You'd almost have to compose in realtime...

There are people that do it. Not sure how Derek Mounce, the composer for those projects, works, but I know the music guy I work with in my full time work does this fairly often actually(Plays his music for video along with the video as he is composing it, the guy is freaking amazing to be honest). In both cases they go back and touch up, and fill out the arrangement,afterwards.

Personally I just do SFX and record/mix other people:)
