Guy Hendrix Dyas earned a Master's degree from the Royal College of Art in London and holds a BA from the Chelsea School of Art and Design. He began his career in Tokyo working as an industrial designer for Sony under the supervision of the company's legendary founder, Akio Morita. During that time, an exhibition of Dyas' personal works led to an invitation from Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) to join their team in California, where he began his film career as the visual effects Art Director on "Twister." From there, Dyas developed his skills as a concept artist on a number of films, including Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes," the Wachowski brothers' "The Matrix Reloaded," and Guillermo Del Toro's "Mimic." His first production design assignment was "X2: X-Men United" for Bryan Singer, followed closely by Terry Gilliam's whimsical fantasy "The Brothers Grimm."
Dyas most recently collaborated with Christopher Nolan on his ambitious sci-fi thriller "Inception" and he won a Goya Award for Best Production Design for his work on Alejandro Amenabar's "Agora," which premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. Dyas previously received three consecutive Art Directors Guild Award nominations for his production design work on Steven Spielberg's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," Shekhar Kapur's "Elizabeth: The Golden Age," and "Superman Returns" for Bryan Singer. He also earned a BAFTA Award nomination for Best Production Design for "Elizabeth: The Golden Age."
