Why it works
The floor-level runner and giant shoe create an immediate scale reversal before the first world switch at frame 56. A 68-frame invitation title in shot 8 clarifies the anthology, while the locked deadline and URL overlays in shots 49–59 stay readable over fast background cuts. Only 14 of 59 cuts fall near the measured beat, so picture contrast carries the rhythm.
