Thanks Johannes, I agree with your points overall and glad to hear about the updates. I agree that some iteration to get to "see that the video and text is working well together" is what I want too. For whatever reasons that may be partly miscommunication, I felt pressured to get something "just right" before handing it over, which doesn't feel like the right approach. FWIW, Stephen gave me some feedback on the latest script that may lead to a new revision, but the recent one I posted is still the latest worth working on visuals for. I agree with you and Robert that avoiding the number-focused end stuff is better. I'm happier with the direction now. I think some iterative process back and forth between audio and visuals will get us to the best final result.
