FAQs about Top Film and TV Studios in Sydney

When searching for a film and television studio, start your hunt with Fox Studios, the city’s largest end-to-end production studio, conveniently located near Anzac Parade not far from the airport. Check out The Docklands Studio near the water, as well as other options in the west, around The Rocks and Haymarket. Cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge and check out the studios on the North Shore, conveniently close to the M1.

Costs for a film and TV studio will vary depending on the size and equipment you will need to hire. For smaller production studios, expect costs to range around $1,000 to $1400 for the standard 8 to 10-hour session. Larger facilities will range upwards to $3500 for half-day hire and $6000 for full-day sessions. Final prices will also include cleaning fees, Saturday surcharges, as well as blackout fees.

Most studios will offer many options for different-sized sound stages, as well as rehearsal spaces and, perhaps, period buildings or special sets. Depending on the size of the setup and your needs they may also offer makeup and dressing rooms as well as space for workshops and props. They may also have an experienced crew available for your production. Cameras, lighting, and other equipment may be included in the cost of smaller studios, however, you will likely need to hire extra equipment depending on your needs.

Yes, you need permission before you start filming in the City of Sydney area. Permission is generally needed for commercial shoots and filming done on public land. If you’re filming on private property you don’t need permission from the City of Sydney, but you do need to submit a filming management plan. In some areas, city permission is not required, but you may need to receive a permit from other authorities. For detailed information on filming permission visit the City of Sydney’s website.

 Why Sydney is a Top Spot for Filmmakers

  • Iconic locations – Combine studio shoots with stunning city or coastal backdrops.
  • Well-equipped studios – From green screens to full lighting rigs and post-production suites.

Things to Consider When Booking a Film Studio

Plan Your Project

Start with a clear script and storyboard. Break down your scenes, props, and technical needs as this makes it easier to choose a studio that supports your workflow.

Choose the Right Space

Need a green screen? Soundproofing? Infinity wall?
Studios vary widely, so use Tagvenue filters to find:

  • Cyclorama walls
  • Drive-in access
  • On-site gear rentals
  • Changing rooms & makeup stations

Crew & Support

Larger projects may require a full team: producer, camera operator, lighting tech, sound engineer, makeup artist, and more.
Tagvenue listings may also include on-site crew—check the venue details or contact the manager directly.

Equipment Check

Bringing your own gear? Double-check it ahead of time.
Need to rent equipment? Many studios in Sydney offer:

  • Lighting kits
  • Audio recording tools
  • Tripods, gimbals & cranes
  • Livestreaming setups

Visit the Studio

If possible, schedule a viewing before booking. Photos don’t always show scale, soundproofing, or access routes. Look for reviews from past productions for real insight.

Rehearse

Do a dry run before filming day. Rehearsals reveal technical issues, awkward blocking, or lighting problems, and help avoid costly reshoots.

I loved this history and the beautiful architecture of the building - the studio has so much character! Jason and Andrew were wonderful to work with and everything was easy. They were great communicators and it was a seamless, enjoyable process. I will definitely utilise this studio again - it was a great experience, and right in the CBD too. Super convenient.

Booked Studios at Zen Film and Sound Studio
5.0
Alan was incredibly friendly and helpful, and offered over-and-above things that I wouldn't have expected. The sound isolation in the studio is incredible - the studio is right next to the airport, but once you're in the room with the door closed it's dead quiet.

Booked Soundproof Recording Studio at Studio 2 Potts Point
5.0
The space was sound proof and it came with all the equipment, such as backdrop options, cameras, mics, teleprompter. The space was perfect for what I needed (filming training videos) and there was a seperate kitchenette, lunch room, and hair/makeup room

Booked Studio One at Camber Studios
5.0
I brought lighting and used none of it because the lighting provided was such high quality. Even more options are also available on site for hire like additional lighting and smoke machines. Lots of space for both on-set and off-set so the crew was very comfortable. Best part was the service though, very friendly and concise with the briefing.
