About this script
A single compliment travels through a group chat and changes everyone's day. twelve messages, Instagram DM style, about 38 seconds as a video, and Lux kicks it off with "Your haircut looks great today.". The cast is Lux, Bo and Ria, all invented. That is three people, so a paid plan is needed to show everyone. No upgrade is needed to try Instagram DM.
Pacing it beat by beat
Start slow with "Your haircut looks great today." and "Thank you. Ria, I like your scarf.". The longest line is message 6, "I do. And Lux, your laugh is the best.", at 9 words, so it needs extra screen time.
Speed up at message 10 ("Agreed."), keep "Next Friday we bring snacks." short on screen, and let "And more compliments." sit. There are no questions in the script.
Making the video
Open The Kindness Chain in the editor and the Instagram DM look is already chosen. Available here: typing dots, read marks, reactions and an online status. Typing dots ahead of the final message make it feel live.
Four messages load on a Free account (the last is "Aww. Bo, you always help me."), eight more on a paid one. Add a fiction label to the caption.
Part two hook
Next episode: the chain reaches the quietest member of the group. Close this one on "And more compliments.", write Part 2 in the caption, and answer the first comment with a hint, not the answer.
Tips
- Time yourself reading "I do. And Lux, your laugh is the best."; cut words until it sits easily.
- Let "And more compliments." hang for a beat longer than the other bubbles.
- Swap Lux and Bo for new invented names to make a version that is yours.
- Aim to release Part 2 within a day or two of this one.
- Place "Thank you. Ria, I like your scarf." on its own for a full second after the opener.
