Hey, I'm Marco! I've been editing videos for over 6 years, and I still get excited every time I start a new project. There's something magical about taking raw footage and transforming it into a story that moves people.

My journey started during university when I created a short film that went viral on social media. That moment sparked my passion for video editing, and I haven't looked back since.

I specialize in commercial content, music videos, and corporate storytelling. Whether you're a startup looking to explain your product, a musician wanting to bring your vision to life, or a brand needing content that converts – I'm here to make it happen.

When I'm not behind the screen, you'll find me exploring Milano's coffee scene, attending film festivals, or planning my next creative project. I believe the best work comes from living an inspired life.

Milano Fashion Week - Behind the Scenes

documentary
Client Milano Fashion Council
Year 2023
Duration 8:30
Location Milano Fashion District

This documentary short takes viewers behind the glamorous facade of Milano Fashion Week to reveal the dedication, creativity, and controlled chaos that brings high fashion to life. Shot over five intense days during Fashion Week 2023, the film captures intimate moments with designers, models, and the army of professionals who make it all possible.

The project required unprecedented access to restricted areas and the ability to work quickly and unobtrusively in high-pressure environments. The result is an authentic portrait of one of the world's most prestigious fashion events.

Documentary Highlights:

  • Exclusive access to backstage areas and designer studios
  • Interviews with renowned designers and emerging talents
  • Time-lapse sequences of venue transformations
  • Raw, emotional moments before and after shows

The documentary premiered at the Milano Film Festival and has been featured in fashion publications worldwide, offering a rare glimpse into the human stories behind the glamour.

The Challenge

Milano Fashion Week is a tightly controlled environment where access is limited and timing is everything. The challenge was capturing authentic, unguarded moments while respecting the intense focus required for successful shows.

Working in low-light backstage environments with constantly changing conditions required adaptability and technical expertise. Additionally, coordinating interviews with high-profile individuals within their extremely limited schedules demanded careful planning and flexibility.

The Solution

I developed a fly-on-the-wall approach that prioritized authenticity over perfection. By building trust with key stakeholders early and demonstrating respect for their work, I gained access to moments rarely seen by the public.

Documentary Approach:

  • Used minimal equipment to remain unobtrusive
  • Focused on human emotions and relationships rather than just fashion
  • Captured the contrast between public glamour and private dedication
  • Wove together multiple storylines across different shows and designers

Technical Strategy:

  • Shot handheld for intimate, documentary feel
  • Used available light whenever possible to maintain authenticity
  • Recorded ambient sound to capture the atmosphere
  • Applied subtle color grading to enhance the emotional tone without losing realism

The final piece successfully balances the visual spectacle of fashion with the human stories that make it meaningful.

Location Milano Tech Hub

This explainer video for PayFlow Solutions breaks down their innovative payment platform in a way that's accessible to both tech-savvy users and everyday consumers. The challenge was to explain complex fintech concepts while maintaining engagement and trust.

The video combines live-action footage of real users with animated graphics and screen recordings to create a comprehensive overview of the platform's benefits. We focused on storytelling that highlights real user pain points and demonstrates how PayFlow provides solutions.

Key Features:

  • Clean, modern animation style aligned with brand guidelines
  • Real user testimonials and use cases
  • Screen recordings demonstrating app functionality
  • Professional voiceover in both Italian and English

The video was used across multiple channels including their website, investor presentations, and social media campaigns, contributing to a 300% increase in sign-ups following the launch.

The Challenge

PayFlow needed to explain their complex B2B2C payment solution in a way that would appeal to both their direct customers (small businesses) and end users (consumers). The challenge was creating content that could work for multiple audiences while maintaining the technical credibility required for investor presentations.

Additionally, the fintech space requires building trust quickly, as users are hesitant to share financial information with new platforms.

The Solution

I developed a dual-narrative approach that showcases both the business owner's perspective and the end user's experience. The video uses a day-in-the-life format that feels authentic and relatable while incorporating animated sequences to explain the technical aspects.

Creative Strategy:

  • Started with familiar pain points that both audiences experience
  • Used split-screen techniques to show parallel experiences
  • Incorporated trust signals like security badges and user testimonials
  • Applied clean, professional motion graphics that reinforce brand credibility

Production Approach:

  • Shot real scenarios in authentic business environments
  • Created modular content that can be used for different audiences
  • Developed animated sequences that simplify complex workflows
  • Ensured brand consistency across all visual elements

The result is a versatile piece of content that has become central to PayFlow's marketing and sales efforts.

Lorenzo Chen - "Mirrors"

Lorenzo Chen - "Mirrors"

music-video
Client Lorenzo Chen Music
Year 2024
Duration 3:45
Location Milano, Abandoned Theatre

"Mirrors" is an introspective music video for rising indie artist Lorenzo Chen. The video explores themes of identity, self-reflection, and the multiple facets of our personalities through a visually striking narrative set in an abandoned theatre in Milano.

Working closely with Lorenzo and his creative team, we developed a concept that uses actual mirrors and reflective surfaces as both literal and metaphorical elements. The video follows Lorenzo as he navigates through different rooms of the theatre, each representing a different aspect of his identity.

Creative Elements:

  • Innovative use of mirrors and reflective surfaces
  • Dramatic lighting that shifts with the song's emotional journey
  • Seamless transitions between reality and reflection
  • Color grading that evolves from cold blues to warm golds

The video premiered on YouTube and gained over 500K views in the first month, helping Lorenzo gain international attention and leading to his first European tour.

The Challenge

Lorenzo wanted a music video that would stand out in the crowded indie music space while staying true to his artistic vision. The song "Mirrors" deals with complex themes of identity and self-discovery, requiring a visual approach that could convey these abstract concepts without being too literal or clichΓ©.

The technical challenge involved working with mirrors and reflective surfaces, which can create unwanted reflections of crew and equipment. Additionally, the abandoned theatre location had no power, requiring us to bring in all our own lighting equipment.

The Solution

I developed a visual language based on reflections and symmetry that perfectly complemented Lorenzo's introspective lyrics. The concept uses the abandoned theatre as a metaphor for the mind - each room representing different memories, emotions, and aspects of identity.

Creative Approach:

  • Choreographed camera movements that work in harmony with the mirrors
  • Used practical lighting to create dramatic shadows and highlights
  • Incorporated multiple Lorenzo "reflections" to represent different personalities
  • Applied precise color grading to enhance the emotional arc of the song

Technical Solutions:

  • Carefully planned mirror angles to avoid unwanted crew reflections
  • Used battery-powered LED panels for portable lighting setup
  • Shot multiple takes with different mirror configurations
  • Created seamless composites where Lorenzo interacts with his reflections

The result is a visually stunning piece that has been featured in several music video festivals and helped establish Lorenzo as a serious artistic voice in the indie scene.

commercial
Client Tesla Motors Italia
Year 2024
Duration 1:30
Location Milano, Lake Como

This commercial for Tesla Motors Italia captures the essence of silent power and revolutionary technology. Shot across iconic Milano locations and the breathtaking Lake Como, the video tells the story of a new era in automotive excellence.

The project required a delicate balance between showcasing the car's sleek design and the emotional connection drivers feel with sustainable technology. We focused on the contrast between the bustling city life and the serene moments of electric driving.

Key Highlights:

  • Cinematic color grading with a modern, clean aesthetic
  • Smooth camera movements that mirror the car's fluid motion
  • Strategic use of silence to emphasize the "silent revolution" theme
  • Integration of Tesla's brand elements with Italian elegance

The video achieved over 2M views across Tesla's social media channels and was featured in their European campaign launch.

The Challenge

Tesla wanted to create a commercial that would resonate specifically with the Italian market while maintaining their global brand identity. The challenge was to showcase the Model S not just as a luxury car, but as a symbol of progress and environmental consciousness that appeals to Italian sensibilities.

The technical challenge involved filming in Milano's busy streets while capturing clean, cinematic footage, and coordinating with Lake Como's changing weather conditions for the perfect golden hour shots.

The Solution

I developed a visual narrative that weaves together Milano's urban energy with Italy's natural beauty, positioning the Tesla Model S as the perfect bridge between modern innovation and timeless Italian style.

Creative Approach:

  • Used a warm, golden color palette to evoke Italian warmth and luxury
  • Incorporated slow-motion sequences during key emotional moments
  • Balanced close-up detail shots with sweeping landscape cinematography
  • Created a rhythm that alternates between dynamic city driving and peaceful countryside moments

Technical Solutions:

  • Shot in 4K RAW for maximum flexibility in post-production
  • Used gimbal stabilization for smooth in-car sequences
  • Employed drone footage for establishing shots of Lake Como
  • Applied subtle motion graphics for specification highlights
