Why it works
The first six seconds show the ordinary upward build, then replace it with a downward mountain city; four picture changes make the contrast legible before the first cut. A long miniature construction sequence around 0:07–0:26 establishes the baseline, so the descending layers and route at 0:35–0:51 pay off visually. Real-world examples at 1:00–1:04 lend the fictional mechanism an architectural analogue before the brief CTA.
