We’d always start a setup with our stand-ins – we had a little person stand-in for Rocket, and a gymnast wearing an extended helmet for Groot. The crew were very methodical in how we approached these shots. Kyle McCulloch – VFX Supervisor // A typical day on set for me usually involved shooting setups with Rocket and Groot in them. Kyle McCulloch – VFX Supervisor // We did the Kyln and Knowhere sequences, which included 646 shots of characters, environments and FX.Ĭan you describe one of your days on-set and then during the post? What are the sequences done by Framestore? Regardless of how stressful the production became, we always enjoyed our calls and meetings with Stef – he was great at working with the Marvel team, and collaborating to solve all of the tricky problems we had on the show. Kyle McCulloch – VFX Supervisor // Stef was fun and easygoing throughout the process of creating GotG. How did you work with Production VFX Supervisor Stéphane Ceretti? We were bringing his main character to life, and so he was in quite a few of our reviews and sessions, constantly communicating with our teams about who Rocket was, and what performance he wanted. Kyle McCulloch – VFX Supervisor // James is a story teller, and he definitely saw VFX as part of his tool kit to tell his story. What was his approach about the visual effects? I think a big part of the success of Rocket is thanks to his commitment to directing our animators, and really taking part in the VFX process. He was incredibly generous with his time, meeting with us two to three times a week to discuss the work we were doing. He was passionate and engaged in the entire process, and being one of the writers of the film meant he had a very personal connection to Rocket. Kyle McCulloch – VFX Supervisor // Working with James was one of the best director experiences I’ve had in visual effects. How was the collaboration with director James Gunn? I spent four months on set, helping to supervise the shoot, while Jonathan (Fawkner, Framestore’s other VFX Supervisor) worked back at Framestore to build Rocket raccoon. Kyle McCulloch – VFX Supervisor // I came onboard GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY right before the start of principle photography. From there, I moved into visual effects and worked in both commercials and film. Kyle McCulloch – VFX Supervisor // I studied film in college, and started my career working at a studio that did traditional and stop motion animation.
