TESTIMONIALS

Having never worked with Masters of Reality before HOA, both Charlie and I are more than happy with our experience.  Communication is timely and professional, questions to us are intelligent, the work is reliable and of a high standard, and when flexibility is needed, from either side, it is there.

Helene Takacs, VFX Producer: Spartacus: House of Ashur (STARZ/Lionsgate)

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.

Frank Rueter, VFX Supervisor: Maxxxine (A24)

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)

I really enjoyed the collaboration, found the process to be smooth and love the end result. Hope to do more with you and your team in the future.
