Recursive file organization?

Does anyone have any idea of how I can make something like the code below run recursively?

I'll run it on a tree of directories all with different names and all containing a sequence of .dpx files. I've tried to do it using find and exec but can't get it to work right.

What it needs to do is find .dpx files in any sub-directory and move them into a new directory called 2880x1640, in their current directory.

.../xyz_XXX_XXX/xyz_XXX_XXX.00000.dpx needs to become
.../xyz_XXX_XXX/2880x1640/xyz_XXX_XXX.00000.dpx

The file and it's parent directory are named identically, if that makes any difference.

It'll run in a bash shell.

Code:
for f in "$@"
do
mkdir $f/2880x1640
mv $f/*.dpx $f/2880x1640
done
