FLOW - fourth week : what's going on?

I wanted to do this time-flow project in real time with some interactive programs. Camera will be fixed and shooting an empty space where people can walk around. Then it will be projected in two way on the same screen with opacity downed - One will be in real time and the other's speed will be slowed down. Camera has to be fixed so when these two videos are piled up, they can look like one video. Slowed one's speed will become faster reacting to the sound. Viewers can make noise to see the past and present of time simultaneously. They will see what's happening and what happened. This was my first plan.

But using interactive programs(like max msp, isadora, or quartz composer) will be almost impossible. Computer has to capture and save video clips during unlimited time and also will have to run the interactive program to project it. All these processes has to be done at the same time FOR UNLIMITED TIME. This is what I heard. I don't have a super computer.

I can still use interactive programs but final output is not going to be real time installation. Have to decide what to shoot. And in this case, more layers(with different speed) will be better to see. Ideas still have to be developed......
