JC Gellidon's warm wood desk setup — Makati City, Philippines
In their own words
It’s gonna be expensive. Hahaha! Well ideally you just have to look for a theme and look for a perfect vibe based on your room setup or studio and space. Make sure it’s gonna look good so you feel good while working.

Observation notes
It’s gonna be expensive.
JC's desk faces floor-to-ceiling windows over the Makati skyline, a wood-slatted riser holding Genelec monitors and a matte-black monitor hood shading the screen from the sun. A DaVinci Resolve color-grading keyboard and a trackball sit below, with an iPad displaying drone shot logs — Talikud Island, a farm, a river — propped just beside it.
Road cases and flight cases stack to one side, next to a framed collection of action figures and a beanbag chair facing a second TV. The view alone would justify the space, but he says the real cost was matching that theme all the way through — a look worth building even if it runs into the tens of thousands.
