> **Video Content:** The video begins with an illustration of a character in samurai attire surrounded by black goats in a snowy setting with a torii gate, overlaid with the text "PFPs & UTILITY" and a "MAJIN" logo.

A man in a baseball cap speaks in a small picture-in-picture window throughout, emphasizing the time and effort required for authentic digital art creation.

> "To achieve originality and authenticity, there's no way around effort. And I think that's exactly what digital collectibles have been missing since 2021.
Bored Apes, Azuki, Cool Cats, Doodles... they are all original, made with passion — but they were also all created 5 years"

> **Video Content:** The video opens with two Mutant Ape characters on a beach at sunset, where the female ape holds up a phone to take a candid photo of her partner, who wears a "BAYC" hat and chain. The perspective then shifts to a close-up of the male ape's face, followed by a first-person view of the phone's camera screen displaying the female ape's face as the photographer. Finally, the scene returns to the two apes together, where the male ape now reacts with an exaggerated shocked expression while looking at the phone screen with his partner. On-screen text includes "BAYC" on the male's hat, chain, and jacket, as well as "BAYC" and "BAIG" visible on the female ape's outfit.

> **Video Content:** The video is a looping animation of a psychedelic, zombie-like Bored Ape character with a pink and green mohawk, bloodshot eyes, and melting green skin holding a white mug labeled "YES" filled with a steaming green liquid, while a colorful purple and pink parrot perches on its shoulder. Across the frames, the steam and small bubbles animate continuously, rising and shifting shape above the mug. The bright green liquid in the mug also subtly sloshes, giving the otherwise static scene a sense of subtle, hypnotic motion.
