🎥 16 June 1937, aerial photograph taken of National Studios Ltd. once located at Nilson Street, Pagewood.

The studio was built in 1935 for National Productions by National Studios Ltd and was originally known as National Studios. It was constructed for the presumed increase in production that most observers thought would result in Australia following introduction of the NSW Film Quota Act. National Studios Ltd was incorporated with capital of £250,000.

They were the first new film studios built in Australia since 1912. Gaumont British helped provide finance and personnel in its construction. After six months of operation, National Studios reported a profit of 26%. However, the studio was soon eclipsed by Sydney's two other sound studios, Cinesound and Figtree Studios at Lane Cove. It was shut down for three years from 1937–1940, when it was reopened to make That Certain Something (1940). During World War II, the studio was used as a store depot, a training ground, and as the rehearsal and refitting depot of the Australian Army Entertainment Unit.
