Why it works
The 174-frame opening pullback makes the subject, tool and place a single discovery before the first large-scale proof at frame 174. The board-art chain in shots 18–23 connects personal craft to physical performance, and shot 33 leaves a 141-frame silhouette for the final identity line and mark.
