This is a video work parodying scenes from the animated film Your Name that was screened at the school festival.

Since it’s from the Electrical Engineering class, the students are all boys, and the role of the heroine, Mitsuha Miyamizu, is also played by a male student.

The piece shows careful attention to elements like framing and composition.

A VTuber is someone who streams on YouTube using a virtual character—like a 2D or 3D avatar.

How about creating a short movie using a VTuber for your school’s cultural festival or school fair? It’s also great as a promo video for your class’s exhibit, so give it a try! Even beginners can easily make videos if they have dedicated software.

From choosing a character, setting up the avatar’s movements and expressions, to configuring the voice—if you’ve used a computer before, the barrier to entry isn’t high.

Go ahead and create a movie full of originality!

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!

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.

CG technology lets you create robots, imaginary creatures, and scenes no one has ever seen.

With the right ideas, the possibilities are endless—go ahead and build exactly what you want to make and see! If you search online, you’ll find plenty of free 3D CG software, so choose the one that fits your goals and give it a try.

Don’t aim for a feature-length piece right away; start with a short clip.

Who knows—this could become a path to working in film production in the future.

High School Dungeon

How about creating a video in the style of a popular rap battle show? While the real thrill of freestyle rap is weaving words on the spot to go on the offensive, adding elements like pre-battle interviews—like in that show—can help give the project a cohesive feel as a single video work.

With pro leagues and the rise of live streaming platforms, we’re in an era where playing games can be a job.

So, especially if you’re in an esports-related club, why not compile a highlight reel of your best plays? It feels great when you chain eliminations or nail a tough technique perfectly.

Share that excitement with your viewers so they’ll think, “Wow, gaming is this fun.” And if you play on PC, recording is easy, so it’s a breeze to get started.
