About this script
A new coffee machine arrives with 48 buttons and no instructions. twelve messages, iMessage style, about 33 seconds as a video, and Tess kicks it off with "Have you seen the new coffee machine?". Characters: Tess and Uzi, 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 4, reads "I pressed the star and it made soup." (8 words). Open on "Have you seen the new coffee machine?" before you reach it.
Finish with "Then it makes soup.", then "I am calling the manual.", then a long pause before "There is no manual. Only soup.". Questions: three. Everything here can be edited in the ChatsRat editor before you export.
Making the video
Press the button to load The New Coffee Machine in the editor with the iMessage look. Switch on typing dots, read marks and reactions when you build the scene; an online status are not offered for iMessage. A typing indicator before the final line sells the reveal.
On Free you get four messages, up to "I pressed the star and it made soup."; the remaining eight are on paid plans. Say it is fiction in the caption.
Part two hook
For Part 2: the machine learns your name. End on "There is no manual. Only soup." 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 "I pressed the star and it made soup." trips you up, shorten it.
- After "There is no manual. Only soup.", wait two seconds, then show the ending card.
- Rename Tess and Uzi to invented names of your own and it becomes your original version.
- Post Part 2 within two days so viewers of this workplace episode come back.
- Place "It has a screen." on its own for a full second after the opener.
