Who are we?
Quick background
Shane Burrell who is th founder of Final Post has been working in post production since the ripe age of 16. Starting his first editing business in Dubbo using the now “archived” Discreet Logic EDIT*.
Coming from a farming family and living in a rural city, this dream was quite ambitious, but through hard work and determination a business was made of it.
Always committed to working hard and not compromising, Shane’s journey has always been hallmarked by his passion to serve and give the best.
This was reflected in 2011 when Final Post was launched in Newcastle as a service directly to the growing number of indie film makers who were now shooting RAW workflows and couldn’t access the traditional post services needed to exploit this new found power.
In 2014, Shane and his brother Luke purchased a 1000sqm warehouse in order to build a DI theatre and expand the post production space, while also housing a branding agency and co-working suites. Now home to 50+ business and spread across two locations.
With limited access to colourists and support staff, the decision to move the DI theatre to Sydney was made and exploration underway for the perfect way to form a community of artists who could benefit from the access the theatre, along with other tools which would elevate and give access to the opportunities they deserve.
Co-working, Construction and other C words
With a long and deep history in poineering and creating, the logical next step is to draw on those experiences and see something like the colourist co-LAB come into existence.
The possibilities are endless and we’re excited to see where this journey will take us.
