Roger Guyett joined ILM in 1994 to work on the groundbreaking computer animation in Casper. He was a principal member of the team that produced over forty minutes of 3D character animation, marking the first time in cinematic history that a leading role was played by an entirely synthetic actor.
In 1995, Guyett led the technical direction of key sequences in Dragonheart, where ILM’s proprietary facial animation software brought Draco the CG dragon to life. As computer graphics supervisor on Twister, he oversaw a team of digital artists that created stunning images of one of nature’s fiercest weather events. Three years later, Guyett was recognized with a British Academy Award (BAFTA) for his innovative work as co-visual effects supervisor on Saving Private Ryan. For his work on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Guyett earned both Oscar and BAFTA nominations and won the Visual Effects Society Award for Best Visual Effects.
Most recently, Guyett was the Visual Effects Supervisor for J.J. Abrams’ eagerly anticipated reboot of the legendary Star Trek franchise to release in May 2009.
Guyett, born and raised in Great Britain, worked in the video and film post-production industry for eight years. He supervised numerous award-winning commercial, television and film projects for clients such as Ridley Scott and Amblin Entertainment.
