Why it works
Seven cuts in the first ten seconds turn a tiny arrival into a readable physical task, while 19 of 20 shots keep the camera locked so the materials carry the motion. The 769-frame illustrated shot begins at frame 1034 and expands the world after the darker night passage; its internal pans replace further edit cuts.
