Video Deposition
Stockton Legal Video records depositions in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(4) which governs the taking of video recorded depositions to be admitted in a court of law.
Video recording is the best method to effectively present the visual and verbal communication cues of the witness. It is the best alternative to a live appearance of an unavailable key witness.
We record depositions with no lighting (to make the deponent forget they are being taped) and simple backgrounds. Microphones are placed on the deponent, deposing attorney(s), opposing attorney(s) and videographer.
Video recorded depositions can be synchronized with the court reporter's written transcript. This provides a very useful tool for reviewing the deposition and trial presentation.
Our depositions are recorded in professional Digital Video (DV) format, with year-month-date-day-hour-minute-seconds burned into the lower third of the image.
Stockton Legal Video can provide duplicates of the original video on DVD, VHS videotape, MPEG-1, or synchronized video.
In addition, an audio recording is made for the convenience of the stenographic court reporter.
Deposition videos are delivered with a Tape Log, Objections and Colloquy Log, and proper labeling and packaging. The Original video is delivered to the client with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
