Working with Ben has been one of the most inspiring parts of my journey in visual effects. He truly breathes VFX - not just as a job, but as a passion that spans both the creative and technical spectrum. Ben brings energy and curiosity to everything he touches. As Head of Compositing, he leads by example: pushing boundaries, advocating for the department, and always encouraging us to grow (individually and as a team). He's deeply committed to innovation, constantly exploring new technologies and approaches that elevate our craft. What I appreciate most is how he sees and treats each person as an individual. Every conversation feels meaningful. I leave feeling heard, challenged, and motivated to level up. His passion is contagious (almost as much as his love for coffee, which might just be the secret fuel behind his brilliance). A true leader, a deep thinker, and someone I constantly learn from.

Ben is a rare blend of visionary creativity, technical mastery, and inspiring mentorship. His unique combination of warmth, approachability, and unwavering confidence makes him an invaluable asset to any team, department, VFX studio and clients. Throughout my time working with Ben, I've regularly appreciated his vision on both technical challenges and managerial decisions. His insights have always proven invaluable. Ben possesses an extraordinary depth of knowledge in his craft and an uncanny ability to distill complex tasks to their essence, a skill many seasoned professionals aspire to emulate. He embodies the ideal of a modern, high-end VFX supervisor: a masterful blend of leadership, innovation, technical and creative brilliance. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have walked alongside Ben during these years. His career trajectory is destined for extraordinary heights, and I have no doubt that he will achieve milestones few in our VFX industry ever reach.

I decided to book a one time mentorship with Ben because I felt I needed some guidance and not just a quick "how to" fix. I am the kind of person who never feels good enough for the role he covers and Ben helped me to reframe the whole situation with some practical actions that can tremendously impact the way you perceive your work environment. As a compositor the ability to manage stress, priorities and communication is crucial to get the best out of your project and I had the chance to learn more about these skills in 1 hour talk with Ben, than in years of tutorials and webinars.

I had not properly written a single line of code before Ben's Python for Nuke 101 course, and now I have advanced so much in such a short space of time. I've done quite a few courses and tutorials from a variety of places and Ben's course has been hands down the best, most useful, most relevant, most prepared and thought through course I've done.
