8 Media Group filmed our conference in Washington, DC and delivered way more than we expected. Past video companies gave us a single highlight video. 8 Media Group gave us an entire library of content from the event that we’ve been using all year. Highly recommend them for conference and event video production in DC.

Thank you, Daniel! It was a pleasure covering your Washington, DC conference. We always want our clients to walk away with a full library of actionable content rather than just a single highlight. Glad the footage has been useful all year!

I cant thank 8 Media Group enough. We needed a video crew in DC for a podcast interview and they came through and delivered last minute. They were extremely professional and prompt. The entire set was ready the moment we arrived. We didnt have to wait for them to setup lights, cameras, mics. It was all ready for us and all we had to do was start recording. They delivered everything within a week and they kept us in the loop throughout the entire editing process. We’ll definitely call on Chris and 8 Media Group next time we are in DC.

Ronnie HoltLocal Guide · 6 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Ronnie has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
8 Media Group created a commercial ad for our business in Northern Virginia, and the whole experience was fantastic. From the start, they brought great ideas to the table and made sure I understood the full creative vision before they ever picked up a camera. Their storyboard and shot list were so well planned that the shoot day ran without a hitch, and honestly, it was a lot of fun to film with them.
The editing process was just as smooth. They were attentive, patient with all my notes, and kept refining each revision until the ad was exactly what I wanted. I'm really happy with the final result and will definitely be working with 8 Media Group again on future video content.

It was fun working with you Ronnie, we look forward to working with you again!
Dave MillerLocal Guide · 18 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Dave has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
We hired 8 Media Group last August to produce a corporate brand story video for our company in Washington DC, and the whole process was genuinely collaborative from start to finish. Chris and his team were talented and full of good ideas, but what stood out was how realistic they were about what we could actually accomplish inside our budget and timeline. They were responsive the entire way through. I never had that feeling of handing off a project and then sitting in the dark wondering what I was going to get back. They kept us in the loop at every delivery stage. Easy to talk to, easy to work with, and the final video was exactly what we were hoping for. I'd recommend them to anyone in the DC area looking for video production without hesitation
