    About this script

    A grandparent discovers emoji and overuses one. twelve messages, iMessage style, about 34 seconds as a video, and Gramps kicks it off with "What is the small yellow face?".

    Pacing it beat by beat

    Messages one and two, "What is the small yellow face?" then "It is an emoji. It shows a feeling.", set the scene. Message 2 is the longest (8 words): "It is an emoji. It shows a feeling.". Give it room.

    The turn begins at message 10, "I am very confused and very happy.". Move quickly through "That is the perfect emoji reply.", then hold "😂" for two seconds. Two of twelve lines ask a question.

    Making the video

    Tips

    • Say "It is an emoji. It shows a feeling." out loud at normal speed and trim it if you stumble.
    • Keep Gramps's "😂" on screen for two seconds before the ending card.
    • Give Nina and Gramps fresh invented names; the wholesome story then belongs to you.
    • Publish the next wholesome episode soon; a gap of more than two days costs viewers.
    • Place "It is an emoji. It shows a feeling." on its own for a full second after the opener.
