0:00foggy cityscape intro
A faded, ethereal view of a stylized city skyline, mostly obscured by soft, light blue-tinted clouds or fog that fills the lower half and parts of the mid-ground. The upper half of the screen is a clear, bright sky transitioning from light blue to a pale white at the horizon. A golden 'DAILY PLANET' globe logo is faintly visible atop a building towards the left, partially shrouded in the haze. The city buildings themselves are depicted in white outlines with minimal detail, blending into the atmospheric haze, suggesting a high-altitude perspective. Lighting is soft and diffuse, implying a bright, possibly early morning or late afternoon sky. The overall color palette is dominated by soft blues and whites, creating a dreamlike, serene, yet anticipatory mood. The copyright '© & ™ DC (s25)' is subtly placed in the bottom right corner.

The scene begins with the soft, ethereal cityscape from the previous shot, but the fog rapidly dissipates, revealing clearer, stylized cartoon city buildings in the background. The buildings are primarily white outlines with some light grey and tan details, set against a vibrant, clear blue sky. A prominent, large circular silver coin, depicting a relief of Superman in a classic flying pose with his arms outstretched and cape flowing, appears in the center-right of the frame. The word "LIBERTY" is engraved above him. The coin swiftly rotates on its vertical axis, showcasing its reverse side, which features a detailed relief of a younger Superman-like figure sitting on a fence post in a rural setting, with a pickup truck and farm elements. Text "SUPERMAN" and "HOPE AND STRENGTH" are visible. This rotation happens several times, with the background alternating between the detailed cityscape and a simpler, bright blue background with subtle vertical light streaks, before settling back on the Superman side against the city. The lighting on the coin is bright and metallic, highlighting its intricate details. The overall color palette is bright blue, silver, white, and a touch of gold from the 'Daily Planet' globe.

The large silver Superman coin is now static in the lower-middle of the frame, firmly positioned on a light, sandy ground, which appears to crack and splinter outwards from its base, accompanied by cartoon-style dust clouds. The city skyline background from the previous scene remains, detailed in white outlines, light grey, and tan against a bright blue sky, with the 'DAILY PLANET' globe on the left. Animated comic book art elements begin to appear around the coin. On the left, Clark Kent in a fedora and suit sits reading a "DAILY PLANET" newspaper, partially obscuring a green vintage car being lifted by a small Superman. On the right, two different depictions of Superman appear: one flying dynamically, and another standing heroically with his cape billowing. The scene is vibrant with strong comic book aesthetics. Text appears sequentially: "A NEW SYMBOL OF HOPE & STRENGTH..." in bold black font, followed by "...HAS LANDED." below. The color palette is bright and rich, featuring blues, reds, greens, and the metallic silver of the coin.

The detailed comic art scene from before rapidly blurs into a soft, out-of-focus background of blues and whites, resembling blurry clouds. Centered at the top, two circular logos appear: the blue and yellow "TREASURY UNITED STATES MINT" seal on the left, connected by a black 'X' to the blue and white "DC" logo on the right. Below these logos, the bold black text "COMIC ART COIN & MEDAL PROGRAM" appears, stacked in three lines. The lower half of the screen remains a soft, blurred mix of the sand and sky colors, with faint suggestions of the coins below, hinting at the next reveal. The overall impression is a clean, transitional graphic.

The blurred background from the previous scene sharpens, revealing a sandy-colored ground with pronounced cracks and light grey stylized smoke clouds on the left. The upper part of the background transitions to a clear, bright blue sky with faint cloud textures. Three metallic coins are prominently displayed in the lower-middle of the frame. The largest is the silver Superman coin (obverse) in the front-center, with a slightly smaller silver coin (reverse, showing "HOPE AND STRENGTH" design) positioned behind it to the right. A smaller gold coin with "LIBERTY" inscribed is in front of the large silver coin, to its left. Above these coins, the "TREASURY UNITED STATES MINT" and "DC" logos, connected by an 'X', and the "COMIC ART COIN & MEDAL PROGRAM" text remain from the previous scene. A red rectangular button with "SHOP NOW" in white text appears in the middle of the screen, followed by the website address "USMINT.GOV/DC" in bold black text below it. The overall composition is clean and focused on product presentation with clear calls to action. The color palette is dominated by blues, yellows (from the gold coin and logos), and the metallic silver. The copyright '© & ™ DC (s25)' is in the bottom right corner, as it was in previous scenes.
