Matei Vadim Staver
I am an experienced Audio - Video Engineer and troughout my professional career, I developed
important projects in Video Editing, Production sound, Sound editing, Sound designing, Re-Recording
Mixing.
My experience is broad, covering feature film as well as recording, mixing and mastering different
musical productions. I also worked for multiple TV productions developed by MediaPro in Romania: TV
series, live and post-production shows like Romania Got Talent, Masterchef , The Voice of Romania etc.
Another project to be mentioned is the cooperation with Disney – dubbing for feature film and TV series
which made me very passionate about my work because of very high standards imposed.
I had the privilege to work closely with great names in cinema, starting with Maestro Francis Ford Coppola
and his highly professional team of award winners: Walter Murch and Pete Horner for a wonderful cinema
production: "Youth without youth".
Very soon after my american experience, another very important project, directed by Paul Schrader, gave
me the chance to demonstrate my skills in production sound for a great movie: "Adam Resurrected"
For the last 2,5 years, I was invited to be part of a new project, located in Doha (Qatar) as the Head of
Sound Department for the film production company: The Film House . The new company gathered young
professionals from all over the world and it became in short time, the no 1 film production company in
Qatar. My responsability was to design and build Qatar’s only Avid S6 suite as well as to manage all
production sound & post-production activities.
Presently, I decided to take a new challenge as a freelancer in Europe where I am acting as a professional
multimedia engineer.
