Videography and International Depositions

Legal videographers provide many services, in addition to recording your depositions, meetings, or site inspections.  They assist in framing a deposition to keep it proceeding in a timely, orderly manner, with breaks as needed for the witness and counsel.  They act as technicians to quickly resolve any issues which can arise during the proceedings.  They often double as videographer and technician to keep a mobile videoconference running smoothly with a steady connection, eliminating interruptions.  They coordinate with the reporter to ensure the timestamps on the video match the transcripts.

During international depositions, videographers can assume several other roles as well, to ease the burden on your legal team.  For example, a videographer living in Taipei can work directly with the hotel to make certain all your conference room needs are met.  A videographer can recommend the most conveniently located restaurants for you to try while in Taipei for your depositions, as well as convenient tourist attractions you may be able to visit before returning to the States.  Should you need to dispose of exhibits after your depositions have finished, your videographer can take care of having the documents shredded and see that a certificate of destruction is delivered to you (in English).

Text, audio and video streaming is another service provided by videographers, so your team members can follow the proceedings even if they are not present for the deposition.  This can be provided to you without having to install any new software on your computer.  This service helps keep remote team members in the loop as the proceedings unfold, ultimately saving your legal team time and money.

When scheduling a site inspection, providing detailed information to your videographer guarantees that your site inspection captures the audio and video you need, whether for discovery, mediation, or an insurance investigation.  Your videographer will use this information to prepare for the inspection, taking into account any unusual technical challenges or special instructions/considerations.

Quality videographers are adept technicians more than capable of tackling unusual challenges and quick on their feet to master any unforeseen difficulties which can surface onsite.  They are experienced professionals who can calmly and quickly navigate such issues and keep your proceedings on track with little or no delay.
