the translation of the characteristics, the wibbly wobbly fiddle for example, into visual effects beyond basic clip choices, characters, or action Same! I realised I do do this kind of visualisation but I nearly always then translate it to clip choices or character meta. Never effects. The only exception I can think of is when I use effects from the source--visualisation has sometimes led me to think of specific effects from the source--but that's still kind of a clip really.
However, even if I don't naturally think of effects (yet?) this conversation is making me realise that visualisation is valuable creative work that I should never underestimate in the process. That's a good thing for someone like me to learn because I didn't have any creative aspect to my life before vidding and things like visualisation still sit kind of awkwardly with me (like I can feel sheepish or guilty about spending time doing them--which is silly really).
