Omnilab to build HD studio for MNC

Duo ink outsourcing deal

SYDNEY -- Post facility Omnilab Media and Movie Network Channels have inked a long-term outsourcing deal under which the effects house will build a studio for the channels.

Omnilab handles all post work for Movie Network Channels, which is a joint venture between Village Roadshow, Warner Bros., MGM and Disney/ABC. It has four channels -- Movie One, Movie Two, Movie Extra and Movie Greats -- on paybox Foxtel.

As part of the pact the post house will build an HD facility at Movie Network Channels HQ.

"This new deal is a significantly different style of service provision with a new post, design and audio facility being installed at our premises with a complete changeover to Final Cut Pro technology, desktop and suites," said Movie Network Channels topper Tony Forrest.

The facility is scheduled for completion in August.
