Why it works
The first cut at frame 45 turns a monumental overhead form into a tiny product on a block, resolving a scale puzzle. Shot 17 slows the reveal but contains hard cuts at frames 667 and 698; the genuine interface action in shot 19 then makes the long moving hero in shot 20 feel earned. Product naming is held until the shot-20 title at about 39 seconds.
