Max Bastoni
video editor | music composer | graphic artist
I was born and raised in Milan (Italy) but I spent the last 13 years working for companies all over the world: I began with commercials and music videos and continued into promos, sizzles, network pieces as well as documentaries and narrative film.
As you can see in the picture on this page: I started handling the job very early, working on some crappy Super 8 footages…!

Since that time I largely improved my skills which now include: editing, compositing, 2D motion graphics, music composing and recording, sound mastering, DVD authoring, video conforming.

I’m also a good and patient teacher: who usually makes all the students being passionate about the underestimated art of editing…!

My customers used to inlcude: Sony Pictures, L’Orèal, SKY, Mediaset, Family Channel, FIAT, Inter F.C., RAI Radiotelevisione Italiana, Mipel and many others.
I currently work in my own editing studio settled in North Hollywood area (CA).

About
“My job as an editor is to gently drag the attention of the audience to look at various parts of the frame in its infinity. I’d say that film is the sculpting of time.
And I do that by manipulating, by how and where I cut and what succession of images I work with."
– Walter Murch
