Sworn Deposition Testimony may be used in court, and the Court Reporter transcribes the testimony into a written record. Depositions often take hours, days or even longer, and that transcript can be quite lengthy. But there is also another downside...

A written transcript may consist of Volumes of Testimony...
But that Testimony Cannot Convey the Demeanor of the Deponent!

A videotaped deposition communicates demeanor, facial expressions and vocal inflections clearly to a jury, eliminating the confusion a written transcription alone may cause.

We use professional equipment and perform our duties at or above the strictest standards established by the Federal Rules for Civil Procedure (Rule 30); State Court if applicable; and the National Court Reporters Association.

Huntridge deposition videographers are Certified Legal Video Specialists. We work with the Court Reportes to assure a reliable and accurate record.

Mat Hunt helped to draft South Carolina's legal deposition procedures. (Most of which were "rubberstamped" into many subsequent state & the prevailing Federal rules mentioned above).

Don Cely is a board member of the national NCRA/CLVS council.

Huntridge videographers use high-quality digital formats to record depositions, even HiDef if requested. Delivery of the final product can be made in any format. Most clients order a DVD that is playable fullscreen on a computer or conventional "set-top" player.  

A valuable option is the SYNC, in which the video deposition and transcript are combined to provide a convenient, searchable record.  Sync DVDs can be used with popular trial presentation software such as Sanction, TrialDirector and even PowerPoint.  We produce our Syncs in-house for the best quality and reliability.
