EVENT PRODUCTION — 2026
UCLA BLACK ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Winston C. Doby Legacy Scholarship Gala — 2026
THE ASSIGNMENT
Deliver a significantly expanded production and post-production engagement for UBAA's 2026 gala at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown. The project required production coordination, multi-day shooting, live-event videography, photography, editing, and multiple finished content deliverables — all designed to capture not just the event, but the people and purpose behind an organization that had surpassed $10 million in scholarships awarded.
OUR ROLE
AHM served as the full production partner — managing pre-production planning, on-site production leadership, live-event coverage, photography, and post-production through final delivery. This was not a camera crew for hire. AHM was embedded in the production from concept through final cut.
PRODUCTION
Production planning and crew coordination began weeks before the event. On-site, AHM covered VIP and guest arrivals, reception, event environment, stage programming, awards and recognition, speakers, artistic performances, audience reactions, and alumni interactions throughout the evening. Photography ran in parallel with video coverage to build a complete visual library.
POST-PRODUCTION
Post-production encompassed footage review and organization, video editing, audio refinement, graphics, captions, color finishing, and multiple content deliverables. Platform-ready versions were prepared for social media, institutional communications, and archival use.
DELIVERABLES
- —Gala highlight film
- —Individual award and speech edits
- —Social-ready video cutdowns
- —Event photography library
- —Platform-ready content assets
- —Institutional archival production
THE WORK
IMPACT
One night became months of usable brand assets. AHM's work demonstrated how institutional events can become long-term storytelling platforms — preserving history, recognizing community leaders, supporting fundraising, and keeping audiences connected long after the event concludes.
