Origin Point

What Origin Point does

Origin Point is a private, founder-owned creative production studio headquartered in Los Angeles, California, offering end-to-end video production services across Creative (concepting, scripting, pre-vis, storyboarding), Production (creative direction, crews, international location work, virtual production via LED volume capture and Unreal Engine, cinema-quality RED camera equipment), Post Production (offline editing, sound, color grading including HDR finishing, VFX, GFX, 3D), and Marketing (social strategy, web/UX). The studio combines cloud-based workflows with local editing suites and integrates AI-assisted tools (Strada for transcription/translation, Frame.io Camera-to-Cloud for real-time client review) to enable remote collaboration at any production stage.

The studio serves a roster of enterprise clients that includes Netflix, National Geographic, Intel, KitchenAid, Sephora, AT&T, T-Mobile, General Motors, Kingston, HyperX, Kettle & Fire, RED Digital Cinema, Barco, Invesco QQQ, KitchenAid, Byte, and the Hollywood Professional Association, with work spanning commercial production, branded documentaries, narrative content, and event/association programming. Notable 2024 work includes six chapters of Netflix's Virtual Production Playbook, the Barco Lightsteering HDR campaign showcased at CinemaCon 2024, and the award-winning 'Tribute to Post' featurette for HPA. The studio operates a sub-brand, Origin Point Rentals, offering RED cameras and accessories with online quoting and reservation, and produces the OPT IN podcast hosted by Creative Director Jason Mitcheltree.

Revenue comes primarily from professional-services fees on production and post-production engagements and a smaller transactional stream from equipment rentals; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct enterprise sales supplemented by industry trade show presence (NAB, CinemaCon, Cinegear), portfolio and content marketing, and a multi-platform social footprint. The team is small (a creative core led by Creative Directors Clyde Bessey and Jason Mitcheltree, Executive Producer Andrea Bessey, and producers Tyler Heckerman, Kelly Pratt, and marketing coordinator Christian Aniceto), with no disclosed outside funding, parent company, or acquisition activity.
