1. Mid of Jack Ashby, assistant director, Museum of Zoology Cambridge, greeting dodo skeleton using AI app UPSOUND (English) "Hello, how are you?"
2. Reverse angle of the AI dodo responding UPSOUND: (English) "Ah Jack, welcome back. I’m as lively as a spirited memory can be. Encased in my glass world, I flourish on the curious energy of visitors."
3. Wide of Jack Ashby asking the dodo how it became extinct
4. Close zoom of dodo’s skeletal head UPSOUND: (English) "The decline of my kind, the dodos, is a tale tinged with both simplicity and tragedy. Life on Mauritius was idyllic until the late 1500s, when humans arrived with settlers and sailors."
5. Mid of Jack Ashby asking if scientists should try to clone the dodo back from extinction
6. Reverse angle of AI dodo responding UPSOUND: (English) "Reviving the dodo is a thought provoking notion. On one hand, it offers a glimmer of hope, an opportunity for redemption, and a chance to right past wrongs."
7. Close of the app with text responses from the dodo UPSOUND: (English) " However, the task is fraught with complexities. The world we knew, with its specific ecosystem is no longer the same."
8. Wide zoom of the dodo skeleton UPSOUND: (English) "A cloned dodo would find itself in an unfamiliar environment. The best path might not be in resurrecting the past, but in protecting the rich diversity that thrives today."
9. SOUNDBITE: (English) Jack Ashby, assistant director, Museum of Zoology Cambridge:
"Museums generally choose what to tell people, but in this way they can ask whatever they like and that’s really, really valuable, I think. They can have an actual conversation with an animal, with a specimen, and I think that brings it to life in a really different way than a normal museum exhibit might."

13. Mid of Jack Ashby approaching platypus and asking what it’s like to be a platypus
14. Close of platypus and mobile phone UPSOUND: (English) "It’s like dancing to nature’s most eclectic symphony. Imagine this: Your senses are heightened in the water. With my bill I’m attuned to the electric whispers of the river, detecting creatures hidden beneath the surface. Each dive feels like exploration with invisible guidance. Swimming through freshwater streams. Feeling the gentle resistance of water was pure joy."
15. Wide of Jack Ashby asking a giant sloth what it is
16. Over the shoulder shot of the app UPSOUND: (English) "I am megatherion the giant ground sloth. A remarkable being that once inhabited the ancient landscapes of South America."
17. SOUNDBITE: (English) Jack Ashby, assistant director, Museum of Zoology Cambridge:
"People can ask whatever they like. And when I started working with the Nature Perspectives platform, I was just asking factual questions. But because the animal’s personality comes across really quickly, you end up having an actual conversation where you’re asking more about feelings, you’re asking anything fun. You could ask how its day was or what it had for breakfast. You can have a proper conversation and I think that it’s a different way of engaging and it’s much more real, I think, than most information we get in museums."
