“Ben's class "How to Make a Video that Doesn't Suck for Under $100" is a great primer for anyone flirting with making their first documentary. Ben dispels any notions you may have that money and costly equipment are essential to making a good video. From storytelling, to essential interviewing skills, to the elements of production, Ben walks students through the basics fof creating compelling video from start to finish. What's most valuable though, is that Ben generously shares his resources and offers his time and insight on student projects, even after class. ”

“Great class from a great teacher! I went into this thinking I'd pick up some general tips for future use, and I left feeling empowered to make a video for my company, stat. I wasn't expecting that. An excellent overview of simple equipment and basic tips for creating a documentary-style video about whatever company/project you're working on. You'll be surprised how easy it can be. Thanks, Benjamin! ”

“Excellent teacher. Benjamin does a great job making the class fun and clear. He is super humble, but at the same time has a lot of experience to share. He took the time to answer every question very honestly. The class inspired me to make better videos and made clear that you don't need a big budget to create great videos.”

“I learned so much from Benjamin and actually feel like I can make a video that doesn't suck. He presentation was informative and entertaining from start to finish, walking us through the key elements of an awesome video and breaking it down into simple terms that all of us could understand. The examples were super helpful as well as his tips on video cameras (your iPhone will do), lighting, angles, sound, backgrounds and the importance of b-roll. If you don't know what b-roll is I suggest you check out Benjamin's class. You won't be disappointed.”
