Biography

Roger Guyett is an English visual effects supervisor and second unit director. Guyett and his fellow visual effects artists were nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects for the 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

He started his career in London, working in Computer Animation on commercials, pop videos, and TV idents in the mid-1980s. Following a move to the United States in 1993, he began working on various film projects. He initially worked at Pacific Data Images (PDI - the largest Computer Graphics company at that time, known for the Michael Jackson video 'Black or White') before moving in 1995 to Industrial Light & Magic – one of the longest-standing and most successful visual effects companies in the world. During his 27-year tenure at ILM, he has worked on over 30 films.
