I think the quality of the story will decide wether or not they focus more on the visuals themselves. This doesn't serve as an excuse to make a "poor quality" work. This also happens with live action movies. I can't reckon how many times my friends tell me "the movie was awful but at least the actress was hot so that made it worthwhile"... same goes for VFX-packed movies: "the movie sucks, but those VFX were extremely cool!" Just remember the Robert Rodrigez way: what an effects shot lacks in perfection, make up in style B) I am currently working on a project that also involves "natural motion" using human characters, and since I can't make them photorealistic look (because my skills on that department pretty much suck, lol) I am going after a "film noir"/"sky-capitanish" look hehe.
