Founded in 1984 by Andrew Berend, Mike Boudry, and Nick Pollock. Andrew come from a motion-control background and had previously formed Computer FX Ltd. and worked for the Moving Picture Company. Mike was the hardware guy, and Nick was software. Neil Harris joined in 1986 as a software programmer also. The intent at CFC from the very beginning was full frame digital manipulation and compositing of live action footage. This was a unique charter among startup CG facilities, that is not to be primarily concerned with vector or raster computer generated imagery.

Fun Fact! -
In August of 1997 CFC sold 100% ownership to MegaloMedia which also owns London's Frame Store post house and the Sachi & Sachi company. Today, alongside Domino, Cineon, Matador and Flame systems, CFC still uses their original Benchmark computer systems, a true testament to how far ahead that technology was when first designed over a dozen years ago.
