For real. And they almost all have the laptop down on the desk breaking their necks looking down at it. Looks horrible. Is that how it usually is with this kind of work?
No idea what studio is pictured, it looks more like a help desk or support layout to me. “Sensible” places will do rows of 6 or 8 people seperated by mid height dividers, but even that sucks in my opinion.
I was gonna say, this looks stock photo as hell. Not a single bit of individualism at each desk in an industry filled with artists and companies that have Weta Workshops make statues for their entryways. Plus, laptops? I can’t imagine rendering and compiling being done on laptops, nor is there the room for hardware like Wacom touchscreens.
Feels very “give me a photo of an office with computers.”
First order of business, negotiating to scrap that shittastic seating plan in the picture.
