Film Chat was built as a digital prop for a feature film. An actor can use it just like a real group chat while the crew sends messages as other users from a separate interface.
At first, the crew interface ran the basics, from users and their online statuses to typing indicators and whether the actor’s screen showed direct messages or a video chat.
After the first day on set, the crew needed a way to reshoot scenes without retyping the script by hand each time. I added a template system that lets the crew save messages alongside typing indicator delays. I also added a way to edit and reorder messages after they’d been sent.
