Below you will find a list of all our services we provide

Certified video has primarily serviced the Washington DC Vicinity. We have traveled overseas for a number of assignments for confidentiality and legal continuity. We respond to when and where our client needs us.

Deposition Services:

We have shot thousands of depositions in the last 25 years. First and foremost we are videographers. We have skill sets beyond those of the usual deposition videographer. We understand video composition and the complexities of video.

Professional:

Our work meets the Federal Standards which are generally more stringent than the state standards. We are always on time with appropriate attire and attitude. We are prepared for almost any situation.

Equipment:

3 chip cameras, simultaneous recording on-site, back drops & lavalier microphones are our tools for this work. We have multi-camera capability for showing documents, computer programs, and the deponent simultaneously.

Cost:

Our costs will more than likely be less than what you pay now for this service through a Court Reporting Company.

We have some tools which let us take security camera or bad video images and enhance their visibility. We also have some very specialized audio filtering and volume adjusting software which can significantly change the quality of the recording.

Video synchronization

We take vide and transcript material and we put them together to create a very compatible file accepted by most trial software programs. As a stand-alone file you can go to anywhere in the transcript and have the video play from that point onward. It is an excellent way to deliver case material in trial and it is very flexible.

Photography

Professional quality digital photography is available to help in case development. We have used photography in a number of cases that needed to bring excellent quality stills to the jury or judge. Visual experience and knowledge of lighting is the key ingredient for sharp presentation.
