City doesn't matter. There's good and bad agencies in both. Get the best job possible in either city, then go there.

As a city, though, I prefer Sydney.

Sure. Melbourne has better culture, food, music, art, etc. It's also a bit cheaper. Sydney has amazing weather and beaches. Pros and cons to each, some great agencies in both

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative.

I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!
