One producer. One event. A year of content.

Big events don't need a crew of twelve. They need one person who can move through a convention centre without slowing it down, who sees the keynote, the awards banquet, the expo hall and the hallway conversation as parts of the same story, and who can turn all of it into content that works long after the last attendee flies home. At Johnson Studios that person is Benjamin Johnson, usually the only one on site.

 
 

ASAE Annual Meeting

 

Destination Canada brought a full activation to the largest gathering of association executives in North America. We covered the booth on the expo floor, the walk and talk brand activation outside, and Canada Night, Destination Canada's flagship evening event.

The walk and talk ran for 24 minutes. That is the entire window, so the shot plan was built well ahead of time. We shot inserts, textures and transitions before and after the activation itself, so the final edit plays as a story rather than a recording of an event.

Daily photo edits went out during the show so the team could post while the event was still live. A 90 second cut built around the walk and talk series is currently in post.

 

Delivered

• 100+ final edited images

• A curated b-roll selection

• A 90 second video edit highlighting the walk and talk activation

• Daily photo delivery throughout the event


 

ACOFP Convention

One week on site with the ACOFP (American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians) marketing team produced a content library the association is still drawing from. Not a single highlight reel, but a full year of promotion, member communication, recognition and fundraising material, captured in a single trip and finished in house. The year before, ACOFP brought in three photo and video vendors to cover the convention. This year they brought one.

 

Delivered

• ACOFP '26 recap video

• 561 edited photographs

• curated b-roll selection for the client's own library

• four part educational series on cognitive care, built from on-site interviews

• Same-day photo edits pushed out during the event for near real time sharing

• ACOFP '27 promotional videos: Save the Date, Register Now, and Top 5 Reasons to Attend

• motion graphics driven fundraising video for the ACOFP Foundation

• "Why Exhibit" video for prospective sponsors and exhibitors

• Eleven member story videos in partnership with the moth

• membership retention video for residents

• Two Award Tribute Videos


 

International Symposium on Destination Stewardship

A first of its kind global summit that brought 300 delegates to Gatineau for three days to redefine the role of tourism. Large format keynotes, breakout sessions and international speakers, in a venue with plenty of scale and very little forgiving light.

We handled photography and video across the full program. For sessions where speakers overlapped, we brought in a second shooter to run short form interviews while the main camera stayed on stage. There was no highlight reel on this one. Nearly all of the visual content was built to live inside the Symposium Legacy, an interactive digital report combining video, photography and pull quotes that carried the conversation to an audience far larger than the room.

Founder Benjamin Johnson is typically the only person on site, handling photography, video, interviews and audio. That is deliberate. One person holds the entire creative thread from the first shot list to the final export, and your marketing team has one contact instead of a production company's org chart. Motion graphics, titles and design are handled in house, so there is no handoff and no waiting on a third party to interpret your brand. When an event genuinely needs a second or third camera, we bring one. Benjamin is a dual US and Canadian citizen, so travel all across North America is straightforward.
