He was also the Second Unit Director for both films. He earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Achievement in Visual Effects for Star Trek, which he shared with Russell Earl, Paul Kavanagh, and Burt Dalton. Star Trek marked Guyett's second collaboration with director and producer J.J. Abrams following the 2006 Paramount Pictures release Mission: Impossible III. In 2010 Guyett, Earl, Kavanagh, and Dalton received a Saturn Award nomination for Best Special Effects for their work on Star Trek.

(1996, featuring Michael Reilly Burke, Willie Garson and Paul Winfield). He was the associate visual effects supervisor for Speed 2: Cruise Control and the visual effects co-supervisor for Saving Private Ryan (1998) before being named visual effects supervisor at ILM.
In addition to Star Trek and Mission: Impossible III, Guyett has supervised ILM's visual effects team on two of the Harry Potter films, 2001's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and 2004's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
