The Butchery now open in Sydney

The Butchery, the creative editorial studio, has opened a Sydney office in the Woolloomooloo area, with both local and interstate talent.

As a result of a long standing collaboration, Brisbane firm Alt.vfx will share the new facility with The Butchery, and together will offer premium editorial, colour grading and visual effects under one roof.

The Butchery has worked consistently with clients in Sydney over several years, and opening in Woolloomooloo will allow its editors to work more seamlessly between cities.
