🎥 Filming Tips (For Your Team)

💡 Lighting

Natural light is your friend — film near windows or during daylight. If filming at night, use bright overhead lights to avoid shadows.

📐 Camera Angles

  • Side angle for glaze dips (captures the drip)
  • Overhead for topping stations (shows variety)
  • Close-up for bites (ASMR appeal)

🔊 Audio

Film in quiet space if you want natural sounds (glaze drips, crunches). Or use TikTok's trending audio library (I'll flag trending sounds weekly).

⏱️ Duration

Aim for 10-25 seconds per clip. TikTok favors shorter, punchy content.

📱 Quality

Smartphone camera is fine — just clean the lens! Hold steady or use a simple tripod.

  3. Behind-the-Scenes (humanizes your brand)
  4. Customer Reactions (social proof)
  5. Seasonal/Limited Flavors (creates urgency)
  6. Staff Highlights (builds community)

Amplification Tactics:

  • ✅ Cross-post to Instagram Reels (same content, 20-30% extra reach)
  • ✅ Pin best performers to profile top
  • ✅ Duet/Stitch trending donut content with your spin
  • ✅ Collaborate with local influencers (10K-50K followers = sweet spot)
  • ✅ Run TikTok challenges (#FracturedPruneChallenge for best combo)

Metrics to Track (Weekly):

✅ Next Steps

  1. Review this plan — any questions or tweaks?
  2. Set up TikTok Business Account (if not done already)
    • Link Instagram for cross-posting
    • Enable TikTok Analytics
  3. Film Week 1 content — I recommend batching 2-3 videos in one session
  4. Schedule posts — use TikTok's native scheduler or Later/Buffer
  5. I'll monitor & adjust — after Week 1, we'll review what hit and refine

🍩 Final Thought

Duck Donuts has 1.2M TikTok followers and videos hitting 12M+ views.

You have better visuals (fresh, made-to-order, 50 years of Ocean City heritage, 5 locations, authentic boardwalk charm).

We just need to show up consistently and let the product speak.

This isn't about going viral overnight. It's about building a content library that works 24/7 to drive foot traffic during your season.

Every video is a mini-commercial running on autopilot.

Let's crush it. 🍩🔥
