What is the fruit drama trend, and how do you make one?

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Fruit drama videos give fruit and vegetables faces and a soap opera plot, such as two lemons breaking up. They work because everyone understands the emotion at a glance. In Rift, tell Spark the plot, add a photo of real fruit if you want, check the Draft and tap Make for a silent scene of up to 15 seconds.

Give Spark the plot, such as two lemons breaking up, and a photo of real fruit if you like. Rift makes the scene as one short, silent shot.

Questions people ask

Is the trend only about fruit?

No. Vegetables, snacks, kitchen tools and toys all work. The format is small objects with big feelings.

Do I need a photo of the fruit?

No. Spark can plan from your words. A photo of your own fruit makes it more personal.

Can the fruit talk?

Rift makes silent videos. Add text or your own sound when you post.

Can I add a title to the drama?

Titles over video aren't in the app yet. Add one in your posting app.

Can I reuse a scene with different fruit?

Yes. Save the Draft as a format and run it again with a new photo.
