On Location
PDV Offset 30 percent finishing pipeline anchored across Animal Logic Sydney, Rising Sun Adelaide, Method Studios Melbourne
Our post-prod supervisor attachments cover features, prestige TV, commercials, and streaming series with full Screen Producers Australia (SPA) framework.
Here is how this works in practice. Working pipeline runs through Animal Logic Sydney (Happy Feet 2006 Best Animated Feature Oscar, Lego Movie franchise, Peter Rabbit), Rising Sun Pictures Adelaide (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Hunger Games, Fantastic Beasts), Method Studios Melbourne (formerly Iloura — Game of Thrones Battle of the Bastards Emmy, Thor Ragnarok), Range Films Sydney, Soundfirm Sydney/Melbourne (sound post), and boutique Avid Media Composer/Adobe Premiere Pro/DaVinci Resolve/Pro Tools facilities.
Here is the short of it. Productions structure through the PDV Offset 30 percent federal rebate (designed specifically to attract global post and VFX to Australia) stackable with Screen NSW 10 percent, Screen Queensland 10 percent, Film Vic 10 percent, ScreenWest 10 percent, Screen Tasmania 15 percent, and SAFC 5-10 percent state rebates — combined good rates above 40 percent on post-only spend.
Here is the breakdown. LA-Sydney 12-hour direct overnight workflow (LA late-night equals Sydney morning — overnight handoff standard) and US-Australia AUSFTA plus AUD ~1.55:1 USD favourable exchange make Australian post-oversight a routine finishing pipeline for Netflix, Amazon MGM, Apple TV+, HBO Max, Disney+, and Paramount+.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Deliverable spec running covers IMF (Interoperable Master Format), Dolby Vision HDR, Dolby Atmos immersive sound, Blu-ray UHD, IMAX, DCP theatrical, ProRes 4444 broadcast masters, and sites-specific mezzanines for Netflix Originals Spec, Amazon Studios Spec, and Apple ProRes 4K HDR. AFTRS Sydney (federal national school since 1973), VCA Melbourne, RMIT, Griffith Film School Brisbane, and SAE Institute (Aussie-founded, worldwide exported) train the post-oversight bench. Privacy Act 1988 / OAIC covers cutting-room and DI client data; MEAA, Fair Work Ombudsman, Superannuation 11 percent, GST 10 percent apply.
