WHY CHOOSE OUR EVENT VIDEOGRAPHERS IN VIRGINIA?
Some Of The Regions Most Valued Businesses Trust Our Virginia Event Videographers.
CUSTOM-TAILORED PROJECTS
We deliver exceptional results using the latest in cameras and editing technology. Our videographers work with all types of clients, including individuals, small businesses, and large corporations.
We use broadcast storytelling techniques and film-style lighting in all of our videos, turning them into small “feature films” instead of traditional production videos. With our abundance of packages, you can find one that fits your budget without compromising production value.
GIVE YOUR EVENTS SIZZLE
Often requests are made to simply document an event. Set of a camera in the back of the room, roll and deliver to the client or Youtube. Fine. However, there is a growing need to create that narrative about the event. That is where event videographers in Virginia can make a flat back of the room type event into an engaging sizzle reel.
Conduct interviews with stakeholders. Shoot cinematic style footage of cocktails or networking. Get perspective from attendees on “why this event is important”. These are the makings of an impactful event video.
Emmy Award-Winning Virginia Event Videographers.
With decades of professional videographer experience, our Emmy award-winning staff brings creative energy to each video project. We have one vision in mind: Produce creative stories that communicate your mission, brand or bring your event to life. Our videos tell your story in a uniquely memorable way.
We have learned that we are not simply working with a production team to produce a video, we are working with artists whose goal it is to produce a video that is unique and memorable. The effort and commitment that goes into their work extends above and beyond the scope of work outlined in the contract.
DC Chamber Of Commerce
We’ve worked with Foundation Digital Media on several projects over the last couple of years and the experience has always been exceptional. The creativity, professionalism and quality of their work is outstanding. This was my first experience working with a video team and I will never use anyone else.
ABCOP
We just recently worked with Foundation Digital Media to shoot and edit a video vignette. The customer service we received was truly top-notch. The video looks amazing and was delivered on a very tight deadline. They are true professionals every step of the way. FCM is looking forward to working with them again!

This is literally the first thing most people ask.
Itʼs a great question obviously but difficult to answer without a detailed vision of your goals.
We like to use a home building analogy. What kind of home do you want us to build? Single family, townhome or condo? What extras would you like inside?
A lot is dependent on your budget and style. Be open, communicate what you have to work with. Often we are able to match expectations with an understanding of your budget. Most importantly, always remember cost has nothing to do with production value!
HAVE FUN!
Video production is exciting and cool. Lights, camera...well you know the next line. This is why we ultimately got into this business years and years ago. Itʼs a lot of fun. We want that to convey in every project that we do. Thereʼs nothing worse than working with a crew that thinks theyʼre a little too cool for the room.
Obviously, some subjects are more sensitive than others, but we want to make the experience an enjoyable one.
Act like the camera's not there...
This can certainly seem easier said than done, but it really is that simple. People look their best in video when they seem at ease, relaxed and natural. Itʼs too easy to sense unease and anxiety through the camera. Memorizing responses is also a big no no. Just talk about things youʼre already knowledgeable about. Mess up? Fine, we just start over...no biggie!
The only way to avoid it is to really try to trick your mind that the camera really isnʼt there at all, youʼre just talking to the interviewer like youʼre having a conversation with a friend. There are situations where we can strip down the gear and use a light footprint so the set can be a little less intimidating. We havenʼt lost anyone yet!
Typically, a standard project can be turned around in 7-10 business days from last day of filming. Weʼre only as fast as the approval process allows but this window of time is a pretty good starting point depending on size of the project and number of videos needed.
Typically weʼll back up the raw files and keep them for a year. Often times clients will want to freshen up a project, add content and build from the original. This is a great example of ROI when using a professional video production company.
