One Piece Live-Action Adaptation by Netflix is getting ready for the second season, after a successful first season last year. The series lived up to the expectations of One Piece fans in all departments, whether it was the cast, the story modification, or the character portrayal. However, the one thing that impressed the fans the most was the brilliant editing and VFX.
Straw Hat Pirates in One Piece Live-Action
The One Piece Live-Action had four editors, namely Kevin D. Ross, Tessa Verfus, Eric Litman, and Tirsa Hackshaw. The editors were able to bring the epic world created by Eiichiro Oda to real life, and now their work is only going to get even harder as the story will introduce new elements to the series.
Impressing the One Piece fanbase is not an easy job. The One Piece fandom is too particular with any new project that is related to the series.

Lori Petty, a likable actress in such films as “A League of Their Own” and “Point Break, ” makes her directorial debut with a very personal story about her harrowing childhood living with a drug-addicted mother. While the film has strong moments and performances, it illustrates the dangers of overly personal filmmaking. Petty's passion for the subject is unmistakable; what's missing is the clarity that a true artist would provide. Few viewers will want to subject themselves to the seamy slice-of-life depicted in this memoir.
This lack of clarity is evident first of all in a very unkempt structure. Petty thrusts us right into the dangerous life of Agnes (Jennifer Lawrence) and her two younger sisters. While a brief flashback sequence, done in the style of grainy home movies, is designed to explain how Agnes's family was ripped apart, it doesn't really accomplish that feat. We spend a long time trying to comprehend the dynamics within the drug house where Agnes struggles to survive. The verbose voice-over narration doesn't help. Too many story points remain murky. When Agnes appears for a basketball game at the movie's finale, it comes as something of a shock because we had no idea she was even attending school.
Lawrence has a touching poise on camera that conveys the resilience of children. Sophia Bairley and Chloe Grace Moretz as her sisters also perform admirably. The surprise of the movie is Selma Blair, who gives a stark, uncompromising performance as Agnes's mother that may be the best of her career. On the other hand, David Alan Grier-who also co-authored the screenplay with Petty-delivers a showy, bewildering turn as an eccentric barroom drunk.
Those who survived abusive childhoods may feel a strong connection to the material. Other moviegoers will applaud Petty's intentions but feel alienated from the squalid, chaotic universe presented here. The editing by Tirsa Hackshaw doesn't help us to get our bearings. Mike Post's haunting score is an asset.
