We Made a Video for November 11 (Pocky Day) with MetAI Tools
November 11 is Pocky Day in Japan. With MetAI tools we made a 15-second vertical 3D animation: a test of how quickly a short social video can be ready for a special day.
Today, November 11, is “Pocky Day” in Japan. The row of 1s in the date looks like thin stick-shaped snacks, which is why the day is so popular.
For the occasion, MetAI used its own MetAI tools to make a vertical (9:16), 15-second 3D animation.
How the video flows
- A single stick stands on a dark stage: “November 11 — what day is it today?”
- Sticks burst outward: “11.11 Pocky Day”
- On a pink background, a stick snaps: “Pokit!”
- Among flying sticks: “HAPPY Pocky Day!”
- Finally: “This video was made with MetAI tools”
It is in vertical format, ready to post on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
What we learned
Posts tied to special days and seasonal events get attention on social media, but they are often skipped because there is no time to prepare them.
By telling the AI what the flow and mood should be, you can go from the structure to the finished video in a short time. When something is not quite right, you simply ask for changes in words, so you do not need to master specialist software.
Of course, the final check is human. We always review text size and readability, colors and whether it fits the brand before publishing.
We also made a mini game
After the video, we also made a mini game, “Pokit! Challenge”: how many sticks can you snap by tapping them in 11.11 seconds? Golden sticks count as three, and a miss costs you 0.3 seconds. It works on phones and computers, with no sign-up, and there is a shared ranking.
Ways to use this
- Short social videos for special days and seasonal events
- Announcements of new products or shops
- Loop videos for trade shows and events
- Mini games for campaigns and events
