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.

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!

Patient and knowledgable!
Very Helpful, gently walking me through the keys to premier. Easeful and effective~! Ben was able to show me how to be a Pro in Premier. There is a lot to learn! And I am excited to learn it thoroughly bit by bit with Ben's expertise and professionalism. I really appreciate it.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.
Ben was patient and answered the questions I had. My session with him was very helpful. Looking up video tutorials on YouTube takes forever to weed through to find the specific answer you need. It was well worth the money to be able to ask my specific questions about Premiere Pro.
