MTF Semester 2 – Week 9 – 04/10/07

We visited one of Australia’s premiere postproduction facilities Oasis Post. From high-end commercials to feature films and DVDs it looks like Oasis Post has it all covered. Oasis is part of the Kojo Group and our tour guide Marty is an owner. To see such a simply laid out set up is inspiring but of course the reality is that it is all held together with probably millions worth of the latest technology. I was really interested to hear how high end movies are rendered down to add sound then final touches added at full HD. Scott Hicks and Greg McLean have finished their films here. There are countless commercials I recognise in their showreel on their website. http://www.oasispost.com.au/index.asp

It is obvious that these guys are based in Adelaide. The support they show for local artist is fantastic. They filmed and produced the new Hilltop Hoods DVD with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and on their showreel they have The Hot Lies and Ben Folds when he was based here. It is amazing to see that the post-production for a project could all be done in the same building.

This is a very impressive facility and as with most of the places I’ve seen. I WANT ONE.
