Under The Skin Of "Guardians Of The Galaxy" With Makeup FX Wizard David White

Co.Create | creativity + culture + commerce: “The Marvel process is clean cut,” says David White, Guardians of the Galaxy’s special effects makeup designer and head of Altered States FX. “It’s a very lean machine, which works very well.” And the lean machine has indeed worked well, once again producing a big fat winner. The movie completely exceeded expectations, earning $94 million at the box office, and was critically labeled as zany, brainy, and bold. It’s the biggest box office debut in August ever--not bad for a movie about an odd team of underdogs based on a lesser-known comic.
