I admit to be being pretty old school... watch and analyze the video clip, work out timings, create a spreadsheet for the cues, and then set the timing marks into the DAW and start composing against the timings. It works well if you need 'hits' against certain actions onscreen (especially for animation, which is mostly what I do), but can be mechanical if you are too strict with the timings or have too many hits. John Williams is even older school... he sits at a piano with pencil and paper and composes just using the timing sheet. And then there was Carl Stalling, who wouldn't even wait for the final edits of the cartoons he wrote for. He'd just compose against the x-sheets the animators used, the timings worked out by the director were so precise and detailed. -- Brett W.
