Grant Gill established his own post production and VFX services company in 1998. Prior to that he had been trained in all aspects of TV and radio operations at the ABC. He was on the bleeding edge of PayTV in Australia working for Optus Vision and Sports Australia, editing, designing, compositing and 3D-ing for programme graphic packages and promos.

He has worked on everything from 2" tape through to Smoke, 3d Studio V3(dos) to 3DSMAX 2012. Combustion, After Effects, Flame and more recently Nuke. His clients include ABC, Ch7, Ch9, Ch10, Foxtel, OptusVision, many of Sydney's major Post Production companies and many advertising agencies. He has handled corporate, broadcast, advertising, online and film projects.

Grant is always looking for ways to streamline the process, to maximise the creativity and the output and minimise the headaches and the hassle. Desktop applications and hardware have come a long, long way in the last two decades and have enabled him to remain creative and competitive in our demanding industry.
