VIDEO EVIDENCE, THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE!

            The old saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words” is more truth than poetry.  The juries that are presented with properly prepared video evidence will stay alert and will remember far more information than those who simply hear the words without having the advantage of the corresponding visual aid that should have accompanied it. 

            Videography to the legal professional is like a copy machine to a busy office.  The legal profession has arrived at the point where it cannot successfully survive without it.  With the courts continuing to be backed up with civil cases from six to sixty months across the nation, the courts are looking for every technique possible that will speed the litigating process. 

            Video recording of only depositions is what many trial attorneys feel is what legal videography is all about.  It is not uncommon to find attorneys in this day and age refusing to take testimony at a deposition without having it video recorded.  By time you finish reading this extensive report on legal videography, you will discover that depositions is just the beginning of what the professional legal videographer has to offer!

COMPUTER GENERATED RE-INACTMENTS

            The most important use of video is not limited to just “real life” situations.  With the advent of extremely effective high-tech computer generated graphics produced on video, the trial attorney can now present a “true to life” re-enactment of an incident which otherwise would not have been available during trial.  These re-enactments have become so “real” that some judges are having second thoughts about allowing them to even be shown in court.  They contend that a viewer may believe that the re-enactment is exactly what happened rather than a depiction of what someone was told actually happened.  Again, these state-of-the-art methods are used very effectively during pre-trial hearings and many times will lead to early settlements.
