Hello
My name is Jon Benson III and I am from Atlanta, GA. I have a strong passion for creating, editing, and storytelling. I have worked in sports and most recently in advertising. The projects featured throughout my site I filmed and edited. That's including the interviews and broll. Along with the motion graphics, color correcting, and sound design. I have always been fascinated with all aspects of video production.
My Story
After graduating from Valdosta State University I was hired as a sports anchor/reporter for WFXL FOX31. Pat "The Shark" Moroney and I were your host on our high school football postgame show called, "The Blitz". Each Friday night during football season we covered 10-12 different schools showing game highlights, coach of the week, game of the week, and more. Being in a smaller market, my passion for filming and editing grew. I enjoyed more of the behind the scenes work. I was later hired as the Director of Video Production for Forsyth County News (FCN). When I started at FCN, I started working on projects outside of news, focusing more in advertising. I started working with local realtor's to help create their video brand, creating commercial ads for local restaurants and distilleries (Legends), and had the opportunity in creating a short docu-series called, "Camp Chronicles".
In 2020, COVID-19 and the lockdown changed the course to my career. I never thought I'd see the day where sports where canceled and I'd be without a job. After freelancing just enough to get by, I was hired on as a videographer/editor for PAI Industries. PAI helped expand my video production knowledge and skill set because I was no long in news nor was I creating sports content. I started creating product videos, covering corporate events, creating how-to's, and more.
After my time at PAI Industries and most recently I was hired at Floor & Decor as a Sr. Videographer/editor. Continuing my career as a videographer and as a creative. Working on several projects for social media, help build their video brand, commercials, and more.
