Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has been active on social media since before he even landed the Guardians job, and it’s been really cool following that production via his Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram posts. You never know what he’s going to offer up on any given day, but he’s been on a roll lately on Instagram, sharing a ton of behind-the-scenes images from Guardians. Earlier this week we reported on an Easter egg no one had spotted yet, but that’s just the tip of the Instagram iceberg. You can see some of the highlights from the ongoing barrage of awesome below, along with Gunn’s captions to provide context.

#gotgpicoftheday Why visual effects artists are so very important. Without them 'OH YEAH!' would look like this! #GotG #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy A photo posted by James Gunn (@jamesgunn) on Nov 11, 2014 at 9:22am PST

#gotgpicoftheday #GuardiansoftheGalaxy is out in Digital HD tomorrow (late tonight perhaps!) on iTunes and other platforms. Who is going to watch it, either again or for the first time? And who do you want to watch it with? A photo posted by James Gunn (@jamesgunn) on Nov 11, 2014 at 1:38pm PST

#gotgpicoftheday Chris Fairbank as the Broker. Chris was one of my favorite actors to work with. A true British master, he brought heart and humanity to a role that could have otherwise been played as a one-note snob. Like many of the characters in #GuardiansoftheGalaxy, the Broker is a lot more than what he at first seems to be. #GotG A photo posted by James Gunn (@jamesgunn) on Nov 11, 2014 at 10:55am PST
