Editing
Structure and pace
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
Quiet edits. Loud results.
At ALIONA HADJI, we edit video and finish photography the way we would want it done for ourselves: careful cuts, honest color, and a delivery date that means something.

We would rather say "two weeks" and land in ten.
Written brief
You talk directly to the person doing the work.
Fixed scope
Fixed scope, fixed date, no surprise extras.
Direct contact
You know the price before a single frame is cut.
01 — Services
Three services, one standard of care
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
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.

02 — Recent work
A handful of recent projects
03 — The studio
One editor. One standard. Yours.
ALIONA HADJI is a one-person post house, run by ALIONA HADJI 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

Brief
You send links or files, the deadline and the goal. We reply with the two or three questions that actually change the quote.

What we learn while we work
What to do with footage that has no B-roll
Editing a story when the shoot came back thin, and the fixes that never look like fixes.

Contrast, saturation and skintone mistakes that amateur color work keeps repeating.
