Bio

Cinema • Engineer

My name is Mattia Meloni (Met) and Studio Stage is my boutique studio founded in 2017 — I'm a film editor, colorist and finishing artist based between Turin and Berlin. I work across commercials, documentaries and series, shaping stories with rhythm and clarity and carrying them all the way to the final pixels. My approach mixes taste and craft with a slightly obsessive respect for workflow: clean timelines, disciplined color science, and invisible VFX when needed. When I’m on set, I support productions as DIT / data manager to keep footage safe and the pipeline predictable. I also teach post‑production at Polytechnic University of Turin (where I graduated in Cinema Engineering)— 500+ students so far — because teaching forces you to understand what you’re doing (and because I genuinely like watching people level up).

How I work

Taste • Craft • Reliability

I keep workflows calm, specs clean, and taste in service of the image. I protect the director and DoP’s choices through edit, color, and finishing. I handle versioning, notes, and approvals with speed and clarity. I deliver masters and exports with a conform- and QC-first mindset—no surprises at the end. And I bring a DIT/dailies sensibility that keeps color and editorial consistent from the start. I’m Resolve-first, and I move seamlessly across Adobe Creative Cloud when needed. The goal stays the same: protect the image and deliver clean, consistent masters.

Story & Structure

I approach every project as a narrative problem: what does the audience need to feel, and when? Even the most technical choices — pacing, transitions, color, sound — are story decisions in disguise.

Editing

Editing is where meaning happens. I love finding structure in messy reality (documentary), and precision in tight formats (commercials). Rhythm, intention, and emotional logic first; tools and tricks second.

Color Grading

Color is both taste and math. I design looks, match cameras, and deliver consistent masters for web, broadcast, and cinema. Whether it’s clean and modern or textured and filmic, the grade should serve the story — not compete with it.

Workflow

A good pipeline is invisible. I help teams avoid chaos with sensible naming, proxy strategies, color management, versioning, and delivery specs — so creativity doesn’t get eaten by technical debt.

DIT

On set I focus on reliability: media management, checksums, backups, and clean hand‑off to post. When the production needs it, I handle look management (LUTs/grades) so the creative intent survives the journey from set to edit to final grade.

VFX / Finishing

I build shots that don’t call attention to themselves: cleanup, screen inserts, rig removal, beauty work when appropriate, and seamless composites. The goal is simple: keep the audience inside the story, not looking for the stitch.

Sound Prep

I’m not just cutting pictures: I prep sound with the same care. Clean dialogue, solid temp design, and a mix‑friendly timeline make the final mix faster, cheaper, and better.

Teaching

I teach post‑production to students and professionals, translating complex workflows into practical steps. The mission: empower people to finish real projects with confidence — not just pass tutorials.
