Foundation Content announces the opening of their stage, a dedicated pre-rigged, pre-calibrated production environment with the necessary amenities for full-scale commercials, television, features, and video games. Housed in the Eric Owen Moss famous Cactus Tower Building on Hayden Tract in Culver City, Foundation’s LA facility bridges the gap between post and production by bringing a cyc stage (30′ x 40′ and 12′ to the grid), broadcast calibrated client lounge, fully outfitted editing suites, production and conference rooms all into one 5,632 square foot self-contained space.
"It’s exciting to see the new division in LA really taking off, collaborating so well and seamlessly with our Chicago team,” says Evan Cohen, Vice President of Production. "We’re looking forward to the continued growth this inspired space offers." Open only a month, the stage has already been the backdrop for projects as diverse as the online game Rift, a Focus Creeps shoot for the UK based band Arctic Monkeys and a series of online ads for Progressive Insurance directed by James Lipetzky for the Arnold Agency.
It offers a versatile space for internal and third party projects where clients enjoy an accommodating, efficient, and indie culture that is unique to Foundation. The stage is designed to be as turnkey as possible, from simple green screen work to complicated camera tracking. It’s adjacent screening room conveniently allows clients to view action via plasma, and is equipped with craft service and conferencing amenities.
