Video of test result

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
  • Scotch Video Tape Advert - Re Record Not Fade Away

VideoGrinderAudrino.JPG Trying out control things with a Audrino..

Things are not working as expected, signal only work as ON/OFF, a dimmer don't work.

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

Making of the mixer

Parts

Layout

Where to go with it

  • Bigger mixer
  • Multiple Channels
  • Different feeds
  • Different sound feeds
  • Maybe use live video feeds?
  • Stumble on feeds and music, figure out what matches what?
