<> = Other notes = Goldie mentioned a place called backyardopera.com for backdrop white/green screen = 2018-03-15 = == 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 = 2017-06-26 = == Brief == A simple high key space with a little bit of character. == Spaces == === Sydney Photo Studio === '''Went with this one in the end''' Located in Rosebery http://sydneyphotographystudio.com/hire-rates/ * Nice white room * Not that much visible furniture, might be packed away * $325 + GST = $357.50 === Studio Neon === In Alexandria http://studioneon.com.au/photographic-hire#the-studio-photographic * Lots of crazy backdrops, would be amazing for Vocaloid and really bold fashion stuff * Unknown price === Work Studio === In Redfern http://workstudio.com.au/space/#/features * Looks like lots of set furniture to play with * Seems to be $245 for a half day, confirm for weekends, has an online booking system + calendar! === Studio 501 === In Marrickville https://www.thestudio501.com/ * Includes lots of lighting gear * Lots of furniture, cool * Half day is $350 * Not sure if available on weekend mornings === Tempe Studios === In Tempe, duh! https://www.tempestudios.com.au/ * Interior looks more like full sets, less abstract * $350 for half day on weekend === Studios 41 === In Annandale http://www.photostudiohire.com.au/ * Studio 2 would be the go (White Space) * Looks a bit too sparse * Half day on Saturday is $330 + GST = $363 === Sydney Props === In Marrickville? http://www.sydneyprops.com.au/photographic-studio-hire/sunlight-studio-hire * Studio 6 (Sunlight) would be my choice, a couple of different settings/backdrops to look use * $306 for half day on Saturday morning * Looks decently equipped, can also hire props if desired * 08:30am to 12:30pm
