What about BluRay or High Definition
What format can expect I the final video in?
DVD is the format of choice. It retains its quality from copy to copy. We shoot on digital tape and at the same time record directly to DVD. We can provide you with the tape or the DVD. We also back up to another DVD...just in case!
We realize that there are those clients would prefer to have the end product on VHS tape. For that reason we are prepared to provide this video medium upon request.

Who maintains the original tapes of the deposition?
When the product is delivered to you, the original tapes are provided in a sealed and labeled envelope for you to maintain. If editing is needed we will pick up the originals from you and return them with the edited version. The original is never altered.
We keep a back up of all depos.

Do you provide any other type of video service that would be helpful.
Yes, we have been asked to shoot "day-in-a-life" videos to show how clients cope with their injuries. And video documentaries of businesses along with examination videos of products, machinery and their safety performance (or lack of).

Yes. As a matter of fact, our videographers are provided with a generic business card that does not have our company name on it. Your name and contact info is listed. If your client has questions they call you.

What about BluRay or High Definition
High Definition is not generally requested at depositions, however we are equipped to provide it if you wish. You should be aware however that high definition means your DVD disks will be on BluRay HD disks. And only a bluray player can play them. Unless you are set up to show bluray in court you might want to consider standard definition DVDs.
