Video Services
Video is provocative. It holds the viewer's attention.
When case information is specialized, intricate or multifaceted, such
as in intellectual property and securities litigation, you may want to lay foundation
for the judge or arbitration panel before your hearing or trial begins.
We design, produce and direct tutorials that combine video and animation
to clarify your underlying arguments. Then we make the tutorial available
in whatever format you need — tape, CD or DVD — to help the judge
fully comprehend the elements of your case.
When a site tour will inform and convince a jury of your arguments, say
in an environmental or construction defects case, but you can't physically take them there,
Clear Case Legal employs broadcast quality production and editing skills
to bring the site into the courtroom. And when you need to educate a jury
about a job or a process or a lifestyle that is beyond common experience,
we apply our years of television and storytelling skills by going on location
to videotape and produce a "Day in the Life" video that makes your argument
crystal clear -- all with the impact of television.
Videotape depositions are more telling, more powerful,
than text depositions. If you plan to build your case using a deponent's
testimony - or plan to impeach a witness - it is far more persuasive for
the testimony to be seen and heard by the jury than re-read to them.
First and foremost, your deponent must be properly prepared - not just
with the facts, but also to be in front of a camera. He or she must look
credible at all times, not just when speaking. At Clear Case Legal, our
Litigation Consultants have many years of experience training and directing people
who have never been in front of a camera. We coach your deponents to be
more comfortable, competent and well received as the camera rolls. Remember,
this may be the testimony that's seen in court.
The quality of the videotaping is also critical to you and the jury. How
is the deponent framed? How is the deponent lit? What is going on around
and behind the deponent? Can you clearly hear your questions and those
of opposing counsel? If all these elements are not right, you are wasting
your money. A professional video deposition shouldn't cost more than a
sloppy one, but the impact on a jury will be dramatically different.
Professionally edited, your video depositions tell a compelling story.
We can show you creative ways to present the raw deposition and we can
design additional ways to integrate key video testimony into your demonstratives.
We edit and post in our own state-of-the-art suite.
