It has been an enormous pleasure working with MOR on Season 1. They have heaps to be proud of on the show. Their work has been tidy and consistent and did lots of it, yet always with creative flair.

The team at MOR have delivered great quality, high end VFX on over 150 shots for Ti West's latest feature film Maxxxine with us. Their friendly, reliable communications make them a pleasure to work with.

Taratoa Stappard, Director: Mārama (Sweetshop & Green)
Big thanks to Caleb and his team at MOR. They did a wonderful job on La Brea season 2, helping us to seamlessly integrate our Rhino family. It always looks easy when it works, however it takes a good eye and years of experience to have the beasts really feel like they are there in the shot.
Andrew Hellen, VFX Supervisor: La Brea (NBC)
Working with MOR was a dream for us. They made the whole process clear, simple and easy for us to navigate.
Adam King, Director (VLDL)
