Benjamin Goldsmith

Ben Goldsmith is a third year at Hampshire. He is good at editing movies but bad at making Hampedia pages.

But really. Ben likes to make movies, and is always down for some collaboration. In Fall of 2008, still fresh onto the Hampshire scene, he worked on White Zombie, for which he was a Production Assistant, Foley Editor, and Assitant Editor. He also worked on Welcome to Church Street, for which he was in charge of music and animation. In Spring of 2008, Ben birthed the action epic, ThunderFuck. He has edited movies for Shopaholics TV and The Fearless Chef, and is currently working with FoodPlay. In the summer he is head of Music Department at Windsor Mountain International Summer Camp. Ben loves to help out working on projects, and can absolutely be commissioned to collaborate, having experience in screenwriting, storyboarding, directing, producing, cinematography, camera operating, foley, analog and digital editing, special effects, 2D and 3D animation, film scoring, among others. He is proficient in Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Maya, Flash, Premiere, Photoshop, iMovie, Reason, Abelton Live, Cubase, Audacity, GarageBand, and is just nasty at Microsoft Word.
