0:00Kid Cudi intro
A medium close-up shot frames Kid Cudi from the chest up, positioned slightly to the right of the screen's center, looking directly at the camera with a slight smile. The background is a minimalist, dark grey wall, with vertical black acoustic paneling visible on the right side, suggesting a modern studio environment. Soft, even lighting illuminates his face from the front, creating subtle highlights on his skin. He is actively speaking, with slight head movements and a confident, friendly demeanor. The overall color palette is subdued, dominated by the grey background and the white of his shirt, punctuated by his warm skin tone. On the top left, white text reads "Kid Cudi" and "Author & Narrator." The "audible" logo is discreetly placed in the top right corner. During this segment, the text "What's up?" appears briefly below his chin.

The scene opens with a brightly animated illustration set against a light blue background, featuring a brown, bean-shaped character with simple black eyes and a wide, open white mouth. Various colorful, geometric shapes—primarily red, green, and orange triangles—float around this central character, adding a playful, abstract quality. Gradually, the light blue background transitions to a dark, almost black, screen. The illustration shrinks and becomes encased within a rounded square icon, which centers itself on the dark background. As it shrinks, text appears below the icon: "CUDI" in large, bold blue bubble letters, followed by "THE MEMOIR" in smaller white text. On the right side of the icon, "READ BY THE AUTHOR" is written vertically in small white text. The "audible" logo remains visible in the top right corner throughout this transition. The floating geometric shapes are still visible within the smaller icon, maintaining the vibrant, whimsical aesthetic.

The shot returns to a medium close-up of Kid Cudi, mirroring the initial framing. He is positioned slightly off-center to the right, maintaining direct eye contact with the camera. The background is consistent: a dark grey wall with vertical black acoustic panels on the right. Soft, key lighting from the front highlights his features. He continues to speak, his expression thoughtful and earnest, occasionally nodding slightly. The color palette remains muted, focusing on the dark greys and the contrast of his white t-shirt. The "audible" logo is consistently placed in the top right corner. White text overlays appear sequentially: first, "Hear my story directly from me.", followed by "I'm in the room talking to you.", both fading in and out.
0:10Audible call to action
The scene transitions to a dark, almost black screen, bathed in a subtle, ambient glow of warm orange light. This glow emanates from the top and bottom edges of the frame, curving inward to create a dynamic, soft aura in the center. At the heart of the screen, the phrase "LISTEN ON" is displayed in white, sans-serif text. Below this, the prominent "audible" logo appears, featuring its distinctive white text and orange-and-black waveform icon. The overall atmosphere is sophisticated and inviting, with the dark background contrasting with the vibrant orange light and white text. There are no other graphics or moving elements, keeping the focus entirely on the brand and the call to action.
