Framestore delivered pivotal visual effects for Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the beloved manga and anime ONE PIECE, encompassing a wide range of tasks, including character concept and design, environment effects, and most notably, bringing to life the extraordinary abilities of the “devil fruit” powers for main character Luffy and fan-favorite villain, Buggy.
Based on Japan's highest-selling manga series in history by Eiichiro Oda, ONE PIECE is a legendary high-seas adventure centered around protagonist Monkey D. Luffy's quest to find the legendary fabled treasure, the One Piece, and become the King of the Pirates.
Framestore was tasked to help realize the ""gum gum"" superpowers of Luffy that allow him to stretch like rubber, the ""chop chop"" superpowers of Buggy the Clown, a pirate who can split his body into floating dismembered pieces, and deliver multiple explosive shots during the fight scene in episode 5 when pirate Don Krieg's ship is split in half and character Mihawk splits a cannon ball aimed at him. Additionally, our involvement extended to the design of Don Krieg’s shoulder cannon while the Art Department conceptualized the adorable mail-carrying sea birds, known as the News coo birds in the world of ONE PIECE, which our visual effects team brought to life.
