BUMPITY-BUMPER CARS!!!
I make the opening sequence, then animate, fill in spaces to be filled with a title that says "to be filled", then animate some more, fill in the empty spaces, then add finishing touches.
I do things both ways. For me, it really depends on the length of the film, whether i'll need to use special FX or not, etc.
I do it ether way. Usually I wait until I have a good amount of clips and then just quickly string them together so I have a quick idea of how the film will look.
I normally film everything first and then edit.
I find it easier, though sometimes I will edit a scene just to see how everything is coming out...but that's usually only on big projects (like Doorway to Emotion).
I edit everything possibele while filming except for voices, which i record after i finish filming. 
I find that the best way to edit and animate is to animate a scene, take the images and edit them into a fullspeed clip, and have a look at what it looks like. However, I won't actually do the final editing (sounds/music/greenscreening/CGI/imagebalancing/etc.) until I've got all or most of the animation done. So I can watch it progress and make sure everything is fitting correctly, but don't have to put all the time required for final editing in until I've finished animating everything.
I edit after I animate, but the reality is that I never thought of editing while animating. I'm going to try that and see which one works best for me. Sometimes it seems like a lot of work when I edit, if I do that while animating, it might seem that there's less work (it's obviously the same).

It does make it easier, you get a good idea of what you have, before you completely stop animating.
I take pictures, put them together to a video using MonkeyJam or such software. Add special effects if needed with Particle Illusions 3 and then I finally start to montage/edit my video.
