While Queensland's booming film industry has attracted A-list actors and major productions, it has also created a skills shortage many are keen to fill.

"I never really imagined I'd be this close to being able to go on set, being able to watch actors on set, scan actors," she said.Her job was created after company director Duncan Jones noticed a "tech and skills gap" for local 3D scanning.
