About this script
Napoleon meets a microwave for the first time and refuses to retreat. twelve messages, iMessage style, about 38 seconds as a video, and Napoleon kicks it off with "Josephine, there is a glowing box in the kitchen.". Characters: Napoleon and Josephine, all invented. Only two people speak, which suits any plan. iMessage is one of the looks open to everyone on the Free plan.
Pacing it beat by beat
The longest bubble, message 1, reads "Josephine, there is a glowing box in the kitchen." (9 words). Open on "Josephine, there is a glowing box in the kitchen." before you reach it.
Finish with "The one that says 'Start'.", then "I accept this challenge.", then a long pause before "The soup is hot.". Questions: one. Everything here can be edited in the ChatsRat editor before you export.
Making the video
Press the button to load Napoleon Versus The Microwave in the editor with the iMessage look. Extras in this look: typing dots, read marks and reactions; missing: an online status. A typing indicator before the final line sells the reveal.
On Free you get four messages, up to "It reheats soup."; the remaining eight are on paid plans. Say it is fiction in the caption. You can change any line or name once the sample is open in the editor.
Part two hook
For Part 2: Napoleon invades the toaster. End on "The soup is hot." and tell viewers in the caption that the story continues; a small hint in the comments keeps them waiting.
Tips
- Read the script aloud once; if "Josephine, there is a glowing box in the kitchen." trips you up, shorten it.
- After "The soup is hot.", wait two seconds, then show the ending card.
- Rename Napoleon and Josephine to invented names of your own and it becomes your original version.
- Post Part 2 within two days so viewers of this historical humor episode come back.
- Place "It is a microwave." on its own for a full second after the opener.
