Ben's Video Work
Welcome to my video samples page. I shot and edited every video on this page. I'm a musician and I specialize in music videos. I know the importance of musical elements in your edits and I'll make sure your music is right up front.
The Urban Outlaws
Shot on location at a super cool secret location out in Marin, I caught the Urban Outlaws showcasing their amazing country music and dance moves too. We shot this with 3 camera operators and hired a smoke and lights crew to really liven things up. I really love how this one came out.
LMR Big Band
The beautiful music and conducting of Chris Walden. This was a magical session filmed at Skywalker Ranch with a constellation of top session players. Shot on Canon HG20s, Gopros and a few Sony A7II. Music mixed and mastered by Grammy Award winning Leslie Ann Jones.
Music director Ravi Abcarian working his magic with the amazing talented students of Oaktown Jazz Workshops. It's an amazing opportunity for the kids in Oakland to play jazz a stones throw away from Yoshi's Oakland, along with some of the top names in the Bay Area jazz scene. Shot on Sony cameras with a few gimbals involved. Ravi directed this one.
Brian Andres Trio
Brian Andres and his trio latino! I can capture your entire studio day, sync it to your mixed and mastered music and then cut music videos of each of your songs!
"Ben has the knowledge as a musician and also as an experienced user of the latest audio and video recording software and hardware to make fantastic recordings!"

Jemal Ramirez featuring the amazing Warren Wolf! Shot live inside the beautiful Cafe Pink House in Saratoga.
A real pleasure to work with one of the top singers in the SF bay area and Cordoba music! We shot this one with 4 HG 20's a Sony A7 and a gimbal.
Matt Finders, formely of the Tonight Show band with Jay Leno, playing BASS on this one! Another monster group of SF Bay Area all stars playing at none other than the legendary Fantasy Records.
Here's a video I did, complete with logo animations for the awesome corporate band People Power Band! I combined footage from my 4 HD cameras with a gimbal for a super smooth cinematic feel. Audio came live from the cameras.
