Why it works
The opening gives a strange concept exact scale within 12 seconds, and the 1:47 concept chapter lets polished renders make the proposal attractive before the 3:08 critical turn. Wildlife examples from 3:46 and a transit-speed comparison at 5:26 turn an opinion into inspectable tests; the measured first six minutes use 124 shots to keep those claims visual. These metrics cover 0:00–6:00 of a 17:23 video.
