No thanks, I'm good.
Apparently, James Gunn likes to sketch out before he shoots it. Pretty cool, right? Well now, he’s shared one of those sketches. It’s from Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and it’s awesome, you gotta check it out.
For me, Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the Marvel Universe’s best movies. In the top 3 so far for me, so the sequel has got big shoes to fill for this geek. In fact, other than Civil War, it’s the Marvel movie I’m looking forward to the most – I just hope the movie can live up to my unrealistic expectations.
ANYWAY, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 director James Gunn recently took to Facebook and revealed that he likes to sketch out scenes before he shoots them. This past week, he’s share one of those sketches on his Facebook page and it’s epic.
For those unwilling to click the Facebook like to check out what he wrote with the sketch, you can fidn it quoted below:
Recently I mentioned how I draw every single shot in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 before we ever shoot a frame. I’ll spread whole scenes over my office floor or all around the walls, sometimes hundreds of shots, and it will give me an idea of how the scene flows, what’s smooth, what’s jumbled, and even what works comedically. Over the entire film I draw thousands of these thumbnails.
Many of them are messy and it’s impossible for anyone other than me to tell what they are. Some of them get turned over to accomplished storyboard artists to flesh out. Some of them go directly to our pre-visualization team to turn into animated storyboards. And others just stay in their primitive state.
Many of you asked to see these drawings so I thought I’d start posting thumbnails of whatever it was we shot that day on #GotGVol2. I’m not going to explain what the shot is – as I said, they’re messy. But maybe you can match the thumbnail to the shot when the movie is released.
So here’s the first in the series of #WhatWeShotWednesday (that is, today). Can you guess what it might be?
Now let’s get to that sketch! Check it out below:

I think it’s obvious that it’s baby Groot and he’s offering somebody some kind of gift to somebody. Possibly Rocket? Maybe. I wonder if this is the first time Groot moves and speaks (with the rest of the crew knowing it)?
What do you guys think is happening?
