I've got the coolest spin on the topic of "evolution," but a necessarily
"lecture" from the villain requires a speech that took Microsoft Narrator 80
seconds to read.  And that's not counting lead up and denoument'.

   Wonder if it will fly.

You could always cop out and put most of the explanation in the text file...

Anyway, how long is the rest of the animation? if the speech is only a small
part of the whole then it should be okay, but you'll have trouble compressing
it.

Do we need to hear all 80 seconds of it?  An aptly-selected line could
have the same impact (the viewer's brain will fill in the rest).

thanks for all the replies.  yeah, I did think up a 25 word version of the
villain's speech.

And if you must know, the development process is going:
idea 1, no, idea 2, no, idea 3, no, idea 4, cool!
write some dialogue, look at calendar,
get psyched out by low score and a few pieces of tough constructive
criticism, look at calender,
setting 1, no, setting 2, no setting 3, no., look at calendar.


But hey it's an excellent concept at this stage.
