Peachy colour graded live action, archive, animation and interviews for this TV show, giving it a strong and confident feel that reflected the bold and satirical tone of the content.

 

Produced by Warner Bros Australia for Paramount Plus, “The Betoota Advocate Presents…” features satirical media platform The Betoota Advocate‘s Errol Parker and Clancy Overall presenting the modern history of Australia that nobody really talks about – for a reason. This series tackles four pillars of Australian history. Corruption, money, religion and tribalism.

 

Brisbane-based Senior Colourist Angela Cerasi remotely colour graded the series for Peachy Keen Colour, collaborating with the creative team at Warner Bros Australia in Sydney.  The process was seamless and simple.

 

On creating this original series, Editor At Large, Errol Parker and Editor, Clancy Overall said in this article:

 

“As Australia’s oldest and favourite newspaper, The Betoota Advocate has knocked back countless offers to make all manner of TV shows over the years.

 

Finally, Paramount+ and Warner Bros. Australia have agreed to let us make the TV show WE wanted to make, and one that everyone else was too afraid to go near – as well as lining our pockets in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis.

 

So, with the universe aligning, we present the modern history of Australia that nobody really talks about… for a reason. This series tackles four pillars of Australian history. Corruption, money, religion and tribalism.

 

From the Fine Cotton racing scandal, to Murdoch and Packer trading blows in the Super League war, to the rise and fall of the Hillsong Church, to riots on Cronulla beach. The Betoota Advocate does not shy away from the depraved, the cringe, the hilarious and the pathetic.”

 

Paramount Plus launched in Australia in August of 2021.
