Why it works
The spoken question gains a figure and instrument within the first 3 seconds, so the viewer sees the premise while hearing it. The drawing changes material for the dark comparison at shot 46, then authentic proof arrives at shot 93 (101.61 s); the 105-shot rhythm has a 0.56 s median but longer diagrams remain readable.
