Yes, you can do that, but you'd have to do it for every frame in the
animation. It won't work to do a character-by-character transformation
once for each character, since the transformation depends on where the
character occurs within the rectangle/trapezoid. Imagine a rectangle
with an "A" in each of the four corners. During the process of
converting that rectangle to a trapezoid, each "A" undergoes a
transformation that is different from that of the other "A"s.
