Rev Leads x Doodle (Video Strategy and Character Arcs)
1. Filming & Content Capture
Multi-Camera Setup:
One main camera for group shots.
GoPros on each vehicle/bike during rides.
Optional helmet cams.
Static talking-head shots with one person holding camera.
One shared vlogging camera between the three for simplicity and editing efficiency.
Daily footage collection encouraged, even if on phones.
Ride Planning (for B-Roll/Content):
Early start rides (6–7 am) from pickup → Blooming Cycle → Jevil’s Triangle.
Potential overnight stay due to day-trip timing.
Thursday reserved as buffer day for remaining clips, talking heads, and content completion.
Friday: Flight back.
2. Reacting to Old Videos (Content Bucket)
Video Concept:
Reacting to old content, highlighting growth and professional development.
Mix of old and some newer videos for context.
Target: ~6 videos per session; can expand as backup (rapid-fire style could fit 10–12).
Emphasize reactions first; avoid viewers dropping off by starting with clip itself.
Style & Tone:
High-energy, comedic reactions.
Emotional angle: show personal growth/professional improvement.
Authority element: “trained editors” react to home mods or motorcycle content.
Post-Production Notes:
Green screen optional; adds complexity (lighting, extra work).
Simple box layout (clean background, person in corner) is sufficient.
Clips can be edited into shorts easily for repurposing content.
3. Biker Content & “Controversial Opinions”
Video Ideas:
Titles like “What nobody tells you about biker chicks” (broad audience).
Thumbnail concepts: clean, high-impact visuals; avoid over-sexualization.
Include humorous/self-aware elements (e.g., “fake rider” jokes, female Slingshot owners).
Community/Interactive Angle:
Potential mini-series: “We started our own motorcycle gang” → recruitment, staged fun, payoff (community ride).
Future collaborations possible (e.g., Austin shoot with Whitney & Maria).
4. Bikes & Character Development
Character-Bike Alignment:
Whitney: Harley Chopper (aggressive, visually appealing).
Carolyn: Honda Gold Wing (unique, high visual impact, comfortable for long rides).
Maria: Cruiser (Indian Darkhorse, Scout Bobber, or KTM for comfort/practicality).
Strategic Notes:
Mix cruiser/adventure bikes carefully for visual variety.
CPM considerations: Indian/KTM may attract international audience (India).
Avoid “non-motorcycles” like Slingshot/Vanderhal for YouTube audience engagement.
Logistics:
Bikes booked individually; profiles shared for pickup.
Delivery option considered.
5. Key Takeaways for YouTube Strategy
Content Buckets:
React videos = low-lift, high repurpose potential (shorts + full episodes).
“Controversial opinions / biker chicks” = broad, top-of-funnel audience growth.
Real-life challenges/rides = authentic, shareable content.
Thumbnail & Title Strategy:
Clickable but not over-sexualized.
Humor & relatability = key.
Use character personas to drive engagement.
Production Efficiency:
Limit green screen use to reduce workload.
Multi-cam setup improves b-roll and dynamic content.
Daily content collection ensures consistent footage availability.
Audience Growth Tips:
Mix evergreen reaction content + topical/viral “biker lifestyle” content.
Incorporate international appeal via bike choice (CPM strategy).
Repurpose long-form content into shorts for multiple touchpoints.
