xRez was formed by Eric Hanson, Greg Downing and Ron Shirley, and is paving new ground in the usage of large-scale panoramic images. The site is very engaging and full of stunning work!

Just wrapped up a VFX shot for a music DVD by legendary thrash metal band Vio-lence, soon to be released by Megaforce Records Worldwide.
Also worked on an animated short showcased at the 4th Annual VES Awards show this year. The project was a tribute to Pixar's John Lasseter, and was shown alongside other shorts done by Pixar, ILM, and Sony Imageworks. Not only was it an honor to work on the project, but word has it Mr. Lasseter requested a copy!
