I’m Benjamin DIckerson; A Multi-Disciplinary Creative Professional

I’m Benjamin DIckerson; A Multi-Disciplinary Creative Professional with an inspiring dedication to the mediums of film and video. Offering decadent and articulate solutions in the fields of Production, Post-Production, Creative and/or Technical Direction. I’m also award winning Director, Producer and Editor living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I’ve worked within Toronto’s Creative Industry in several roles for the past ten years. In 2006, I graduated from the Ontario College of Art Design’s Integrated Media Program. My films have screened Internationally.

I’ve worked with just about every conceivable video or film format and distribution platform for the past 5 years. Before that I worked as a multimedia designer at a few of Toronto’s premier publications and marketing/ad agencies. Over the last two years, I’ve worked at Carbon Sound & Picture in the Pro Video Department in a Sales and Support Role. So that means I am exceptionally nerdy and while I would never to claim to have all the answers I have some and can work quickly and effectively to deliver resolutions on the ones that I don’t have.

I’ve even spent some time teaching. I taught most recently a Video Course at Centennial College, in their Interactive Digital Media Program. Before that I’ve done professional training for Carbon Computing and Trinity Square Video. I spent a semester at OCAD as the Teaching Assistant to two of very favourite former Instructors John Coull and Michael Page, in their First Year Integrated Media classes. Integrated Media was also the program I graduated in from OCAD, it focuses on Time Based Sculpture/Installation, Kinetic Art, Performance, Video, Sound and Online Art, so I have a pretty hefty mixed bag of skills.

My clients include; Alliance Atlantis, Lancome Cosmetics, CTV, CBC, Global Canwest, the Globe and Mail, Sony Canada, Deluxe Post, Rogers Communications, Ryerson, Unviversity of Toronto, OCAD, York, Sheridan, Technicolor, Canadian Tire, E1 Entertainment, Corus Entertainment, Vice Magazine, Channel Zero, IMAX, CFMDC, NFB, Teletoon, The Ontario Government, Government of Canada, The City of Toronto, Tribute Publishing and The Toronto International Film Festival.

I’m also a Apple Certified Pro, Final Cut Level One user.
