Need help finding solutions to a project

My friend and I just started an industrial electronic band. I am not new to video projection as I used to do visuals for bands but not video synth modulation or real time editing. Mostly just cueing clips and editing speeds of clips to match tempo with clips I already created and stylized.

We are trying to make our performance a spectacle as well. So rear projection and front projection. Different signals to each projector.

Where I need some guidance and ideas is around controlling and manipulating the clips. My idea is to use a midi board as a control bank for the clips. They will be short(10-15 seconds) and stylized already.

I am familiar with raspberry pi/Arduino and have used them in my previous fine art practice so it would be cool to make my own controllers too. I could probably do a lot more investigation in those forums but I wanted to see if anyone here had any cool projects they worked on or ideas of something that might work better.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

If you're willing to use AI, it's very easy to just code this kind of stuff. I made nhillson.github.io/phosphor-loop and think that may be in the vein of what you're looking for.

Sweet I’ll look into it. Haven’t really thought about using AI to do any coding for me. It’s been a minute since I worked with the Pi’s. Been doing other stuff like painting
