Professionally, I work with industry-standard tools like DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, After Effects, Logic Pro, and Artificial Intelligence applications.

Approved Subjects

Animation

Animation

Having created anything from logo animations to 8+ minute narrative (scripted) animations from scratch, my knowledge with After Effects is just about second nature. Animating still photos, using Particle systems, compositing VFX and integrating graphics seamlessly into live action footage are all strengths I'm excited to share with my Wyzant students.
Film

Film

I work full time at a media company in Berkeley, California as a Post Production Supervisor. This means that I do everything from film ingest to animation to editing to audio/music restoration. I have extensive and deep knowledge of DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut X, and Adobe After Effects.
Music Production

Music Production

I've been DJing and producing music for 18 years using Logic Pro and a ton of third party software. I have taught music production online and in person and have created a few online tutorials on the subject. Those videos focus on Logic Pro, Serum, and Native Instruments Traktor.
Photography

Photography

Since 2022 I have photographed distant galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and the Milky Way. My Astro journey began with a DSLR that was ten years old and camera lenses purchased used online. Today I have a computer system running scientifically tuned cameras, telescopes, and automated targeting which allows me to photograph celestial objects with ease. I am well versed in the processing techniques to improve your photos whether it’s a single frame from your DSLR or 400 frames taken during multiple nights. Feel free to send a message and I will send you my photos so you can decide if I’m a perfect tutoring fit for you.

Deep subject knowledge and fun to work with

I needed helped with an interview I'd filmed and was editing in Davinci Resolve. Evan gave me pointers on how to perform the edits I needed and also made some good suggestions from an aesthetic point of view. He has a very effective tutoring style and was a pleasure to work with. Will be signing up for more sessions.

Excellent fixes for my project!

As a total noob to Final Cut Pro, I ran into a steep learning curve for setting up my band’s video edit. Evan quickly responded to my lesson request and was flexible to find time on a Sunday. He was able to quickly trouble shoot my process and found a work around to get my project flowing. I am not a professional AV Engineer but if I decide to dive deeper in the future I won’t hesitate to reach out to Evan for support and training!

Super helpful tutor!

In my first lesson, Evan was super helpful finding ways to improve my editing and processing speed in Davinci Resolve. He pointed out several techniques that shortened my workflow considerably. Well worth the money to save me HOURS of time in each edit.

Fusion 260 Tutor

Evan is a very good tutor, he is friendly, knowledgeable, and he certainly makes learning easy. Evan answered all my questions thoroughly and addressed the issues that I needed to learn. I would recommend him highly for help with fusion 360. I would definitely contact him for more lessons / tutoring.

Helpful Experience

Evan S. is an outstanding tutor who helped me learn video editing using DaVinci Resolve. His familiarity with the software was evident from the start, and his ability to explain concepts in a clear manner made the learning process smooth and enjoyable. Evan reviewed how to cut a video clip for optimal viewing on phone apps, which was incredibly helpful for my podcast. He also guided me on incorporating an external video I had downloaded into a clip of podcasters watching it, a feature I had been struggling with. I truly appreciate Evan’s thoroughness and respect his organized tutoring style. He ensured that the concepts we covered were tailored to my podcasting goals, and I left the session feeling confident in what I had learned. I highly recommend Evan S. to anyone looking to improve their video editing skills or learn DaVinci Resolve.

Talented Patient Articulate Skilled Teacher

Evan has an incredible skill set not only of Final Cut Pro but also as a teacher. He increased my skills tremendously in just two sessions and I plan on continuing. Each lesson is based on my needs and he provides far more value than I had expected. I'm extremely pleased and grateful. Not only is he a fantastic teacher, but he truly enjoys helping people get better. If you are serious about learning and willing to listen and put in the work, then you will be tremendously rewarded!

Very Patient and Knowledgeable

He taught me how to download files, edit and clip videos and audio. We also spent some time formatting the video to for social media. I immediately scheduled another call.

Stop Scrolling, You Found Him

Evan is knowledgeable, flexible, patient, and student focused. He quickly found where my level of skill was, met me there, and took me forward. With his help I was able to complete 3 large projects with a quality that I have not been able to achieve before.

Knowledgeable, Friendly, Great Teacher

All of my odd roadblock questions. My creative capacity overshadows my ability to be creative with the tools - when I can't get help, I get frustrated. It's easier to hire a great guy like Even to answer my odd questions, get me unstuck and get the creative juices flowing and using the tools.

Chad, 1 lesson with Evan

Knowledgeable and positive

Evan was very positive and supportive in helping me think through the creation of a music video. He didn't overwhelm me with film terminology. Instead, he spoke my language and broke down the project in a way that got me excited to work rather than overwhelmed.
