  • Watchpost is a creative video production and post-production agency based in Adelaide, Australia. We help brands, organisations, and filmmakers tell their stories through strategy, production, editing, colour, VFX, sound, and final delivery.

  • We’re a proudly specialised video agency with over three decades of combined experience in film, video, and post-production. Rather than spreading ourselves thin, we focus on what we do best — leveraging our craft and agency know-how to deliver world-class, award-winning results.

    Alongside video, we support clients with strategy, copywriting, and execution, ensuring campaigns are both creative and effective. Many organisations with strong in-house marketing teams see us as their creative partner — an agency to execute specialised, focused brand strategies where video sits at the heart of the campaign.

  • Our in-house team covers the full production and post-production pipeline, with services including but not limited to:

    • Creative and content strategy

    • Scriptwriting and copywriting

    • Full-service production

    • Line production & fixing services for interstate and international productions

    • Commercials and brand films

    • Feature film & TV Post-Production

    • Social media content

    • Offline and online editing

    • Colour grading

    • Animation and motion design

    • Visual effects

    • Sound editing and finishing

    • Broadcast deliverables

  • Yes. While we are a full-service production agency, we also specialise in line production and fixing for inbound projects. With over 15 years’ experience filming across Australia, we bring deep local knowledge, logistical precision, and a trusted national crew network.

    We regularly support interstate and international productions — from agencies and production companies to global brands — helping them navigate the Australian landscape with confidence. From visas and permits to location scouting, crewing, casting, budgeting, and post handover, we manage the complexity so you can stay focused on the creative. Our goal is simple: to ensure your production runs smoothly, on time, on budget, and at the highest possible standard.

  • Yes! While we’re based in Adelaide, we regularly deliver projects across Australia and abroad. In fact, we are travel experts, having travelled to and filmed in over 25 countries on six of the seven continents, on all budgets in almost all conditions imaginable.

  • We guide projects from idea to delivery:

    1. Discovery — goals, audience, production scope and budget expectations

    2. Creative development — scripting and planning

    3. Production — filming with our crew

    4. Post-production — editing, grading, sound, animation, and VFX

    5. Delivery — files optimised for cinema, TV, online and socials

  • Budgets vary by scale and are influenced by elements like number of locations, number of shoot days needed, and post needs.

    Simple social pieces may cost a few hundred up to a few thousand dollars, while high-end brand films or broadcast projects can reach six figures. We are proud to work across all budget ranges and always provide clear estimates upfront, and solutions tailored to your goals and budget expectations.

  • We partner with not-for-profits, SME’s, local, state and federal government agencies, corporates, ad agencies, Higher Education Providers, and filmmakers. Recent work includes campaigns for Camp Quality, Codan, Minelab, Flinders University, Consunet, and Adelaide Primary Health Network.

  • Since 2012, we’ve had the privilege of working across a broad cross-section of industries for corporate, government, and not-for-profit clients. There’s almost no sector we haven’t touched, but we’ve developed particularly deep expertise in:

    • Higher education

    • Technology and manufacturing

    • Large infrastructure projects

    • Emerging technologies and defence

    • Primary industries (mining and agriculture)

    • Health

    • Tourism

    • Government

  • Yes. Many clients engage us solely for editing, colour grading, sound design, VFX, or finishing. We collaborate smoothly with external directors, agencies, and production companies.

  • Absolutely. We design content for each platform and deliver multiple aspect ratios, cut-downs, captions, and superless versions to maximise reach.

  • We combine the heart of storytellers with the strategic thinking of marketers and business owners, and the precision of post-production specialists. With a nimble team, years of business experience and acumen, and film-inspired approach, we create work that’s beautiful, purposeful and effective — from 15-second reels to long-form series and features.

  • Videographers are great operators for smaller projects that just need a shooter. As a full-service production company led by a veteran producer and director team, we’re versed in more complex methodologies and needs. Having a dedicated director and cinematographer as a core team enables a more bespoke approach and more attention to on-screen talent (including coaching).

    We can often work quicker and achieve a higher level of creative and technical quality. In short, for smaller jobs, a videographer is great. For more complex projects or those with more stakeholders, a team usually provides better results. The good news: we do both—and we offer affordable videography services backed by our broader capabilities.

  • Yes. We’re passionate about emerging and disruptive tech and have been building generative AI into our workflow for over two years. In August 2025 we created our first full product video using only AI. Speak to us if you’d like to explore this exciting new production workflow.
