Why it works
Shot 1 withholds the first cut until frame 483 while the object changes scale against a nearly black horizon. The close physical interaction in shots 3–4 leads to the long resolution in shot 10, and only then does shot 11 reveal the name; five shot-boundary hard cuts (f483, f605, f1445, f1686, f3724), one internal hard cut (f3903), and five bright transitions mark mission changes without overcutting.
