Good Night Oppy Scriptbook

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: In 2003, twin sister robots named Opportunity and Spirit were sent to Mars.

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.

GFX ROVER MESSAGE: INCOMING… WAKE UP SONG. PLAYING…

Roam – The B-52’s

GFX ROVER MESSAGE: NASA: GOOD MORNING, OPPORTUNITY. TIME TO WAKE UP! ILM SFX ANIMATION: WS: Mars surface track uphill to reveal Oppy on top.

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.
