Miami-based Lincoln Road Advisors, headed by Eric Bertrand, is the primary investment company behind Origin.
In addition to its Burbank headquarters, Origin Digital Studios also has studios in New York and Albuquerque, NM. The company expects to open additional studios in Atlanta, Georgia, during the coming year.
“Our Burbank studio is located in one of Fotokem’s production centers, which instantly allows us the ability to connect to their high speed networks which cross the country,” explained company president Mark Miller. “With their nextLAB and Global Data technology, our clients can get plates to us simply and quickly, no matter where they are based. Our studio in New York is fiber connected to Fotokem’s network, to ease the transport of information to our Burbank location. The same will hold true for each of our future studio locations. These unique services allow us to do what most other mid-level VFX companies simply cannot.”
