At The Sweet Setup:
Every week we {aim to} post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.
Today’s victim, er, interviewee:
I’m Tony, and I live in Copenhagen, Denmark where my company — Airflix — specializes in shooting and editing drone videos.
We do drone videos for commercials, feature films, corporate videos, and everything in between. Apart from videos, we also do a fair amount of drone photos and photo editing.
I have set up a grading studio in my office where I colorgrade videos and edit photos.
I have put an effort into making my workspace as clutter-free as possible and removing visual distractions as I’m very OCD about how things look, and especially how they function on my desk. 😉
My desk is homemade with a shelf underneath painted in the same color as the wall, which for grading purposes is in a neutral gray color.
The purpose of the shelf is mainly to hide all the cables, ugly power bricks, and spinning HDDs (I have around 12-15 various drives for backups in there).
Keeping everything on a shelf under the desk also helps keep the noise level down. The desk is pushed a couple of inches away from the wall for ventilation purposes. This also allows room for a LED strip light on the back to show more light. The LED strip light provides backlight at an accurate temperature of 6500K, which is considered a neutral backlight when you color grade.
