🎬 That`s a wrap on The Dispatcher!
After 20 weeks of shooting across Victoria, cameras have officially stopped rolling at Docklands Studios Melbourne.
With location filming across the stunning backdrops of Warrnambool, Portland, Mount Dandenong, Warburton, Somers, Hoddles Creek and more, regional Victoria was the true star of the show 🌟
And it`s a win for the economy, with 1,668 jobs created - 768 cast & crew, 900 background artists and 735 Victorian businesses supported 👏👏
Actor Brendan Cowell (who stars alongside Patrick Brammall and Maxine Peake) was on hand to show Victoria`s Creative Industries Minister Colin Brooks behind the scenes.

If you think prepping a wall at home is slow… spare a thought for our painters, who have hundreds of square metres to get through before a single drop of paint goes on. 🎨
Sound stage glow-ups don’t happen overnight!

Great to welcome the talented honours year film students from @swinburne University for a behind-the-scenes tour of our studio lot.
These future filmmakers got a glimpse of where the magic is made, and hopefully we`ll see some of them back here, working on a future production. 🎬

🎬 Not your average day on set!
Our sound stage turned into a test track for remote control cars, gimbals, and e-bikes as @XM2 and @filmtipspro ran a remote head workshop here at the studio.
Behind-the-scenes fun... a few grown-ups being big kids with some seriously cool toys. 🎮

We’re still crunching the numbers, but it`s definitely enough to keep our sound stages looking fresh and new.

🔥 Blast from the Past 🔥
20 years ago, Ghost Rider rolled into Melbourne and lit up our stages. 🏍💀
With Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes and a Hollywood budget it was one of the biggest productions this city had ever seen.
Filmed here on our studio lot (then known as Central City Studios), Ghost Rider turned Melbourne into a comic-book inferno with hundreds of crew, stunt actors and extras who proved the city could handle the heat. 🎥
