Hi, I’m Ben.
I turn creative ideas into tangible visuals. From art direction and concept development to motion control, rig design, and post-production, I handle the full process of making content come alive. Whether it’s a stop-motion sequence or a live-action product ad, I build the setups, craft the visuals, and deliver polished social media campaigns that feel inventive, cinematic, and handcrafted.
As a freelancer, I’ve collaborated with a wide range of brands, agencies, and creative teams to bring ambitious ideas to life. I also develop motion control tools and make videos on YouTube – combining engineering, filmmaking, and curiosity in everything I do.
What I Do
Art Direction & Visual Storytelling
With a foundation in graphic design, I bring a strong sense of composition, color, and clarity to every frame. My experience helps me shape visuals that not only look great but communicate ideas with purpose – from concept to camera.
Cinematography & Lighting
I shoot stills and video with an eye for precision and drama, using creative lighting setups to shape mood, texture, and product presence.
Engineering Motion Control Devices and Rigs
I build and program custom rigs to choreograph cameras, lights, and subjects – perfect for stop motion, repeatable live action, or hybrid scenes.
Stop Motion Animating and Prop Fabrication
I do stop motion animation, custom rigging, and prop fabrication – combining craftsmanship and engineering to bring ideas to life frame by frame.
Fabrication & Prototyping
I’m hands-on with tools and machines – 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC machining, and whatever else the project demands.
Post Production & Video Magic
From clean compositing to time-lapse stitching, frame-by-frame cleanup, and color work, I handle post with finesse using Adobe tools.
