Three years ago, the post production sector went into the annual SPAA conference with a looming sense of catastrophe. At the least, it was the beginning of a period of company and technical turmoil, which Dominic Case pulls into a coherent narrative.
The last couple of years has seen some apparent upheavals in the pattern of post production business ownership in Australia.

Meanwhile Fuel was acquired by Animal Logic, and Cutting Edge expanded into Melbourne, taking over Active Motion’s premises.
