WAKE UP OPPY COLD OPEN
ILM ANIMATED HIRISE
STEVE SQUYRES Principal Scientist:
At the beginning, there’s nothing. There’s no…concept of a robot explorer crawling across the surface of another world. And then gradually...you start to think, you start to act, you start to build. And those machines come to life.

GFX LOWER THIRD: They were expected to live for 90 days.
PHOTO REAL SFX ANIMATION: WS: A little robot sits on the red plains, alone.
BEKAH SOSLAND-SIEGFRIEDT Flight Director: A lot of people out there would say, “Oh they’re just robots.” But once we turn them on for the first time, they became so much more than just robots on another planet. ILM SFX ANIMATION: Medium profile: Oppy’s body as green light flickers, tracks up to her face. Head turns up, MCU of head and neck.

ILM SFX ANIMATION: Medium profile: Oppy drives away and then stops, looks down.
KOBIE BOYKINS Mechanical Engineer: Once the rover’s on Mars, she has her own life. There’s energy pulsing through her veins. And she needs to be given love.
