Television City has teamed up with Orbital Studios to establish a state-of-the-art virtual production studio in Los Angeles' Fairfax District, located at 7800 Beverly Boulevard.
New Era for Television City
This LED volume facility represents Orbital Studios' commitment to providing top-tier virtual production solutions for projects of varying sizes and budgets. Anthony Mazziotti, Television City's executive director of stage operations and marketing, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, "We could not be more excited to welcome Orbital Studios to Television City. Their work puts this lot among the most advanced production environments anywhere, while honoring everything these stages have stood for. This is exactly the kind of partnership that keeps Television City both iconic and essential."
Keeping Production Local
While many productions have been moving to other states and countries, this partnership allows projects to capture global locations without leaving Los Angeles, preserving local jobs and production spending. This move is seen as a strategic effort to retain L.A.'s status as a hub for entertainment production.
Orbital Studios' Track Record
Orbital Studios is currently working on the FX series “The Drop: A Snowfall Saga.” Their previous projects include the Netflix series “Nemesis,” where they digitally reconstructed parts of downtown Los Angeles, “Justified: City Primeval,” “History’s Greatest Heists,” and the 20-part docuseries “World War II with Tom Hanks.”
Honoring Legacy with Innovation
A.J. Wedding, founder and CEO of Orbital Studios, highlighted the significance of the location, stating, "Walking these stages, you feel the weight of what was made here. Generations of crews poured everything they had into these rooms. That legacy makes us determined to get it right. We’re bringing the latest in virtual production technology and the most talented virtual art and AI artists inside spaces that helped define American television, because the best way to honor a storied place is to make sure the next great stories happen there, too."
