Guy Williams

With over twenty-five years’ experience in visual effects, Guy collaborates with filmmakers to realise their storytelling vision at every stage of the VFX process. He has recently completed James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3, which earned him a fourth Academy Award® nomination.

Guy supervised VFX on Gemini Man (2019), creating a digital young Will Smith who is on screen with the real Will Smith throughout the whole 3D, 120fps, 4K-resolution film. He also recently supervised Wētā’s work on the live-action remake of Disney’s classic, Lady and the Tramp (2019).

Receiving an Academy Award nomination for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), Guy led the team in marrying math with art to create the massive Planet Ego and the fast-paced action that constantly moves around it. He was also nominated for both Academy Awards and BAFTAs for the complex digital environments and wild third-act battles in Iron Man 3 (2013) and The Avengers (2012).

For Steven Spielberg’s The BFG (2016), Guy supervised on set alongside Wētā’s Joe Letteri as they mastered simultaneous performance capture on the live-action and virtual stages.

Guy joined Wētā in 1999 to work on Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy. His work as CG Supervisor on King Kong (2005) won him a VES Award and he was a VFX Supervisor on James Cameron’s game-changing Avatar (2009). He is an active member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
