    “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. ”

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.
