Thesis Concept

• a visual interpretation of poetry through
  multiple iterations, using motion graphics,
  animation, and film
• Can one interpret creative language through
  visual means to create the same aesthetic impact?
  
• If so, what is the most effective translation?
• Using an organized approach, can the message of
  the author be made clearer than simply reading
  the interpretations of experts?
