Great teacher! Very patient and helpful!
Ben is very knowledgeable in all aspects of video production and editing! I've been working with Ben in Davinci Resolve for the past few weeks and he has helped me significantly in understanding the workflow and details of this program.

Adobe Premiere Expert
Ben was super helpful. I am experienced with Adobe Premiere but knew there were still a lot of things I didn’t know. Ben explained a lot of complicated things to me in a simple way. I would definitely work with him again.

knowledgable and patient tutor
Ben was super patient and helpful in answering all my backend computer questions about files, storage and keep the disc cache empty so that I can have everything in place and be ready to make some art.

Very knowledgable, answered all questions, patient.
I'm getting back into video production after many years. The software has changed a lot. Ben knew every trick. I'm coming back to Ben for more as I have questions on my project, a documentary feature film.

Learned a lot!
Ben C taught me the basics of Adobe Lightroom in my lesson. He was very helpful, and I would meet with him again. He tailored the lesson to my needs. This was a great present from my husband!

Drastic improvements with my video quality after 1 session.
I had the hardest time getting crisp, sharp video, even with a fancy camera. Ben gave me a bunch of pointers on camera settings (I love manual focus, forget auto focus). 15 minutes after our session, I implemented everything Ben taught me, and it worked! Thank you Ben.

Patient, more than able, kind and willing to help.
I had been wrestling with my lack of Lightroom organizational skills. I am one who takes pride in my computer skills and ran into a walk. Ben appreciated my viewpoint and took the lead as we worked together to resolve my problem. He stayed with me until we repaired my catalog and file management confusion. If you have any problem with Lightroom, this is your guy. Thank you Ben for your efforts, kindness and expertise!

Highly Recommend!
Ben was a really great and knowledgeable tutor. We did an online lesson with screen share that was much easier than expected. He was able to answer my questions and help me get started with DaVinci Resolve!

Excellent session. Completed vid project!
Ben is extremely patient, easy to work with and knows what he's doing. He was able to help me finish a video and give me great advice. I told him what I wanted and he showed me how to do it. Great job!
