[@sonozaki0000]

It seems inherent, to be honest, as if vlogs are just naturally the best evolution of behind-the-scenes. Something about it being done from a personal viewpoint -- what she says, who and what she chooses to record, and the tone she sets from her emotions about each part of the process -- is a lot of fun. Because someone else in a different role, whether a co-star or a member of the crew, could make the process seem like an entirely different film! A professional project is best for posterity and serious education but this, for fun insight and knowledge, is great.

Karen, I gotta tell you that you did an awesome job for your role as Nebula. Nebula's one of my favorite members of the GOTGs (That, Peter, Gamora, Drax, Groot, Rocket, and Mantis, because they're funny and cool.). Keep up the good work and merry Christmas.

The best behind-the-scenes of anything I've ever watched. You can actually get a feel for what it's like to work on a movie like this. Here's hoping more actors make these kinds of videos! Also, it doesn't hurt that Karen Gillan is charming and you can see the crew genuinely likes her.

As a movie buff. This was very intriguing to see how you guys actually work on and off the screen on a movie set. And damn man being a movie actor/actresses has to be so exchusting. Even doing the press and promos. Even the behind the scenes crews gotta be tiring to as well. Thanks Karen

[@christophercraft957]

It's weird that too many people think it's so easy and don't realize that it is an actual job.

[@MovieMuscle]

@@christophercraft957 We often spend 15hrs on set or more ( a standard day would be 10-12 plus travel time there and back), wear summer clothes in winter, winter clothes in summer, beat our bodies up in scenes, get injured by sets, have your skin torn off as FX makeup is removed, spend hours in cold water, covered in mud, shooting in the rain, and still have to have all your scenes ready to go for the next day. I have had days where I have to sit still in a makeup chair for 8 hours. They don't want you to talk or eat certain things as it breaks down the heavy FX makeup.You get 8 hours turn around. Which after you drive home, eat, get ready for bed, and drive back to set...lucky if you get 5 hours sleep. Then you leave set and hop a plane across the country to do another show you're on. People have no idea what it's like. Family, friends, and partners hate it. You make plans and the phone rings...they need you on set or a last minute audition etc etc. I've done some seriously hard jobs before film and film was the hardest on my body and mind. I did construction, worked as a communication tower rigger ( one of the deadliest jobs in the world), ran boats on The Great Lakes for 13hr plus days, mechanic, mover, all before film. Film was harder. If you can stick it out there is a reward for some but most make a lousy income. It can be some wild life moments though. Nothing like having 2000 people on a big blockbuster all watch you do your thing and cheer when you knock it out of the park. More fail than succeed and many end up unmarried.

I appreciate her filming the process, we need more behind the scenes for more movies from the perspective of the actors on set/the production crew. Inspire more people to act, direct and produce by showing the process and what it takes to make something great. Also, they could be practicing anywhere but they have an entire set that looks like a ship to help them with the imagination aspect of being on set and although thats mostly due to being a larger corporation I would love to see more production studios doing this as opposed to the actors having to use 100% of their imagination for every shot.

[@codmanout9861]

The era of the BTS is sadly dying off fairly quickly. I think either audiences or studios are just losing interest. I mean, 10 years ago, literally any DVD you bought had special features equaling or surpassing the length of the movie it accompanied, composed of blooper reels, behind the scenes, production featurettes, not to mention audio commentaries from the writers/directors, cast, and/or crew. These days, you're lucky to get a blooper reel or production demo, and heaven forbid someone even mentions a commentary.
