HDR AI Video Production in Sydney

AI generators hand you an 8-bit SDR file. Sydney clients who need an HDR master for streaming, YouTube HDR or large-format screens need more than that. We generate at the ceiling, uplift through Topaz Hyperion 2.5 and grade in a colour-managed Resolve pipeline to a master that passes QC.

Why Sydney Clients Work With ApostleNO. /01

Sydney is where most national TVC and BVOD campaigns are cleared and delivered, and where Apostle's studio, grading suite and freelancer network are based.

This is where we are. The studio, the grading suite and the freelancer network are on Sydney's lower north shore, and most national TVC and BVOD work is cleared and delivered from here.

Our Bankwest brand film, about 95% AI-generated imagery, was produced and finished here.
