Filming for the "Guardians of the Galaxy" sequel is currently underway and director James Gunn has avidly been sharing photos and stories from the set with fans across social media.
In his latest Facebook post Wednesday, Gunn shared his process before filming a scene. It turns out Gunn hand draws every single shot for the sequel before it’s filmed. It sounds incredible.
“I’ll spread whole scenes over my office floor or all around the walls, sometimes hundreds of shots, and it will give me an idea of how the scene flows, what's smooth, what's jumbled, and even what works comedically,” Gunn wrote. “Over the entire film I draw thousands of these thumbnails.”
“Many of them are messy and it's impossible for anyone other than me to tell what they are,” he continued. “Some of them get turned over to accomplished storyboard artists to flesh out. Some of them go directly to our pre-visualization team to turn into animated storyboards. And others just stay in their primitive state.”

Gunn then shared one of his recent sketches from a scene in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.” He wouldn’t reveal what the shot was of, but it looks like Baby Groot running with a small creature.
Gunn said the sketch is the first in a series he plans to share with fans called #WhatWeShotWednesday.
We can’t wait to see more. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” will be in theaters May 5, 2017.
