Why it works
The bright candid setup in shots 1–5 establishes real driving footage before shot 6's source/result split and measured 49% horizontal image travel make the transformation understandable. Shot 18 holds an expressive speaking face for 160 frames, and the product name waits until shot 22; performance earns the announcement.
