Why it works
The oversized title establishes the subject within 0.75 seconds, and four multiplying registration windows at 0:05.5–0:09.5 make the problem tangible. Eleven rapid shots across 0:28.6–0:32.4 turn checkout failure into a visual gag, while the long, brighter origin passage earns the clean logo reveal at about 1:00.6.
