About this script
Colleagues stage a "union" for the office plants. twelve messages, Slack style, about 35 seconds as a video, and Hattie kicks it off with "Notice: the plants have formed a union.". The cast is Hattie, Ivor and Jem, all invented. That is three people, so a paid plan is needed to show everyone. This look starts at the Standard plan, which is worth knowing before you plan a batch of stories.
Pacing it beat by beat
Start slow with "Notice: the plants have formed a union." and "Who is the rep?". The longest line is message 1, "Notice: the plants have formed a union.", at 7 words, so it needs extra screen time.
Speed up at message 10 ("And a speech."), keep "The speech is very short." short on screen, and let "'More sun.'" sit. One lines in the script are questions.
Making the video
Open The Office Plant Union in the editor and the Slack look is already chosen. Extras in this look: typing dots, reactions and an online status; missing: read marks. Typing dots ahead of the final message make it feel live.
Four messages load on a Free account (the last is "Demands: more sun, less coffee."), eight more on a paid one. Add a fiction label to the caption.
Part two hook
Next episode: the plants demand a window seat. Close this one on "'More sun.'", write Part 2 in the caption, and answer the first comment with a hint, not the answer.
Tips
- Time yourself reading "Notice: the plants have formed a union."; cut words until it sits easily.
- Let "'More sun.'" hang for a beat longer than the other bubbles.
- Swap Hattie and Ivor 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 "Who is the rep?" on its own for a full second after the opener.
