About the work
This one was in the works for a long time—over half a year, actually.
It's not every day you get asked to film at Boston Dynamics with their brand-new Atlas robot. It is humbling to know that we are one of the very few media outlets ever allowed to film inside their facilities. A massive thank you to all the crew and staff who made this project happen.
