Character Evaluation
Rob Minkoff is good at directing animated films
. He is a director with a high level of drawing. He is not so much like a Hollywood artist as a programmer in Zhongguancun
. In the movie "Mr. Peabody & Sherman", its story focuses on the sincere feelings between father and son, and this is what he is good at .
In the movie "The Lion King", Rob Minkoff focused on warm colors in color processing, placing complementary colors side by side and emphasizing the contrast of colors. The composition of the entire movie is entirely oil-painting and heavy-color style, giving the audience a feeling of warmth and reverence. As the plot progresses layer by layer, the colors match the growth and emotional changes of the characters, slowly unfolding the picture of life in the African savannah. The colors flow with the music, but they also have the inherent color of the dramatic "pause". The whole film fully embodies Rob Minkoff's perfect unified color style of impressionism and constructivism .
