Why it works
The 116-frame tactile opening and 16-frame focus pull let the viewer feel the material before the first cut. A staged threshold delays the frontal product view until shot 15, while shot 25's large landscape move and shot 26's ×0.61 pull-out release the product into a bigger world. Sparse type and a measured 2.00-second median give the imagery room to carry the story.
