADEFFECTSSTROBE" "Done : /"

I mostly try to keep ideas in my head, i'm not that organized so i stand a better chance of remembering it if i DON'T put it somewhere where i can lose it.
AKA: anywhere
