Slack Channel Discussion - March 11-17, 2023
Nathan Eckenrode: Hey team! Let's kick off the pre-production brainstorming for Episode 55. @Sarah Lin, could you start us off with your thoughts on the narrative direction?
Sarah Lin: Thanks Nathan! I've been thinking we should focus on maintaining our established tone while introducing some fresh perspectives. The "Back to Chill" theme gives us room to explore both familiar and new territory.
Vincent Janssen: From a production standpoint, I'm thinking we could experiment with some subtle ambient elements to enhance the chill vibe. @L.R. Morgenstern, any specific sound design elements you'd like to incorporate?
L.R. Morgenstern: Actually yes! I've been working on some atmospheric transitions that could work really well here. Think gentle fade-ins with a hint of lo-fi texture.
Kathryn Lyonne: That could pair nicely with the art direction I'm envisioning. I'm thinking cool tones, maybe some abstract geometric patterns that evoke a sense of calm.
Sylvia Inkweaver: Love where this is going! For the copy, I can weave in some subtle references to our previous episodes while maintaining that relaxed vibe we're aiming for.
Nathan Eckenrode: Great ideas everyone! @Vincent, how long do you think you'll need for the mixing phase?
Vincent Janssen: With the ambient elements, I'd like to have at least two days for mixing to really nail those subtle transitions. @L.R. Morgenstern, can you have the main audio ready by Wednesday?
L.R. Morgenstern: Absolutely! I'll have the core tracks ready by Tuesday evening, giving you plenty of time to work your magic.
Sarah Lin: While they're handling the audio, @Kathryn Lyonne and @Sylvia Inkweaver, let's coordinate on the visual and written elements. We want everything to feel cohesive.
Kathryn Lyonne: Perfect! I'll share some concept sketches tomorrow morning. Sylvia, we can sync up after that to align the messaging.
Sylvia Inkweaver: Sounds good! I'll start drafting some copy options that complement both the audio and visual elements.
Nathan Eckenrode: Excellent collaboration, team! Let's reconvene tomorrow to review progress. Remember, we're aiming for that perfect blend of familiar comfort and subtle innovation.
