Version 1 (My Recommended Intro) 0.0–0.5 seconds Dark navy background. Subtle texture. Soft light emerges. 0.5–1.0 seconds MG logo fades in. Small gold outline.

Cut immediately to your face speaking. Why This Works It communicates: professionalism thoughtfulness consistency without feeling: corporate influencer-ish overly produced What I Think Would Look Incredible Imagine: Deep navy background. Very subtle moving fog. Gold MG crest. Slow cinematic glow. The same serif typography from your carousel. No music initially. Then your voice begins: "Most people spend their lives trying to discover themselves..." That would feel remarkably cohesive. For the Outro MG Logo appears.
