Behind the 22,500 Facial Prosthetics in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3"

Coming up with 22,500 prosthetic appliances is no easy feat. After months of research, Dmitriew worked with Legacy Effects, a leading SFX team, to create a "working character bible of all the aliens of the universe." But that's only the beginning: from there, they needed to determine how many aliens were in each particular scene and the number of prosthetic pieces needed to get them into character. While Dmitriew headed up the logistics and on-set execution, Legacy Effects was responsible for creating the pieces.
