0:00Kid Cudi talking intro
A medium close-up shot features Kid Cudi, seated and looking directly into the camera with an engaging expression. The background presents a contemporary studio environment, with a smooth, light grey wall occupying the left side of the frame and a section of dark, vertically oriented sound-dampening panels on the right. These panels exhibit a subtle, warm, almost golden glow. The lighting is soft and frontal, illuminating Kid Cudi's face and creating gentle highlights without harsh shadows. The overall color scheme is cool and neutral, featuring greys and whites, accented by the warmer tones of the sound panels. White text overlays are present: 'Kid Cudi' and 'Author & Narrator' are positioned at the top left, while 'What's up?' appears at the bottom center. The white Audible logo, stylized with a wave graphic, is visible in the top right corner.
0:02Animated audiobook cover reveal
The scene transitions into a vibrant, animated sequence showcasing the audiobook cover art. Initially, a large, anthropomorphic, brown bean-shaped character with simple black dot eyes and a wide-open, white-toothed black mouth dominates the center of the frame, set against a bright light blue background. This character appears cheerful and animated. Scattered around the background are small, irregular geometric shapes in various primary and secondary colors like red, green, yellow, and blue, some of which subtly fade in and out. The Audible logo remains visible at the top right. White text, 'to hear my new audiobook,' then 'Cudi, The Memoir,' appears at the bottom of the screen. As the scene progresses, this animation is encased within a rounded square frame that smoothly zooms into the center of a dark, almost black background. Inside this frame, the bean-shaped character remains central, and the word 'CUDI' in large, bold blue letters with a yellow outline appears directly below it, followed by 'THE MEMOIR' in smaller white text. The phrase 'READ BY THE AUTHOR' also materializes in white text to the right side of the main title. The lighting is bright and even, accentuating the cartoonish aesthetic of the artwork. The overall color palette is energetic and playful, providing a stark contrast to the preceding live-action segment.

The scene returns to a medium close-up of Kid Cudi in the same studio setting as the introduction. He is centrally framed, maintaining direct eye contact with the camera. The background features a light grey wall on the left and a series of dark, vertical sound-dampening panels on the right, which now appear with a slightly warmer, possibly brown or amber, tint, suggesting a subtle shift in lighting or color grading. Soft, direct frontal lighting gently illuminates his face, highlighting his features. The Audible logo continues to be displayed in the top right corner of the frame. White text overlays appear sequentially at the bottom of the screen: 'Hear my story directly from me.' followed by 'I'm in the room talking to you.' The atmosphere is intimate and personal, inviting the viewer into a direct conversation. The color palette remains consistent with the first scene, dominated by cool greys and whites, complemented by the warm accents from the sound panels.
0:10Audible logo reveal
The scene commences with a dynamic visual transition on a deep, dark background. Abstract, glowing streaks of orange and yellow light appear from the bottom of the frame, arcing upwards and across, creating a sense of motion and energy before dissipating. These luminous streaks serve as the primary light source during this brief animation. Subsequently, the text 'LISTEN ON' in a clean, white sans-serif font emerges, positioned above the main brand logo. The 'audible' logo, also in white sans-serif typography, then appears centrally, accompanied by its distinct yellow, stylized wave graphic positioned to the right of the word. The background gradually stabilizes into a solid, deep blue-black color, providing a strong contrast for the white and yellow branding. The overall aesthetic is sleek, modern, and professional, designed to prominently feature the Audible brand.
