Jerry Seinfeld is back with another comedy project in "Bee Movie," but this time around, his work doesn't involve a live audience or television set -- but a sound booth to record dialogue for computer animators.

It's a decidedly different locale for the veteran comedian -- whose stand-up routine kicked off his classic sitcom "Seinfeld" from 1989 to 1998 -- and a space he's been in and around for the past four years as a writer, producer and star of the new DreamWorks animation feature.

The biggest difference between then and now is that Seinfeld didn't have the benefit of a live audience to test the material as the film was in production. But he quickly adapted.

"It's like what any moviemakers go through -- you can't test anything out. But with animation you get a lot of shots," Seinfeld said in a recent @ The Movies interview. "You can see the movie in a crude form very early on. It's just in a pencil sketch form, so you can kind of get a sense of it and work off of that. It's a very different kind of experience."

Opening Friday in theaters nationwide, "Bee Movie" follows the exploits of a yellowjacket named Barry B. Benson (Seinfeld), a recent college graduate who decides there's more to life outside the honey factory in New Hive City.

Bravely venturing out into New York City, Barry makes a human friend in the kindly florist Vanessa (Renee Zellweger), and makes the shocking discovery that people are consuming honey -- leading him to sue the human race for stealing it.

Directors Simon J. Smith and Steve Hickner found that Seinfeld was a valuable collaborator in the creative process, whether he was in the recording booth or not.

"What was fantastic was even when we weren't recording and in the edit suite, he would throw out lines all of the time, or other people would throw out lines," Smith said. "He'd say, let me try that. So, we had a microphone in editorial, so he'd just do a different version of the line or a new one altogether, and within five minutes we would cut it into the scene to see if it was funnier or not."
