Frame, Set & Match or FSM is a post production company based in Sydney, Australia. Established in 1984 by Stephen Dunn and Rick Schweikert, FSM has developed from small operations to become a producer and participant in film, television and design throughout Australia. It is composed of five distinct units: FSM COLOUR(tm), FSM DESIGN(tm), FSM VFX(tm), FSM CUT(tm) and FSM FEATURES(tm). FSM employs over 45 staff.
Stephen Dunn and Rick Schweikert met while working as editors for a facility called Videolab. While working for Videolab Dunn and Schweikert designed an off-line suite within the building to edit music videos and corporate videos. Five years after joining Videolab Dunn and Schweikert purchased one of the first computer-controlled off-line suites in Australia and created Frame, Set & Match.
In 1991 Frame, Set & Match, along with Frameworks, installed the first AVID in the country. Shortly afterwards the company changed locations and moved to a larger facility on Ridge St. During the seven years spent at the Ridge St. facility Frame, Set & Match transitioned into becoming a complete digital facility. In 1999 Frame, Set & Match moved to its current location in Northbridge.
From early 2004, a team of designers and 3D animators was formed to be the nucleus of FSM's in-house design department. The 2005 acquisition of the first Northlight scanner in Australia saw FSM creep into the world of Digital Intermediate.

Telecine is the process of transferring motion picture film into video and is performed in a color suite. The term is also used to refer to the equipment used in the post-production process. Telecine enables a motion picture, captured originally on film stock, to be viewed with standard video equipment, such as television sets, video cassette recorders (VCR), DVD, Blu-ray Disc or computers. Initially, this allowed television broadcasters to produce programmes using film, usually 16mm stock, but transmit them in the same format, and quality, as other forms of television production. Furthermore, telecine allows film producers, television producers and film distributors working in the film industry to release their products on video and allows producers to use video production equipment to complete their filmmaking projects. Within the film industry, it is also referred to as a TK, because TC is already used to designate timecode.
