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.
Some pro composers like Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer compose that way,
improvise on a keyboard to a video until they find something they
like, then hand stuff off to their orchestrators.
I'd consider that the only way to compose for video. Reminds me of an
old organist I knew who'd made his living playing scores for silent
films in theaters.
