Editing
Rhythm and delivery
Documentaries, commercials, podcasts and creator channels. We shape your footage into a cut with rhythm, then handle sound and clean-up so it holds up anywhere it plays.
How editing works
Video & Photo Studio
An edit that serves the story, not itself.
MARIANA LUNGU is the editing and finishing partner behind your film: careful cuts, honest color, and files that land on the day we promised.
No middlemen
Feedback in clear sentences, never vague adjectives.

Fixed scope, fixed date, no surprise extras.
Written brief
The fixed quote covers everything; nothing is billed later.
01 — Services
The work, kept simple
No package menus, no upsells. You get one of these — done properly, on a date we commit to in writing.
Color
Grade & finish
A look that belongs to your film, not a preset menu. We match scenes, build a palette, and finish in the formats your platform actually accepts.
How color works
Retouching
Clean, not plastic
Portraits, products and editorial work, cleaned and balanced without that plastic look. Skin stays skin, texture stays texture, and the client stays happy.

03 — The studio
One editor. One standard. Yours.
MARIANA LUNGU is a one-person post house, run by MARIANA LUNGU out of Chișinău, Moldova, working with clients in fourteen countries. Small by choice — because a single careful editor, reachable by email, is usually better than a production line.
We don't chase volume. We take on a handful of projects each month, write everything down, and finish what we start. That's the whole method.
- Written brief and scope before any work starts
- Secure file delivery and confidentiality by default
- Feedback in clear notes, not vague adjectives

Notes between projects
When the best cut is the simplest one
The discipline of removing cuts, and the confidence it takes to leave a scene alone.

Balancing a scene in three moves
Contrast, then white point, then saturation — the order that keeps a grade from falling apart.

The shadow, the highlight and the truth
Where portrait retouching loses dimension, and how to keep the light structure intact.

What people say after the project
“
We needed forty images in a week for a launch. They came back on day four, and the print looked better than the brief.

Fixed quote, fixed date, finished film. The process was so quiet I kept checking the calendar to make sure it was real.
