tv light effect
I need to simulate a tv changing channels, and the light of the videos shown being projected onto a room and the people in it.
I have no idea how to imitate it well

Create a light and use the expression from this guide for the intensity of the light:

You will need to make a small modification to the expression. At the very end, instead of random(0,100), you might want to change that to random(30,100). Play around with it and see. This will effect how dark the light goes when it flickers. You may also want to tweak some of the other parameters to make it look more natural.

Modern televisions work much differently than the old CRTs we grew up with. The conventions of clicking remotes and snow between channels are still expected by most audiences but they are anachronisms. It is very easy to over-work this effect by adding way too much activity.
Even in the olden days, we found it was much more interesting and satisfying to play a videotape through a TV on the shooting set than it was to try to fake it.

One weird solution (to doing it on set) is use a TV simulator, which creates the flickering from a TV.
You can find one here at Smarthome, it’s only 32 bucks.
Good luck!
