(5 Panels)
(Each panel should be
framed as if to be an image on a TV Screen. The imagery should try to evoke the
style and thematics of MYTHBUSTERS but tilted more towards animals and with
children’s education in mind.)
Panel 1: Title panel – a plain-ish blue background,
on top of which is the title as well as B’WANA BEAST and VIXEN. VIXEN wears her
normal outfit, while B’WANA BEAST has a field-friendly lab coat on in addition
to his normal outfit – it should look like B’WANA BEAST is making a poor
attempt as looking scientific with an intentionally humorous slant in mind.

ANNOUNCER: Today, on The Brazen Adventures of B’wana Beast
and Vixen!
Panel 2: B’WANA BEAST and VIXEN are by a mobile
laboratory setup somewhere in Africa. B’WANA BEAST is in the foreground holding
an insect container with one or more magnified fleas. He takes up most the
panel, as if in the middle of a humerous antic.
VIXEN is in the
background with a Kangaroo.

ANNOUNCER: The team ‘hops to it’ as they test the limits of
the animal kingdom’s jumping strength!
Panel 3: The backdrop is in blueprint style. In front
of it are paper-cutout style pictures of a FLEA and a KANGEROO, but each with a
human head superimposed on it. The FLEA has the head of MICHAEL JORDAN in ‘AIR
JORDAN’ tongue out style, while the KANGEROO has the head of LEBRON JAMES. Both
are in the air and have dotted motion lines indicating jumping.

SFX: wwWHOOoop!
Panel 4: B’WANA BEAST is in a cross between a
wrestling ring and a rodeo pen with an angry-looking bull. He looks ready to wrestle the bull with his bare hands. His costume has been replaced with a
variant that looks mostly the same except for that it’s a solid red.
VIXEN is hovering
overhead. A ‘ghost’ image of a Hummingbird is behind her to indicate she’s
using the animals flight and hover ability. She has a lasso at her side ready
to deploy in an emergency, though it’s currently not out. Her costume is mostly
the same, but modified a touch to have a cowgirl feel to it.
SFX: [Music Notes]
ANNOUNCER: Then, B’wana Beast explores the age-old tale
about the bull’s rage against red!
Panel 5: B’WANA BEAST is next to the same bull, but
the bull is now safely contained. Nearby, VIXEN is with a dog.

ANNOUNCER: Then, the team finds out what happens when you make one
color blind with the help of man’s best friend!

Oh, man, so much to love here. I would watch the hell out of this kind of educational television. And the style here just sings with curiosity and fun. I'd love to see some art to this. Standing O, MK.
ReplyDeleteI agree with most everything Ray's already mentioned. Love those little puns, but I'm even more into the tone and diction that you run with here. It all sounds pitch perfect and makes for a really fun opener for the "show".
