Recent Updates
We do not know anything as of now about his latest projects. But he keeps on sharing about his works and thoughts on his Instagram account.
Recently in an interview with thatshelf.com, Dork Shelf asked about his experience of working in animated movies and how is it like to work with a lot of moving parts with new technology. To this Rob Minkoff responded,
“Well, scenes like that are so detail-oriented that they definitely take a huge, extra effort from everyone to make them work. But what made this film unusually – even by the standards of making animated movies today – is that we had to create hundreds of individual characters for these scenes. In a typical animated movie, you would have one location or one set and you would have extras in the movie that would populate this world. But they would come from one design and one template. For this movie, we had to have unique designs for unique individuals. We had to have them in France, Egypt, Troy, and anywhere we went, and everywhere that we went we had to have an entirely different set of characters. We ended up creating over 3,900 individual characters for this movie, and that had never been done before”.
