Depositions: There are several reasons for videotaping a deposition or Examination Before Trial.  The most common reasons are either that the witness will not be available for trial or to perserve the testimony in the case of a sick or elderly witness.

The videotape operator arrives on site one-hour prior to the deposition to set-up and test the equipment.  Only 3-chip, digital cameras are use with UHF wireless lavaliere microphones, audio mixer, tripod, lighting kit and monitor with a time-date generator.  For extra safety, we record the entire deposition onto a second "backup" tape.

Legal Settlement Video Brochure: A mini-documentary that presents compelling information to convince the opposition to settle before trial.
“Day in the Life” Videos: A videotape that shows the jury what a "day in the life" of a particular person is like.  The day's events are not altered or staged in any way. Artistic license spells lawsuit in the legal field.  The camera records anyphysical therapy, care and treatment, and the general environment.  Audio is also recorded.  The jury is then shown an edited version of the tape generally no more than 20 minutes in length.  These tapes can be very emotional and often a settlement is made prior to showing the tape to the jury.

 

Environmental: This area generally involves a piece of property that has environmental concerns.  Flood, hurricane and storm damage, hazardous waste monitoring and new construction fall into this category.  This may be used in conjuction with aerial or satellite photography and environmental engineering reports.

Insurance: Videotaping of the contents of a home, business, or office for insurance purposes.  Serial numbers are also noted where applicable on the videotape. Still photography is a service we provide as well for cars involved in accidents.


Site Inspections: This covers a wide area including environmental, safety, construction and engineering issues.  Many times an engineer or investigator will make notes or measurments on camera and note their findings.  Some inspections require videotape to be shot every week or over a period of perhaps a year to document progress or change in conditions.

Wills: Also known as a "living will."  A person states his or her will before his or her attorney, the camera and a witness.  The lawyer then asks the person a series of questions regarding the will and his or her intentions with respect to the will. The documents are then signed in front of the camera. The videotape is kept with the will.


Accident: Accident re-construction cases provide a videotape of the road or site in question. To get a POV (point of view) shot of what the driver would see, a miniture camera is mounted on a helmet that a car driver wears.
