“We are recognised both internationally and domestically for our exceptional post-production capabilities, consistently high creative standards, excellent technical standards and service that exceeds expectations. “With the help of the Federal and Queensland PDV incentives, our Queensland studio recently completed full picture and sound post as well as (through partner Resin) extensive visual effects on the Singaporean, large-scale action feature Heavens: The Boy and His Robot. Working remotely with the Singaporean-based director, we took the film from edit through to delivery for theatrical release.”

Bronwyn Ketels, General Manager, The Post Lounge

“We are proud to partner on various productions that come through our Brisbane and Gold Coast studios. Across all our sites, we can provide complete post services for large scale feature films, television series and independent productions. Our Queensland facilities give us the flexibility to find a post pathway that is best suited to individual productions. We understand that no two projects are the same. As a production, you benefit from the flexibility of our state-of-the-art systems and software, which include Avid, Premiere Pro, Baselight, Resolve, Flame & Transkoder workflows with the creatives, production & technical teams to back it up across all our studio’s suites, theatres and sound stages.”

Sally Wortley, Features & Television Producer, Cutting Edge

“Alt.VFX in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley has been awarded every major craft award in the business for the quality of its VFX work, much of which has been based around the company’s expertise in creating photo-real creatures and animals. A focused and passionate crew, our team of around 55 artists and producers have brought their skills to a wide variety of film, television and commercials, working with directors such as Jane Campion, Rian Johnson, Garth Davis, Abe Forsyth, and more.”
