Goldie mentioned a place called backyardopera.com for backdrop white/green screen

Brief
Something a bit luxurious looking, or otherwise striking, to use as studio space. Some props/furniture would be good.
Will bring own lights, option to use a smoke machine is nice to have.
Spaces
Desk and Studio
Most practical looking
http://www.deskandstudio.com/plans/
http://www.creativespaces.net.au/find-a-space/desk-and-studio-13
$175 half day, Annandale, gotta ask for weekend use. Seems maybe promising
Studio Tings
https://www.facebook.com/studiotings/
http://www.creativespaces.net.au/find-a-space/studio-tingz
Looks a bit modern and bland, lighting may fix
$150 half day
Studio Barraza
Nice but less ideal
http://www.creativespaces.net.au/find-a-space/studio-barraza-10
I quite like the look of this one, a bit "hard" but also rich
$350/half day, the price reduces my rating for this
Selfie Studio
http://www.creativespaces.net.au/find-a-space/york-street-photo-studio-selfie-studio
Right in the CBD, simple and versatile, some gear provided, has some okay white furniture which could look nice
$79/hr
Central Chippendale Loft Studio
http://www.creativespaces.net.au/find-a-space/central-chippendale-loft-studio-4
Not exactly clear which space is which in the photos, could be a little cramped. I like that brown lounge though
$150/day is nice and on the low-end, need to ask for weekend access, not always available
Work Club Barangaroo
Not really promising
http://www.creativespaces.net.au/find-a-space/work-club-barangaroo-4
Looks like nice plush spaces, I kinda want that library.
Pricing unclear, looks like they normally use a subscription model. This is a problem unless I call them and they say good things
Duti Studio
http://www.creativespaces.net.au/find-a-space/duti-studios-4
Used as a dance space, not really any furniture, could be interesting though.
$350/half day, not sure if it would necessarily be this dear
The Roller
http://www.creativespaces.net.au/find-a-space/the-roller-17
Coworking space, apparently has a photo studio area
Pricing unclear
Top Floor at Wellington
http://www.creativespaces.net.au/find-a-space/top-floor-at-wellington-24
Wooden floors, space might look a bit too homely, hard to tell.
$390/day, unclear if half-day available
The Hub Studio
http://www.creativespaces.net.au/find-a-space/the-hubstudio-4
Suitability unclear, looks a bit like an event space more than anything
$38/hr perhaps? Cheap is nice
