Kevin Weldon AO Soundstage
Our flagship soundstage offers versatile dry hire production space on the Gold Coast.
This stage is designed for comfort, sound-dampening, darkness, and coolness, accommodating everything from intimate drama shoots to large-scale commercial productions, simulation travel, stunt sequences, motion capture, EPK shoots, pre-visualisation, and choreography. Film it here.
Chrysaor Studios honours the legacy of Christopher Amos' great-uncle, Kevin Weldon AO (1933–2023).
Uncle Kevin founded Hanna-Barbera Australia in 1972. the country's first large-scale animation studio, which, through Southern Star Group, evolved into what is now Endemol Shine Australia, part of global content giant Banijay (producers of MasterChef, Married at First Sight, and Australian Survivor).
