Method: Find a funny example of a two person dialog.  Animate the words that are spoken, exactly and put the text into a common environment that is non distracting.

Results:  The animation "telephone".  

Conclusion:  Light and shadow, texture and  font and gravity all in a familiar environment and with synchronized sound and with subtle sound effects communicate powerfully.  

     This is the most exciting text animation that I have ever done.  "telephone" is just 9 seconds long.  When complete it will be one minute.   Following the successful test of converting aural humor to visual humor (in the animation "Beethoven "where the visual depends on the joke in the sound track), here we will create the joke in the visuals first.   
   
     Telephone wonderfully presents every technical and artistic challenge that we will face in this entire project nicely in a one minute film.  When this test is fully complete, if successful, it will demonstrate the living breathing natural world environment of letters.
