Why it works
The source fragment, raw pieces and finished miniature arrive by frame 70, making the transformation clear before the method. Shot 11 answers the material question, while shots 15–20 reveal the paper mechanism before the animated payoff in shots 22–23. Speech covers 82% of the film, so the proof sequence is paced by phrases rather than an unreliable beat grid.
