In a world flooded with noise, visuals cut through. And for music artists—whether emerging or established—a well-crafted music video isn’t just content; it’s a visual extension of your voice, your message, and your brand.

At Johnson Media Co., we help artists translate sound into sight—emotion into image. Based in the heart of Austin TX, we create music videos that are as bold, emotional, and unique as the people behind them. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter productions. We believe in collaboration, creative direction, and producing music videos that help your art stand out and your story come alive.

Visuals as Extensions of Sound

Music connects with emotion—and video deepens that connection. A well-produced music video doesn’t just illustrate a track; it expands the emotional palette of your sound. It becomes part of the story your audience remembers.

Connecting with Audiences Beyond Streaming

Platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok aren’t just for exposure—they’re where fans fall in love with your artistry. A strong music video increases shares, engagement, and discovery, making it a crucial part of any release strategy.

Elevating an Artist’s Image

Music is personal. So is your visual brand. With cinematic video production, you don’t just share music—you shape perception, establish professionalism, and create an aesthetic that reflects your creative identity.

A City Built on Music and Creativity

There’s a reason Austin is known as the Live Music Capital of the World. But beyond stages and venues, it’s a place that nurtures originality. It’s a city that understands artists—and one where visual storytelling thrives.

Why Artists Choose to Film Here

Austin’s diverse textures—from urban grit and neon-lit clubs to scenic parks and modern architecture—offer visual inspiration at every corner. Whether your track demands elegance, edge, or emotion, this city delivers.

Iconic Visual Opportunities in Austin

We know the rooftops, the murals, the moody corners, and the natural light. We’ve shot in Austin’s hidden gems and iconic spots, using the city as a cinematic co-star to your music.

Collaboration at the Core

Every video begins with a conversation. We take time to understand your message, your sound, and what success looks like to you. Whether you’ve got a script or just a vibe, we’re here to shape it together.

Creative Direction that Aligns with the Sound

We lead with creative vision—developing visual concepts that match the tempo, emotion, and genre of your track. Our team brings structure to creativity, offering clarity and concept development from day one.

Visuals That Match the Emotion

We listen to the music. Really listen. Then we build a visual style and sequence that supports your song’s core. Whether it’s moody lighting, abstract overlays, or energetic pacing—everything is driven by feeling.

At Johnson Media Co., we provide music video production services that meet you where you are—and take your vision further than you imagined. Our services are built to be flexible, creative, and high-quality from top to bottom.

Narrative Music Videos

If your song tells a story, we help bring it to life visually. We craft cinematic sequences with characters, arcs, and visual metaphors that deepen your music’s meaning and create a powerful narrative.

Performance-Focused Shoots

Sometimes it’s all about the vibe, energy, and authenticity. Whether in a gritty warehouse or under city lights, we film dynamic, visually compelling performances that capture your raw energy and charisma.

Experimental Visual Concepts

For artists who want to push creative limits, we develop bold visual experiments—abstract storytelling, mixed media, choreography, or animation—to give your track a one-of-a-kind video experience.

Hybrid Content for Social Promotion

We also create short-form content optimized for reels, TikTok, and streaming promos. These visual bites build momentum and keep your release alive across platforms.

Our team is made up of Austin-based creatives who love music as much as they love film. That means stylists, makeup artists, cinematographers, and set designers who get your vibe—and know how to amplify it.

Location Scouting in Music-Focused Venues

From moody bars to legendary rooftops, we secure locations that align with your aesthetic and enhance your story. We know where to go—and how to shoot it right.

Integrating Local Culture and Community

We don’t isolate your art from your surroundings. We tie in local color, community, and context—so your video feels rooted and real, with Austin’s pulse running through it.
