Corporate and brand video for the technology companies and government contractors of Reston and the Dulles Technology Corridor.

8 Media Group provides video production in Reston, VA for the technology firms and contractors anchoring the Dulles Technology Corridor. Reston is a different animal than the older DC core: planned, corporate, tech-forward, and organized around Reston Town Center and the Silver Line. Google, Volkswagen Group of America, and Rolls-Royce North America all sit here, alongside a deep bench of government IT and cybersecurity contractors. The video these organizations need leans explainer-heavy and recruiting-heavy, and we build for that.

The companies we serve here

Reston’s base is tech and contracting: enterprise software, government IT and cyber firms, and the professional-services companies that support them. That shapes the work. A lot of it is explaining something complex, which is where commercial and product video and social-first content earn their place, and a lot of it is competing for scarce technical talent, where recruiting and employer-brand video does the heavy lifting.

Where we shoot in Reston

We film across the area: Reston Town Center and its corporate towers, the Wiehle-Reston East Metro corridor, the office parks along the Dulles Toll Road, and neighboring Herndon. The corporate campuses here run their own security and access procedures, and we plan around them so your shoot day is not spent waiting at a front desk.

Why choose 8 Media Group for video production in Reston, VA

Reston companies move fast and expect their vendors to keep up. We are a smaller, more agile shop than the big legacy DC firms, close to the corridor, and able to turn work around without a layer of account managers in between. You get people who have filmed in these buildings and one point of contact from first call to delivery.

Our Process

How a project comes together when we shoot in Reston.

01

The goal comes before the concept.

Reston work usually means explaining something technical to a non-expert, so we get clear on who is watching and what they need to understand before we design anything. The goal drives the edit.

Clarity is the goal. The visuals serve it.

Pre-production is where we take the risk out.

Reston Town Center campuses and the corporate parks along the toll road run their own security and access rules. We plan around them up front, so your shoot day is not spent at a badging desk.

Campus access handled before the camera comes out.

03

One shoot day should feed you for months.

One Reston shoot becomes the explainer, the product cutdowns, the recruiting clips, and the social, the formats a tech and contractor market actually uses. One day, months of assets.
