Chris is the President and Visual Effects Supervisor of Frantic Films, a company he founded in March of 1997. Focused on bringing science and art together, Bond has directed the development of a variety of tools including fluid-based simulation at Frantic Films Software Inc. Frantic Films' research and development of custom propriety software has been used extensively in feature films to provide custom solutions to challenging projects. This is most recently illustrated in Superman Returns in a variety of forms, foremost as silt simulation, fluid surface dynamics and interaction, crystal growth research and billions of simulated particles per frame to create a virtual liquid "sun".
