Walt Disney Pictures – The Lion King

Rob served as the Visual Effect Supervisor on this film, collaborating with Director Jon Favreau (for the 2nd time following The Jungle Book). For this film, Rob helped create a new workflow around the concept of “live action animation”. The entire movie was CG, but contained a photorealistic aesthetic that made it look like documentary footage. Key to the asset pipeline was the creation of a customized version of the Unity game engine used to create the visuals.
