plan for short animation

As I have been thinking about the short animation project over the weekend that passed by far too quickly I have come to decide that i would like to use inspiration from both the word animation and the conversation project to create a very simple animated poem. For our conversation project we are using a very plain palette with a strong focus and emphasis on the words and the emotions they provide on their own. I am picturing my animation to sit against a black background for the most basic and inviting backgrounds and I would like this stark and blank canvas to be a forum for colors and especially white text to animate upon for a fun and bold method to view my piece. Again, more than anything else I would like to focus on the bold and the innovative display of my words that cannot quite be seen on the white printed page of text. I guess I see this piece as flipping roles of text by turning the black text on a white printed page to white text animating on a black screen. I would also like the piece to develop from both the word animation and the conversation piece by focusing on irony for amusement. I think that I would like to use my instinctive thoughts from one word to inspire a sort of poetic and ironic banter that draws the viewer in by the display, bold color contrast and the amusement that irony presents in and of itself. I do not have a plan for the word that i will start off with and I have no direct plan for the words that will follow, but i would like to let the animation and the moment trail into what the piece will become. I am focusing on irony, bold and attractive text, amusement, and the spur of the moment idea notion to form a full piece of off the wall poetry.
