Following the hugely successful Guardians of the Galaxy from Marvel Studios, Vol. 2 takes us to new planets, introduces us to new characters, reinterprets old friends and yes, uses an even more colourful palette. Overall VFX Supervisor Christopher Townsend will take us on a journey of exploration behind the scenes of one of this summer's biggest blockbusters.
