What My Clients Are Saying
Ben was FANTASTIC!!! He was incredibly approachable, communicated his needs and vision well, was very open to input and discussions, extremely available and punctual, and to top it all off: he left us with a great product!
Working with Ben was great, he is extremely professional, punctual and responsive. The work he delivered was outstanding and the quality of the editing was flawless as well. Highly recommended.
Ben came to the venue an hour earlier and had everything setup.
He even helped me with the audio settings. I was worried a lot about how the video would be shot , but he seemed to know everything, eg - placing the camera at the right angle etc which is what I expect from a professional . He completely took care of the job which made my life a lot more easier since I did not have the bandwidth to supervise/communicate anything.
No hassles

Price was fair
Have used Ben twice over the years. Great service and quality.
