Create a video in which you play two different characters. In at least one image, both characters should appear in the video at the same time.
Many video productions use a single actor to play more than one role. In the old days, think Patty Duke. Eddie Murphey has some some hilarious scenes in which he plays multiple roles. In these movies, he actually argues with the other characters that he plays. There are many ways to create these effects. Seek out some alternatives. Some are easier than others.

Take two period peices (can be movies or TV shows), ideally that tell very different stories, and bring them together so that they tell a new combined story. I recommend starting with longer clips, then alternating with faster ones to create drama.

Six word stories, six word quotes, and six word poetry are all the rage. So why not six second art? Using any method of video, stop motion, or other visual medium, produce a six second video of you creating art. It could be digital art, physical art, or performance art, just create a six second video of you making it happen! Vine, Youtube, Vimeo, are all great places to host, although Vine happens to a great natural place for this type of work.

Create your own Western themed Movie Trailer in 30 seconds or less with a whiteboard and dry erase marker! (Whiteboard $3 at Walmart and Dry Erase marker $2). You do this by recording yourself drawing pictures on your whiteboard, erasing them, then drawing more images to create a video. You end up editing the video by speeding it up and using a “voice over” of yourself to explain what’s going on in your shots.

1. Plan your drawing. Try to sketch it out a bit or plan before in your head.

2. Get everything set up, put your whiteboard on a table and hold your camera from a higher platform facing down as it records your whiteboard drawings.

3. Turn on the camera and start drawing! You don’t have to worry about drawing fast because you’ll edit the video later.

4. After you’re finished drawing, turn off the camera and import the video into your software of preference. Such as iMovie, or any software.

5. Use your video editing software to flip the video (if needed), crop out the edges of the whiteboard, increase the speed of the video, such as a speed of 8x, and add a recording of your voice over the finished product.

Create a compilation of the most important scenes or events from a movie. Essentially, combine the major plot points into a short video.
