Biography
From world champion skydiver to pre-vis pioneer
Guy Manos is a former world champion skydiver and multiple world record holder turned screenwriter, film director and veteran stuntman. A graduate of the University of Miami Film School, he has bridged the gap between extreme sports and cinematic storytelling.
Widely regarded as an early pioneer of pre-visualization (pre-vis), Guy helped establish production planning methods now standard across the film industry. He is The Film Co-Operative’s technical architect and main consultant for our VFX and software engineering team, and the technical mind behind CineLogic’s innovations, delivering tools and techniques that significantly reduce production costs while sharpening creative precision.
His Hollywood career took flight with high-octane projects such as Cliffhanger, True Lies, Eraser, Point Break and Drop Zone, and his credits go on to include Ultraviolet, Iron Man 3, Nightcrawler, Destroyer, Medieval and Cutaway, bringing rare technical authenticity to major studio productions. His expertise and fearless vision have earned him lasting respect in both the skydiving and film communities.
