TV Break
Here's an impressive (and lengthy) medley of TV themes, 22 in all, from FreddeGredde. It shows you what you can do with enough talent and a lot of time on your hands.

Pretty impressive...
...and I'm not even talking about the musical talent, but the execution of the split-screen concept.
This is harder to pull off than it looks.
If you peer closely, you can see a very faint vertical line down the middle of the screen where the split is made. Making this line nearly invisible, as it is here, is difficult in and of itself in a home studio environment. You wouldn't think so - you just set up a locked-down camera and film it twice, right? Right... except things change over time, even in the short term, and especially lighting.
Then there's the sync. Very difficult. It's probably why there are a couple "cut aways" (such as the close up of the guitar being strummed) to make corrections when things start to drift. And even though you can dilate or contract tempo in a video editing program, this can produce pitch problems.
Anyways, this is all a long way of saying this guy probably did some hard prep work and ended up with a nice result.
Maybe he should go for a Quartet next time!
Wouldn't you be singing and playing along in the second filming?
Anonymous #2: Depends on how you've decided to record/shoot the whole thing.
If you are going to be "singing and playing along in the second filming", you'll have a problem with the audible playback of the first filming interfereing with the sound recording of the second ("live") filming.
Another option would be to record/mix all the music first, then merely lip synch the video, but this doesn't look like what he did.
Other ideas?
A2, here. I wondered about that, too, but an earbud would solve that problem. I suppose people who are skilled enough can separate the voice from the music into a different track, which would be kind of fun--just your voice that you're playing and singing with.
