History

Judd began his audio engineering career in 1964 at the broadcast studios of 2GB in Sydney as a sound booth panel operator, then in 1967 joined Fauna Productions who were employing production crew for the television series Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, for which incidentally he provided the trademark "tch-tch" voice of "Skippy".^[1]

Around 1970 he joined Artransa Film Studios, for whom he mixed his first feature film, The Adventures of Barry McKenzie (1972); another notable film of this period of his life was Peter Weir's The Last Wave, for which he won an AFI award in 1977, after which his name was associated with a great number of Australian movies and TV mini-series.^[1] His name has been associated with Peter Weir on many projects.

In 1991 he founded his own company PhilmSound with extensive facilities at Lindfield, New South Wales.
