Framestore posted the video that showcases a behind the scenes look into the work that went into creating some of the most complex shots in the film. Some of the most intriguing moments of this video feature the layers of CGI quite literally peeling back, in order to show exactly how detailed the backgrounds and figures actually are. You can check out the video below:

From the effects-laden opening scene to the downright creepy deconstruction of Rocket’s makeup, this video really showcases how detailed each individual shot really is. Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2 is clearly one of the most effects laden films of all time, and yet it is because the effects are done so well and in full service of the story that the film succeeds in such high-quality manner.

Set to the backdrop of ‘Awesome Mixtape #2,’ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.

Directed by James Gunn, the film stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is now available on Digital HD, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD.
