[Short Videos] A Collection of Video Project Ideas You Can Use at Culture Festivals and School Festivals (71–80)
Using a mascot costume
Why do animal costumes create such a soothing, heartwarming atmosphere? What’s more, it’s said that for the wearer, a costume can lower psychological barriers and make communication easier.
It really does feel like you can become a different version of yourself.
Costumes are relatively easy to get—you can rent them or buy them online.
Use them effectively to make your short videos more entertaining.
A recommended approach is to use “contrast” like in the video: by pairing the costume with something that seems least compatible with it, you can make the costume stand out even more.
Video of the chemistry club
You can make videos with knowledge alone—no need to put your body on the line! Let’s try creating opportunities to spark interest in science with visually striking experiments.
Be sure it’s clear that you’re taking maximum safety precautions and conducting everything with a teacher present and the utmost care.
Class project video for the school festival: a parody film of the anime “Your Name.”
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.
Video utilizing a VTuber avatar
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!

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!
