Benjamin Watkins

Benjamin Watkins, PlaceVR Editor, has been with Golden Shovel Agency since January 2018. He started editing on VHS in the late mid-90s. After joining the Army in 2001, he started doing Digital Video editing and has created over 1,300 productions working as a producer for a video production company. Benjamin has his Master of Fine Arts in Motion Picture and Television from the Academy of Art in San Francisco. In 2014, he worked on a project that won a Regional Emmy.

Benjamin’s day-to-day responsibilities include learning about new VR trends, editing video content for a variety of communities, and working with both the PlaceVR team and clients. His favorite projects to work on are the ones that have a great script going into the project because it’s easier to shoot the video, the team has better footage to edit and piece together, and they are typically finished quicker for the client.
