Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 had fans buzzing when it hit theaters back in May and it stands as one of the best films the MCU has offered in some time. We recently had a chance to chat with some of the incredibly talented VFX, hair, makeup and prosthetics artists who helped to create the film.
Being a big fan of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, I was very excited to get the chance to speak with some of the amazing people who helped make the film possible. Our interview featured:
- Stephane Ceretti – VFX Supervisor, Marvel
- Theo Bialek – VFX Supervisor, Sony Pictures Imageworks
- Guy Williams – VFX Supervisor, Weta FX
- Alexis Wajsbrot – VFX Supervisor, Framestore
- Lindsay MacGowan – Prosthetics Design Supervisor
- Alexei Dmitriew – Makeup Department Supervisor

Topics of discussion ranged from the typical day-to-day operations of a VFX supervisor and the creation of Rocket Raccoon, to breaking the record for prosthetics used in a film and shooting the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
