ENTERTAINMENT QUARTER
The mid-2000s marked a major period of growth for Trackdown as the company expanded its footprint within the Fox Studios Australia lot—not only adding its world-class orchestral scoring stage, but also establishing a fully equipped TV studio. These purpose-built facilities significantly broadened Trackdown’s capabilities, enabling the team to support everything from large-scale orchestral recordings to television shoots, live performances, and multi-camera production.
During this time, Trackdown also welcomed several key team members who would help shape the company’s identity for years to come.
In 2004, Elaine Beckett joined as an intern, moving into a core management role by 2008, where she became instrumental in project coordination and studio operations.
Craig Beckett came onboard in 2006, working his way up as a junior strengthening Trackdown’s music editing and technical capability with his precision and musical insight.
Throughout the 2000s, Trackdown contributed to an expanding slate of major screen projects including Happy Feet, Happy Feet Two , and Baz Luhrmann’s Australia.
Following the passing of co-founder Simon Leadley in early 2010, Trackdown honoured his legacy by officially naming its world-class orchestral facility The Simon Leadley Scoring Stage. Over the decade that followed, the studio cemented its place as Australia’s leading hub for scoring, music editing, and audio production across film, television, streaming, and games.
Trackdown’s work expanded into major international features—including The Great Gatsby, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and a growing relationship with Marvel, contributing to projects such as What If?, Echo, and Ironheart. Under Geoff Watson's production, the studio worked on tv animation titles; Tales of Aluna, Sally Bollywood, and Nate Is Late.
Trackdown strengthened its presence in game scoring, hosting sessions for World of Warcraft, Diablo, and a wide slate of Japanese game titles. On the music editorial and production side, Trackdown contributed to major Australian successes including Boy Swallows Universe and Better Man, alongside an expanding roster of local and international series.
A new generation of talent joined the team during this period, with Liam Moses starting as a freelance music editor in 2017 and becoming full-time in 2020, bringing contemporary technical expertise and fresh creative insight to the department.
Today, Trackdown stands as a globally recognised scoring and post-production facility—pairing state-of-the-art stages with a multigenerational team to support the next wave of screen storytelling across Australia and the world.
