Hi!  
Try to use `MeshBasicMaterial` instead of `MeshStandardMaterial`.

If you want to use a video as a data source for a texture, use the [VideoTexture](https://threejs.org/docs/index.html?q=videote#api/en/textures/VideoTexture) class. You don’t have to manage `needsUpdate` by yourself then and the texture upload is actually more optimized (since it is not required to upload the texture per frame).
