TIMELINE (5 seconds)
00:00-00:00.3  Only the torn orange and blue paper dusk sky, nothing else on screen.
00:00.3-00:00.9  The big orange sun disc rises into its place on the left; the torn peach cloud strips slide in from the left and right edges one at a time and settle.
00:00.9-00:01.6  The Manhattan skyline blocks rise from the bottom edge one cluster at a time, farthest first, and settle.
00:01.6-00:02.6  The Brooklyn Bridge builds alone across the centre: the two stone towers rise, the deck slides in, the cables drop into place and lock.
00:02.6-00:03.3  The blue river planes slide in from the bottom edge one strip at a time.
00:03.3-00:03.8  Last, the tug boat slides in from the right and locks front right.
00:03.8-00:04.9  LIVING HOLD. The composition is complete and nothing changes position. Only three gentle motions: the tug boat bobs gently, the gold sun reflection shimmers on the water, the cloud strips drift very slowly. Paper-cut motion, small and calm.
00:04.9-00:05.0  Settle: identical to the attached image.

AVOID
Camera movement, cross-fades, morphing, elements changing shape or colour, extra elements not in the image, people walking, vehicles moving, text, watermarks, music, any frame after 00:04.9 that differs from the attached image.
