Ideas for stage events and attractions that will liven up a school festival

Independent film screening

School Festival Takigawa High School: Haru, Come to Me (Youth, Come)

Live performances like plays and musicals are of course great, but how about making a film for the school festival? Since you can prepare it in advance, there’s less pressure, right? If you choose school as the theme, I think people will enjoy it even more.

Baka-Cool Everyday 2014 - Cultural Festival Project -

Introducing ideas for “Baka-kakkoii,” those cool moments in everyday life that went viral on social media around 2014! “Baka-kakkoii” refers to works that make ordinary, familiar scenes look stylish.

For example, tossing trash into a bin from a distance, or throwing a hanger no-look and having it hook onto a rack—capture these baka-kakkoii moments on video without using CGI or post-production tricks.

Of course, it’s unlikely you’ll nail it on the first try, so keep challenging yourself and make sure to record that cool moment when it finally happens.

Robot Contest

Intro Video for the Robot Contest for the Technically Unskilled (aka Hebocon) [18th Japan Media Arts Festival, Entertainment Division, Jury Selection]

A robot contest is where you use robots you’ve developed to compete in various events.

It can be difficult because it requires a fairly high level of technical skill.

In that case, like in the video, I think you could get some laughs by holding a robot contest limited to people with lower technical skills.

Let’s create an epic masterpiece that will become a lifelong memory! Here are some ideas for “Lifelong Friends.” Many of you probably have a strong desire to get serious about making videos.

Not only will it remain memorable as a finished piece, but the time you spent dedicating yourselves to video production with your cherished friends—time that is truly valuable—will also stay in your heart, without a doubt.

Give it a try!

GANTZ parody

High School Students’ Funny Culture Festival – Movie “Relatable Moments” GANTZ Parody: X-Gun

Let’s try filming in familiar locations! Here are some ideas for a parody of GANTZ.

Parody videos of well-known works might be more likely to get reactions from students and teachers, right? This time, let’s take on the challenge of creating a parody video of GANTZ, a work beloved in manga, anime, and film.

Although the work in the video may differ from the actual GANTZ in terms of its setting and story, it’s also great to create something that incorporates fun elements and is filmed in familiar places.

Our Culture Festival War

Our Culture Festival War

For those struggling with class project ideas! Here are some suggestions for our Culture Festival War.

Are you unsure what to showcase for your class project? One great recommendation is to make a short film.

From writing the script to filming and editing, it can be a valuable time to work together while thinking through each step yourselves.

For classmates who feel shy about performing on stage in front of an audience—whether it’s dance or a skit—a short film that can be recorded in advance might be perfect.

Definitely consider giving it a try!

stop-motion animation

Let’s entertain with edits like those in anime and games! Here are some stop-motion animation ideas.

Stop-motion, also known as a stop-motion video, refers to a technique where you create a video by photographing the movement of people or objects one frame at a time.

How about making an animation using stop-motion techniques this time? The work featured in the video reportedly reached over 1,000 total shots.

Try incorporating these ideas while adapting them to your animation’s length and structure.
