For the conversation I am going to have two "content not yet made" to be put on two different video sources (VHS,DVD+++) and then it will be talking by mixing and overlaying it by the control of the video feed.

Content can be

Two text conversation between two people
Two video conversation between two people (historical?)
Two video conversation between content like ads, movies (Star Wars - Star Trek / Computer Conical - Techzilla? )
VHS vs DVD battle, One feed is footage from a VHS player with Ads and the other showing ads of DVDs advertisements

Stumble on feeds and music, figure out what matches what?

Project UPDATE 27.05.15

I will make the mixer, but I can NOT seem to get a good idea on the content. Learned about video signals, and good intro to Audrino..

Big thanks to Joak for helping me out

Will still work on project, but still as a side project.
1. Finish making a video mixer
2. Make and record a video of a constant degrading VHS video with the over promising BUT catchy VHS ad
