Why it works
The opening changes from blank paper to a hand-drawn identity and conversational figures within 3 seconds. The 14.8–24.3 s three-part escalation hands the argument to a global image by shot 22, while 628 spoken words keep the drawings tied to phrased claims. The 25 continuous boundaries preserve the feeling of one drawing despite 159 measured shots.
