Hi

(including but not limited to: videos, animations, designs, books, viral TikToks, drawings, paintings, piano jazz, guitar singalongs, saxophone cacophony, craft ales, Dungeons and Dragons campaigns, dog friends, cat frenemies, disco dance parties) (I know that sounds like a lot but in fairness he can't cartwheel)
Teach
Barring any kind of pandemic, you can find Ben teaching Premiere and After Effects classes at the School of Visual Concepts, Luminous Works and Seattle University.
Ben wrote two books. Adobe Premiere Pro: A Complete Course and Compendium of Features is available where books are sold.
One reviewer said:
"This was just what I needed! Comprehensive, well-written, and helped me to learn just what I needed. I appreciate how the chapters were laid out and that it gave me information without making me feel stupid. Highly highly recommend!"
Adobe After Effects: A Complete Course and Compendium of Features is also out there.
A real-live person wrote:
"As we probably all have, I’ve seen many explanations of how to use masking in post-production editing, but this book really does a superior job, including helpful photographs, and illustrations of masking."
