Blue Post

Blue Post is an independent Australian post-production company working across feature films, scripted television and feature documentaries. Its core work spans picture finishing, colour grading, visual effects and workflow engineering, supporting productions from camera-original material through to finished broadcast, streaming and theatrical masters. Founded in 2003 by producer and post-production supervisor Peter Millington and editor Peter Carrodus, the company developed around the transition to digital acquisition and non-linear finishing.

With facilities in Melbourne and Sydney, Blue Post supports Australian and international productions through connected editorial and finishing workflows. Its services encompass rushes processing, data backup, offline editing facilities, online conform, creative grading, visual effects and quality control. Productions can hire networked editorial rooms or have editing systems deployed directly into their own production offices.

From acquisition to delivery

At the start of a project, Blue Post handles camera-raw backups, technical verification, proxy generation and review distribution. Optional one-light dailies grading helps prepare material for editorial, while near-set transfer deployments support productions working away from the main facilities. These services connect acquisition and offline editing with the later finishing stages.

Online editing includes conforming the offline cut, cleaning up shots, adding or removing visual elements and preparing final masters. Colour grading covers theatrical presentation, UHD HDR10, Dolby Vision and SDR, allowing projects to be finished for different display and distribution requirements. Quality-control services assess broadcast specifications, file integrity and photosensitive epilepsy requirements before delivery.

The internal Blue Post VFX department provides 2D compositing, 3D imagery, digital matte painting, set extensions, environment builds and particle or fluid simulation. Its flexible production pipeline supports visual effects alongside the company’s broader picture-finishing work.

Blue Post serves domestic broadcasters and international streaming platforms, with work spanning television drama, comedy, feature films and documentaries. Its boutique operating approach combines editorial flexibility with technical support across the production and post-production process.
