Why it works
The full map appears immediately and the front begins advancing in the first three seconds, making obstacle contact a visual question. One continuous 927-frame shot at 30 fps holds the geography fixed while the front develops; the flat mean-luma curve and quieter late motion give time to read the reached region.
