Plan on getting a basic arduino board for learning, and an Arduino Leonardo for my art project

My goal is to make an art installation inside an arcade cabinet.

First I need to make an animated gif in Game Maker, that can be selected and layered over a marionette which is then manipulated via custom usb controller.

I'm using the Arduino Leonardo for the usb controller.

Not sure about what to use as the screen, maybe an old tv?

Any arduino related tips, suggestions, would be appreciated.

You might want to take a look at this shield(add-on boards) http://www.wayneandlayne.com/projects/video-game-shield/. The bare Arduino is not really a video out device unless you wanted to drive some small OLED graphic displays, 2x16 text character displays or LED matrices. You might also check into a motor control shield(adafruit has one) to control a lot of servos for the puppet manipuation. Good luck.
