Secret Wood Workspace
Stephen Wilk’s basement video production and editing studio is wood-paneled, hand-designed and built, and looks fantastic. He pushed that basement up to the walls to build his dream workspace and the finished product is definitely visible.
When he works professionally, Stephen goes to High Wheel Productions if you’re wondering what an old vintage bike inlaid on a wall is like. In fact, he even has a video on Flickr showing the entire renovation and installation , from choosing wood for his desk, a lot of recycled pallets and recycled wood for the space, and even laying LED strips along the walls. and then covered it with frosted plastic to give the space a glowing yet adjustable and adjustable look.
In terms of technique, here’s what he uses:
Here is my video production studio I was working on. It all started with a concrete room that we used as storage in the basement. I designed and built it all myself, mostly from recycled wood from pallets, old shelves and other wood that was used for something else. The piece of wood I used was built over 75 years ago and is now part of my studio. I kept the theme hidden in the basement and made a secret door that acts as a shelf.
Monitors include a Dell 24 Monitor with 1920×1200 vertical resolution, a Dell 34 Curved 3440×1440 monitor, and a 27-inch Asus monitor with a 2560×1440 resolution. Sound travels through balanced cables from the Tascam 2×2 to the PreSonus 4.5 “and then through a 10” subwoofer under the table for maximum frequency reproduction. Lighting is independently adjustable, so when editing video, it can be reduced by up to 10%.
Here’s a closer shot of just his desktop setup and hardware below:
All in all, this is a basement workspace that anyone can enjoy, and definitely one that makes me feel like I could do some creative work. Except for the lack of windows (which makes sense since this is a basement), it’s pretty sharp. Of course, if you don’t like wood, in which case, I think you are out of luck.
If you have your own workspace to show off, share it with us by adding it to our Lifehacker Workspace Show and Tell Flickr pool . Make sure all photos you add are at least 1280×720 in size. Maintaining their 16: 9 aspect ratio also helps! Include a little text about what you used, how you came up with the design, and any other important details. If your smart organization and good design flair are striking, you could be the next workplace ambassador!
