Video Texture on a complex surface

Question

If there is a noob forum I can post to in the future, please let me know, I am just learning Blender. I was hoping to play a video clip on a surface other than a flat plane (for example a sphere or the face of an extruded text. Can you point me to an resource for doing this? Thanks.

what solution are you talking about: your 3D object will be a 3D tv screen? or it will receive the light of a projector? — moonboots, Jul 26 '18 at 07:07

I was a noob last year, so don't worry about it. We are all learning here. Here is how I achieve a light projection effect in Cycles. I use a spot light with the following settings. Hope it helps.
