Editing
A cut that holds
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
Cut with purpose. Finished on time.
ALEXANDRU BORDIAN is a small studio for video editing and photo finishing. We cut your footage into a film that holds attention, grade it to feel like a film, and deliver it on the day we promised — not the day we get around to it.

One email thread from first brief to final files.
Clear feedback

What we do, clearly and without jargon
Everything else we do grows out of these. Each project starts with a written brief and a quote you can actually plan around.
Color
Match, balance, 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
Finishing touch
Portraits, products and editorial work, cleaned and balanced without that plastic look. Skin stays skin, texture stays texture, and the client stays happy.

02 — Recent work
A handful of recent projects
03 — The studio
Every project, one pair of hands.
ALEXANDRU BORDIAN is a one-person post house, run by ALEXANDRU BORDIAN 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

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