Kids love YouTube, but video is currently very one-dimensional - play, rewind, fast-forward. In contrast, the Facebook "timeline" is actually a multimedia narrative, weaving in conversations, status updates, links to friends and so on. Your task is to make a non-linear version of YouTube, in which videos can be mixed with each other, and with text and drawings, allowing each user to create their own narrative storyline. The architecture to support arbitrary non-linear combinations of different media will be a technical challenge. You could model it on the SuperCollider system for sound and music synthesis, which constructs a graph of unit generators passing data streams between them, to allow filters, blends and graphic overlays. Start with a locally-hosted version, and think about a cloud service version (probably with lots of local media caching) as an extension. | Kids love YouTube, but video is currently very one-dimensional - play, rewind, fast-forward.

My suggestion:
Non-linear Video Synthesis
Digital video-editing suites such as Adobe Premiere and Apple iMovie are stuck in a 20th century linear film model: a sequence of clips is joined end-to-end, possibly with overlap transitions. However in today's films, live action and digital graphics are far more integrated, often with animated characters and blue screen footage composed onto a live video scene overlaid with simulated weather. We already have tools for digital music production that blend many overlapping tracks, some live and some synthesised, with many concurrent filters and effects. Your task is to build a system for creating non-linear combinations of video source material, animations and filters. You should model it on the SuperCollider system for sound and music synthesis, which constructs a graph of unit generators passing data streams between them.
Another alternative:
YouTube meets Facebook
Kids love YouTube, but video is currently very one-dimensional - play, rewind, fast-forward. In contrast, the Facebook "timeline" is actually a multimedia narrative, weaving in conversations, status updates, links to friends and so on. Your task is to make a non-linear version of YouTube, in which videos can be mixed with each other, and with text and drawings, allowing each user to create their own narrative storyline. The architecture to support arbitrary non-linear combinations of different media will be a technical challenge.
