Is there a way to do this and have the video invisible until the player activates it? I also want to make it the size of the room and have the player able to walk through it like a hologram....

So what you want to do is make a vgui_movie_display entity with the following properties:

Movie Filename: media/bluescreen.bik
Loop Movie:Yes
Stretch to Fill: Yes (Make sure based on your size it still looks nice)

Now change the height and width of the screen in the properties.

Next to trigger the movie on with a button, make the output:

Onpressed, screen name, enable.

To be on the safe side I would also add this output to the button as well:

Onpressed, !self, lock

Hope that helps you out!

yes, this helps quite a lot :3

I wish there were demonstration videos for all the test elements.
it would be a lot easier than making those custom signs and whatnot...

Will the video itself be invisible until i activate it?

I also, but you can't make tutorials for every single thing. You sometimes have to figure out by yourself.
