Frozen Ice Letters

Turn the word [TEXT] into ice in tall, heavy condensed capitals. Start with the letters as clear, rippling water that refracts a midnight-blue background full of soft out-of-focus cool lights. A freezing front sweeps left to right: behind it the letters turn into thick, slightly cloudy pale-blue ice with beveled edges, a bright cold rim light and white feathery frost crystals growing in from the edges. Hold while thin white fracture lines branch through the blocks, frost glints twinkle and low mist drifts across the bottom. Then the frost fades, the surface turns glossy and wet and the letters melt back to rippling water; loop. Quiet, crisp, cold.
