Music for the title screen

Finding the right music for the title screen.
First I try finding car chase like score. However after much searching I feel the music will to match with the title screen but can match the in game chase music. So look for music that feel that much greater will happen when to press start.

The music should fit with the world without creating much distraction to the viewers and aid them to understand the world of the game.

I found music that has fast space spin to it, that show it a chasing game.
This music will work if the title screen represent the chase itself instead of pre-chase moment. We still use the music if we remove the animation and used a still image of the game. But I decided that, we go with the other direction because we can break conventional expectation of gamers.
Need For Speed Most Wanted Police Chase Music
Need for speed most wanted Cop Chase theme song
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Theme Song
Vanesa Lorena - Pursuit Theme (NFS Rivals Soundtrack)
Need For Speed The Run Chase Theme
Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012 Menu Music
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - Police Chase OST 5 Theme Song
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - Police Chase OST 4 Theme Song
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - Police Chase OST 3 Theme Song
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - Police Chase OST 1 Theme Song

I found music that is cool and feels like something more to come.
Need for Speed World - Music: Safehouse (garage)
Need for Speed II Soundtrack - Main Menu

Really like the one below, but in my opinion it feels familiar and also one part the beat feels out of place from the world of the game.
Need for Speed Carbon Theme - Menù Music 4



This music shows that something more to come.
Need For Speed Rivals : Garage Theme

The actual music I believe fit with both category and do justice to title screen.

What it takes to make a Title & Credit Screen

Finding the best way to present a title and credits screen. The solution should be simple and elegant as must not get in the way in the creative process of the telling the story. Title Screen Should be done in a way to sell the idea of story or more importantly establish the mood, feel and pace of the story. Eg. Credit Screen I Credit screen as 2 things. There is one version where it is to allow the audience to absorb the story and its conclusion. An epic story that is told beautifully takes a good amount time to comprehend and swallow. Eg. After watching this 2 video above we can see that we need a few amount of time to stretch and realign ourself as our epic journey with the story comes to end.

After the story is over, the character got what he wanted all is well, we still want to see what happen to rest a...

Retuning our expectation of achievement!

I first created this reflection for my team at Coda Payments on 31st December 2021. I hope this brings value to you as you navigate the daily beauties of life.  Reflection post ahead: 2021 was an unprecedented year filled with life-changing events; work for home continues to be a norm, the battle to end Covid prolonged, people found new ways to connect with one another, and so on. As we head towards the new year, it poises us an excellent opportunity to reflect on the past year. As we reflect, we have 2 ways to go about it: Glass half empty or half full. Circling back to earlier in the year, I gave a Lunch & Learn session on "Clues to a more fulfilling work-life", where the core of the message was finding meaning in our work as when one find meaning/purpose, the work(action of doing) becomes more fulfilling, leading to greater satisfaction in life. Now it's time to see the 2nd part of the equation: contentment/achievement. Fulfilment is all about the action, while ach...
