Studio Stage is the boutique post-production of Mattia Meloni — film editor, colorist and finishing artist, founded in 2017, based between Turin and Berlin.
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 the 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.
Every project is a narrative problem: what should the audience feel, and when? Even technical choices are story decisions in disguise.
Editing is where meaning happens. Structure in messy reality, precision in tight formats. Rhythm and intention first; tools second.
Color is taste and math. Designing looks, matching cameras, consistent masters for web, broadcast and cinema. The grade serves the story.
A good pipeline is invisible. Sensible naming, proxy strategies, color management, versioning and delivery specs — so creativity isn't eaten by technical debt.
On set: reliability. Media management, checksums, backups, clean hand-off to post — plus look management (LUTs/grades) so creative intent survives the journey.
Shots that don't call attention to themselves: cleanup, screen inserts, rig removal, beauty work, seamless composites. Keep the audience in the story.
Not just pictures: clean dialogue, solid temp design and a mix-friendly timeline make the final mix faster, cheaper and better.
I teach post-production to students and pros, turning complex workflows into practical steps — so people finish real projects with confidence.
