EXT RIVER -- DAY Love the different and fun looking frogs! I wonder if we could give this a boost interms of the science content or practices. Here are some possible ideas: Teach that having many species is good because it helps support the environment (biodiversity)...and maybe we can learn new design ideas from new frogs species. Or could the song include the process of identifying a species...it looks like frog because... but it's different from all the others because... Open on Senor Tapir with his guitar, sitting by the river. A group of kids sit near him, including Elinor. "Really fun, well executed. A few minor notes below, but one overall note: given the reasonable concern about production assumptions, please shrink the number of frogs portrayed [ remove transforming frog]; instead, increase the time spent on one frog, to build a little bit of a narrative and climax as he looks for a new frog and finds an amazing one. " Close on a tree frog that <CROAKS> on the side of a tree trunk. Elinor perks up and her ears swivel toward the sound. Elinor I hear a frog! Close on a different frog, a chorus frog, which <CROAKS> while sitting on the edge of the river. Elinor’s ears swivel the other way toward that sound. Ooh, I hear… ELINOR (CONT’D) Maybe a line here that says they are different. I hear another frog! ( pondering ) I wonder how many different kinds of frogs there are. SeNOR TAPIR could start with 'Well..." so it feels more of a response to what Elinor just said Let’s sing a song about a scientist named Juan M Guayasamin , who wondered the same thing! He followed his curiosity into the forests of Ecuadorto look for new kinds of frogs. Senor Tapir starts to sing. After a line or two, we transition to a simpler style of animation that describes what he is singing. (Note: I wrote these lyrics to a Latin rhythm and melody in my head. It would be awesome to have a Latin inspired vibe since he is from Ecuador). Guayasamin requests "Llama or Andean Bear" SENOR TAPIR (CONT’D) (singing) Juan M Guayasamin ... 2. EXT. ECUADOR TROPICAL FOREST -- DAY Juan M. Guayasamin (a mountain lion -- or maybe a tapir, or cloud cat -- I’m sure Juan Guayasamin will have a favorite Ecuadorian mammal) pops into frame among the tropical plants of an Ecuadorian cloud forest. glass frog - visualizing how we will see the underside of the frog without having him flip it over on its backside - perhaps we note that its balancing on a thin stick - allowing him to crounch low and see the underbelly SenOR TAPIR (CONT’D) Grew up in Ecuador, And wondered if he could find, Frogs that nobody’s seen before. Close on an Ecuadorian rainfrog , a bright lime green frog with stripes, sitting on a tropical leaf. Juan’s face pops into frame to look closely and excitedly at the frog. Juan looks at a tiny green glassfrog (see this article for the exact kind, plus picture references to seeing its organs: https: // www.sciencefocus.com /nature/newly-discovered-frog-species-has-a-visible-heart/). Close on the glassfrog as we look up at its underside and abdomen, so we can see its transparent skin, its organs and its heart. SENOR TAPIR (CONT’D) Juan found new rainfrogs , Wow! Look at those stripes! Juan found new glassfrogs , Wow! You can see their insides! We're not familiar with the latin rhythm that inspired you, but we were surprised that the chorus doesn't rhyme. Could one of the three lines that end in "forest" have a rhyme instead? Juan happily walks through the tropical forest. He excitedly points at a leaf and leans to look closely at an Ecuadorian rainfrog . Juan keeps walking and turns to inspect another awesome frog, Las Gralarias rainfrog , which has some red, green and brown coloring. Close on Juan’s face as he looks up to see different kinds of frogs appear around his head, as if he is remembering them. SeNOR TAPIR (CONT’D) You know its... So much fun finding frogs in the forest, So much fun finding frogs in the forest, Weird and wonderful frogs in the forest, In Ecuador. Juan looks at a little horned marsupial frog on a tropical plant. Close on the frog’s face, which shows horns above its eyes. Close on a mutabilis rainfrog , a brownish green frog. At first, the frog has spines on its skin, but then the spines shrink and the frog’s skin becomes smooth. (See an example of the transformation here: https: // www.youtube.com / watch?v = l5CGbvsF0ls ) SenOR TAPIR (CONT’D) Instead of saying "Juan found a new frog," I intentially kept it vague to be about looking at frogs. Juan works with a team of scientists, and another scientist on Juan's team technically found the mutabilis frog. However, Juan was involved in studying the frog over the course of several years and it is listed on his organization's site as a new described species. So, in the spirit of not giving Juan all the credit when there was really collaboration, I thought it would be fun to keep a bit generic about looking at awesome frogs. Folks in Ecuador thought the horned marsupial frog didn't live there (or hadn't been seen since 2005), and Juan's team excitedly found the frog recently, and proved it still lived there. It is a cool discovery, just technically not a brand new species of frog. That is why I used "Look at this brown frog!" Also, I kept the names of frogs simple in this verse for the sake of the lyrics. As long as the visuals represent those exact species, it will be accurate. They will also look really cool. Look at this brown frog. Wow! There are horns on its face! Look at this spiny frog. Wow! Its skin can change! Juan happily walks through the tropical forest. He excitedly points at a leaf and leans to look closely at a horned marsupial frog. Juan keeps walking and turns to inspect another awesome frog, the mutabilis rainfrog . Close on Juan’s face as he looks up at all the frogs we saw earlier, which appear around his head, as if he is remembering them. SenoR TAPIR (CONT’D) You know it’s... So much fun finding frogs in the forest, So much finding frogs in the forest, Juan finds wonderful frogs in the forest, In Ecuador. 3. EXT. RIVER -- DAY As soon as Senor Tapir finishes singing his song, the tree frog <CROAKS>. ELINOR ( to Senor Tapir) I think that frog wants to sing with you. Senor Tapir and the kids <WALLA LAUGH>. Close on the tree frog’s face as it <CROAKS> one final time.
