Need help or advice for a total noob.

Just started using Big Box after using Hyperspin and love the themes people have made here.  I have an idea for a theme but have no clue how to make one.  I've watched tutorials and they make no sense to me and very confusing.  The idea for the theme I want to make is when you scroll through the different consoles and systems you would see a different static image for each system as the background (uploaded a few examples) with a video playing in the box frame of the image.  I've tried many different things like putting the image in different places and looking at themes in Visual Studio and I'm completely baffled how to do it.  Hope this makes sense.

Most themes do this with a fullscreen video rather than a static image. For example the image below is a Platform video created by retrohumanoid for his Unified Refried theme.
