Yeah, I think Buggy said it best with, "Where's the dancing lion?" I think the show creators were very aware of what they could or could not accomplish with their budget, and Arlong seems to be the limit. Interested to see how they tackle Chopper. If they can get the requisite amount of CG to do that well without landing in the uncanny valley, the sky may very well be the limit (next stop Skypiea).
Whatever the paddington and rocket racoon folks did worked well. I think the same techniques could be applied to chopper.
Here's an example of what paddington cgi looks like if you're unfamiliar: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sw7RElt-SvE
Here's rocket racoon: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J_BGhNW6hSY&pp=ygUNcm9ja2V0IHJhY29vbg%3D%3D
I think chopper in the same style as either of them would look good.
Agreed that it's possible, just very very expensive to make it look good. For Chopper, I think they'll pay up, but I'll bet there will be a lot of devil fruit users who get cut purely because showing them on screen costs too much money for too little payoff. Which is unfortunate, but understandable.
Yep, didn't hachi get cut from arlong park? Those tentacles are too hard to make.
That was my thought as well. If they're not going to composite Arlong's nose into every shot, a whole octopus man is far out of the question. But so help me God if they cut Karoo...
