Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Best Scenes - Baby Groot Best Moments A member of the Guardians who is a tree-like humanoid and the accomplice of Rocket. The character began growing from a sapling at the end of the first film with the intention of being fully grown by the sequel, but writer/director James Gunn eventually decided to keep him as "Baby Groot"; this decision contributed to Gunn's setting of the film only a few months after the first. Baby Groot does not have any of his previous memories. Gunn felt there was a larger awareness of the character during filming compared to the first film, for which Gunn and the cast "just kind of always forgot he was there," with the stand-in actor not having the same presence that Sean Gunn did portraying Rocket. Diesel added that Baby Groot "couldn't be more naive" and felt the Groot seen in the first film was "a college level Groot. He's not fully grown yet, but he's a man... now he has to start all over, so to speak. So we're going to see this goofy, adorable, baby Groot thing running around the screen. Just kinda learning as he goes." Prop master Russell Bobbitt created a 1:1 scale model of the 10-inch (25 cm) Baby Groot for filming, to use "as a lighting reference and sometimes puppeteered against the actors during the filming of scenes." As Groot only communicates with the phrase "I am Groot" in different inflections, Gunn created a "Groot Version" of the script for himself and Diesel, which contains each of Groot's lines in English. Diesel used a higher register of his voice for Baby Groot, which was then pitched up by seven to nine semitones depending on the take, to achieve "the proper nuance". He also delivered the lines slowly to avoid any time stretching issues that would affect the compression. Diesel recorded Groot's voice for sixteen foreign-language releases of the film, up from six in the first film. Sean Gunn provided on-set reference for adolescent Groot in the post-credit sequence For more videos : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-F6IWWLvfj6VW6j08pXo4A
