Why it works
The opening stays black until the image rises around frame 39, then shot 2 presents a tiny framed world at frame 41. Opposing panels and hand inserts in shots 18–30 establish a gesture that shots 78–80 repeat after the giant-form reveal; the measured 108 BPM pulse supports the build while only 13 of 92 cuts land near a beat.
