Man, Ann is a idea machine! I like B, it reminds me of some song I've heard before but haven't quite nailed down. The style of both songs definitely fits the Fiction Cartel. Everyone needs fedoras now.

I think Ann is...magical.

She'll nervously laugh, mayyyybe roll her eyes, but it's true.

Talent. Talent. Talent.

That's why I love spending time talking with her and Deleyna Marr (Lisa).

Brilliant writers. Breathtaking creators.

...and some of the smartest people I know.

I think you are magical!πŸ™Œ

Thank you.

I do hope so. At least on some days =)

Thanks, DW! Secret Agent Man is the song you might recognize. The drums are certainly in the same vein, but it also conjures episodes of Get Smart or any groovy show from the 60s. πŸ˜‰

Ooh! It might have been Get Smart.

And/or Secret Agent Man.

Very fun choice either way.

I like the first one, A, because it's upbeat and had my foot tapping. I turned it on, closed my eyes, and just let it play. My only issue, is that (both of them) seem too long. I get it, it eats up time and all that, but that's seems to be the hardest part with these things, isn't it? Maybe it's just me? The introduction to the videos we make -- even though we know they should be a certain length -- are just hard to nail. But, this works. I can't wait to see the animation you're going to add...or are you?

Appreciate the feedback, Ben.

I had to look at this from a certain perspective:

Was this a theme song or a podcast intro/outro?

...it's a theme song.

That means I can edit it, and allow it to drop off for videos IF we choose to do so, but if it was just an intro/outro , then I have nothing to work with if I wanted something longer.

I'll also say that it will depend on how the beginning of any video is being introduced.

Really like you pointing this out, Ben. Thank you. I agree...and no, it's not just you. I'm wondering some of this as well =)

Well, that’s because I have my readings and they have an intro, as well as an β€œoutro,” and every time I do a reading ask myself if the intro is too much? But making a new, different, one every time I put my story up, is too much for my addled brain to deal with. It’s easier to copy and paste and just use the same one.

Jaime Buckley πŸ’Ž's avatar

Yup.

...and you should have a theme/brand anyway, Ben.

You're on the right track.

The Fiction Cartel is a bit different of a beast.

B...by a small margin.

Jaime Buckley πŸ’Ž's avatar

That's like kinda pregnant...lol.

I like both, so I get how close it is...BUT THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE 😁

Well, you didn't give us C - All the above πŸ˜‹

Jaime Buckley πŸ’Ž's avatar

heh.

Rotating theme song I have not. Otherwise C would definitely be an option.

B. Definitely.
