Why it works
A complete scale claim appears at frame 0 while the spotlight moves inside shot 1, whose first cut waits until frame 146. The name is delayed until shot 5, and shot 8 holds one cell environment for 305 frames while its central object changes; narration covers 83% of the film and carries these transitions.
