Why it works
The opening holds the cutout against a dark sculpture for 1.97 seconds, giving the viewer time to decode the practical illusion. It then runs mostly 0.27-second, position-matched cuts across 88 shots, swapping real-world textures into the paper silhouettes while the artwork escalates. A lunar-scale image at about 0:21.6 sets up the plain product-name reveal near 0:23.9.
