Blue Man Machine

Final Rounder Scene

The animation begins with the mechanical bird swooping down and gulping up the blue rounder. There will be two shots of this, the first from the point of view of the bird, and the second a landscape shot so that the swoop of the bird and the swallowing are visible. The blue rounder is swallowed and falls into the belly of the bird. The belly of the bird is unexpectedly large, about the size of a small bedroom. Inside the belly is an old blue man standing behind an oddly shaped gun that the old blue guy is pointing at the blue rounder. The old blue guy fires the gun at the blue rounder and to both of their surprise, nothing happened to the blue rounder. Since the gun has no effect on the blue rounder, it means that the blue rounder is not like the others. The old blue guy, turns the duty of zapping people with his gun to the new blue rounder.. and gives him instructions on how to reactivate the gun using the old blue guys eyes and head. Dismantling the top of the gun, the old blue guy shoves cables from the ray gun into his own eyes and hangs himself to decapitate his head. The blue rounder places the old guys head into the canopic jar of the ray gun and recharges it. The gun reveals what is inside the person it shoots. The gun has two settings,
1. Pauperize – it strips the subject from all there money
2. De-Colorize- it drains the color out of the subject.
The user can set the dial to either pauperize or De-Colorize, and the bird goes and gulps up the respective person and swallows him/her and the user pulls the trigger on the gun.
When the pauperize zaps a green rounder, the rounder dissolves and monetary objects, (cars, money, houses, electronics, jewelry, and other valuables), smoke out of the corpse.
When the De-Colorize zaps a red rounder, the rounder dissolves and images and sounds of modern day racist subject matter, (BET, black scholarship, NAACP, miss black America, black colleges, and other references to racist images) will dissolve to the ceiling and float around.
