Very cool and very quick. I would check out the Hue/Saturation filter. You can adjust the Master Hue to change the color of the text. If you create an animated shape or shapes that are white you can do a Luma blend mode so only the text shows threw the shape. Something like that should get you pointed in the right direction.
