Editing
Shape the story
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
Editing that disappears into the story.
At GHEORGHE NEGARA, post-production is one person with a clear brief and a deadline that holds. Edit, grade, finish — delivered in writing.
Plain-language notes
Your footage stays yours. Always.
On-time habit
You know the price before a single frame is cut.
Reply by email
One person answers your emails, not a queue.
Written brief
Feedback in clear sentences, never vague adjectives.

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
Photo finishing
Portraits, products and editorial work, cleaned and balanced without that plastic look. Skin stays skin, texture stays texture, and the client stays happy.

Small on purpose. Careful by design.
GHEORGHE NEGARA is a one-person post house, run by GHEORGHE NEGARA 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

Four steps, no surprises
Review
You comment in plain notes; we turn each note into an edit, not an argument.
Handover
Final files, every format you asked for, and clean project folders you can actually navigate.
Quote
A fixed price and a delivery date in writing. Half upfront books your slot; the rest on delivery.
Scope
We write down what we will and won't do, confirm the footage list, and lock the deadline before any work starts.

Thoughts on the craft
Sound design is half of a cinematic cut
Room tone, footsteps and the silence between lines — the invisible half of the edit.

Reading the histogram like a map
The histogram is not a beauty filter — it is a map of the scene, and it rarely lies.

Removing the ring light from the eyes
The giveaway of amateur studio retouching, and the honest way to deal with it.

What I loved was the plain-language notes. Not "more energy" — actual instructions I could act on.

The before-and-after on our product shots sold the retouch better than any words.
