More than 2 million viewers around the country tuned in to re-live the music and mullets of Never Tear Us Apart: The Untold Story of INXS. The two-part mini-series, directed by Diana Reid and produced by Shine Australia, showcases the band’s epic rise to international stardom and the demise that followed.
We’d like to say ‘congratulations’ to all the AACTA Awards winners who were recently recognised at the industry event held in Sydney, including several programs Blue Post contributed to.
Our new super fast internet connection, coupled with Aspera software, has enabled us to send 40-80 GB of Avid-ready media up the pipe to Sydney each night so editors can access high res files the following morning. A first for Blue Post, this new system replaces interstate couriers so rushes are available earlier than ever.
Rachel Knowles, Annelie Chapple and Jo Spillane join the team as we celebrate the opening of our Sydney office with three major TV projects: Puberty Blues Series 2 (Network 10), Power Games (Nine Network), and Carlotta (ABC TV).
Shooting has started on the 4th series of Offspring, the successful Southern Star/John Edwards comedy/drama for Network TEN.

Dirty Business is a three part series telling the extraordinary story of how mining made Australia.
