'TMNT: Mutant Mayhem' Director on Ensuring Animators Were Respected and Well-Rested
The Big Picture Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem has been a surprise hit critically and commercially since its release last week. Hitting excellent box office numbers, the movie has been lauded for its wit, laughs, heart and superb animation. The reason for the latter, according to director Jeff Rowe was down to a demand that he and producer Seth Rogen made of the animators—to get enough rest.
Rowe spoke with Insider and highlighted that he, along with producers Rogen and Evan Goldberg, were mindful of not overburdening their team while working on the new TMNT movie. In his conversations with Rogen, Rowe discovered that the duo valued this balance at their production company, Point Gray. Rogen shared his perspective on live-action projects, explaining that sometimes the team would be on set for 40 consecutive days, which could be physically and mentally draining.
"Let's Figure That Out" "We'd be like, 'Great, let's figure that out, and let's accommodate that because that's your process and that's what leads you to make your best art,'" Rowe said. "And we would often do that with most of the team and just try to make sure everyone always felt supported."
