About me

CAN AN IMAGE CATCH EMOTIONS OR IT IS JUST AN ILLUSION?

Sardinian by nationality, my name is Melanja Palitta - a one-woman show and the founder of Balans LaB.

My life has been in a constant motion over the past 20 years. I trained as a dancer in Florence and moved to the Netherlands in 2006, where I developed my love for filmmaking.

Balans LaB was born in 2008 from my necessity to find balance during my transition from dance into a new digital and visual world. I discovered that we find balance in motion, just like when we ride a bike. Since then, I've been working on artistic and commercial campaigns in film and photography, primarily as a film editor. 

My approach to editing is natural and intuitive. I love to play with images and colors, and I find rhythm in everything I create. It’s when we tune into the same rhythm that communication happens, we connect to each other and we share.
