Geoff Huegill: Be-Your-Best - Hunt For Gold
Post Op Group Pty Ltd is proud to announce its involvement in the production of a world first documentary titled Geoff Huegill: Be-Your-Best - Hunt For Gold
Geoff Huegill: Be-Your-Best - Hunt For Gold is a powerful one hour documentary which tells the story of Geoff Huegill which is one of the greatest comebacks in Australian sport history. An up close and personal self portrait of a man against all the odds and finally back on the starting blocks after retreating into a self-imposed exile for six years. Geoff's life is an incredible story of courage, determination and everything that stands for being an Australian. The Geoff "Skippy" Huegill documentary is a rare and remarkable journey as we see Geoff go from Australian hero to zero after self-destructing and hitting rock bottom and then making the most of a “second chance”. An inspiring story of finding that inner strength, to return to the peak of his powers in the competitive, elite level of international swimming and in the process regaining his hero status and finding his way back into the hearts of Australians.
Geoff Huegill: Be-Your-Best - Hunt For Gold is a co-production between Be-Your-Best Entertainment and Post Op Group through a joint venture: Red Blood Cell Productions. Not only did Post Op Group supply Post Production Facilities including editing, audio and colour grading but its team helped in the pitch development, creative design and production management. The outcome is a high quality and compelling documentary produced in a cost effective and timely manner. And the documentary co-production process has led to a number of new partnerships with other Programme development companies. Post Op Group is commitment to building not only a world class production facility but also help fostering content development through partnerships.
Geoff Huegill: Be-Your-Best - Hunt For Gold, Premiered Wednesday, February 15 at 7.30pm AEDT exclusively on FOXTEL’S Bio Channel

Rebrand
We are very excited to reveal our new website and
brand identity to the industry
We firmly believe that our
whole is stronger than our individual parts, and we have a unique
opportunity to help our customers achieve greater success through
operational efficiencies in the one company.
Historically, our group of companies has been a family of separate businesses servicing specific segments of our industry – The Sergery (Audio), Babylonia (Vision), Klinik (Graphics/Design) and Northern Cross Communications (Hire). As part of a strategic transformation that began last year, the Post Op Group’s new brand strategy communicates the “bringing together” of these businesses and strengthens the company’s position to capitalise on its diverse capabilities in a truly integrated way.
At the heart of Post Op Group’s brand strategy is a new logo composed of simple geometric shapes derived from key values we feel strongly about. These values include Quality, Service, Passion and Integrity. The new logo forms a visual connection to our multi-faceted, multi-dimensional business model, signaling a unification of the company's core offerings. Our new identity is one of the powerful ways we are communicating the evolution of our business.

TVCs and longform solutions can be tailor-made for any production budget. From the latest digital cameras including the ARRI Alexa to final real-time grade our group’s and partners’ combined knowledge, experience and superior service, promises the sky as the limit.

Post Op Group invests in Sony SRW-5800 HDCam SR Deck technology
As the perfect accompaniment to our DaVinci Resolve Grading Suite
and Dolby E encoding, the Sony SRW-5800 provides another vital link
in the chain to Post Op Group’s high end work flow for TVCs and
features.
Its capabilities include: HDCAM-SR Format Recording, Creating Visually lossless images, 1080 Recording and Playback, 720P Recording and Playback, 4:2:2/1080/60P and 50P Mode, 4:4:4 High Quality (HQ) Mode, Internal Format Conversion, 4K/2K to HD Resizing and 4K/2K Uncompressed DPX Data Recording.
Post Op Group adds Dolby E DP571 Encoder and DP572 Decoder to audio mastering capabilities
Developed by Dolby Laboratories, Dolby E allows up to 8 channels of
audio plus Dolby Digital metadata to be compressed into a digital
stream that can be stored on a standard stereo pair of digital audio
tracks.
Dolby® E eases the transition from two-channel to multichannel audio
for DTV broadcasters and program producers.
The encoded program material can be decoded for use in broadcast and
post production facilities prior to final DTV and HDTV transmission.
Dolby E is a standard deliverable specification for most
international distributors.
