wolfling just did one too for her vid, "Exile" (http://wolfling.livejournal.com/232251.html). :)
"Prophecy" is still one of my most favorite Angel videos; there's so much going on there and it has great movement.
I've been having the same sort of not-knowing-my-source issues now that I'm delving into lots of different fandoms. My method changes depending on what type of vid I'm putting together, actually; I'm finding that the more I know what I need before I go back for a re-watch, the better I do on picking the right episodes. I end up re-watching a lot of the source, often on fast forward, though.
The other thing, and this is something I'm only just now starting to grasp, is that the first draft doesn't have to be a mostly-perfect draft. Sometimes it helps just to lay down clips so you know what you *don't* want, and then you can refine from there. But I still find that very difficult, so I should take my own advice first. Heh.
Good luck on getting started on your idea! :)
What kind of music do you like, btw? I could recommend some stuff, but I'm not sure what you're looking for.
