THINGS YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ME:
I have effectively contributed video elements that have increased ticket sales, buzz, and quality to local theater and dance artists' work. My video services are fast, fun & affordable. I'm one of you. I don't work for a big production house; that being said, I do have quality gear. I shoot in HD on a solid state Panasonic HMC40 and with a Rode shotgun microphone and edit on Final Cut Pro 7; Pretty much this means that I have equipment that can make you or your company look and sound really good. Not only am I technically proficient, but I'm also a producing/performing artist who makes new work. Let's talk.

The Editor of this here site is a fan: “Ben consistently impresses me with his ability as a videographer. He's serious about the craft without losing his sense of humor (which you can see in his work). Most of all, he has a wonderful eye for great visual images and a impressive passion to make them real. I look forward to working with Ben again, to getting his insight and help, on future video projects.” Alan Berks , Editor/Co-Founder , MinnesotaPlaylist.com
