Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

We record in-person, remote, and hybrid depositions for law firms and court reporting agencies across New England and Eastern NY State.

For remote depositions, we use reliable platforms like Zoom to connect all parties. Our team provides technical guidance and support before and during the deposition to ensure smooth, high-quality audio and video recordings.

Every remote deposition we record, we offer our clients both a "witness-only" recording and a "picture-in-picture" recording. A "picture-in-picture" recording includes the screen-shared exhibits, side-by-side with a view of the deponent, whenever they are presented throughout the deposition.

A hybrid deposition is held in person, but with some participants joining remotely through Zoom. Our videographer streams a clean, professional view of the deponent and pulls in the individual audio feeds from each person in the room—each captured on their own microphone. Those attending remotely feel like they are in the room and can hear each person clearly.

At New England Video Depositions, we strive to set ourselves apart from other legal video companies by always providing dependable, highly experienced legal videographers who understand the importance of recording the highest-quality video possible, while knowing their role in the room during a deposition.

We believe that deposition videos shouldn't just be acceptable, they should be impactful. High-quality video helps ensure that testimony is captured and presented in a way that supports accurate assessment. Clear visuals and intelligible audio allow judges and juries to focus on the witness’s demeanor and responses, contributing to a more reliable understanding of the record.

Video depositions capture what a written transcript simply can’t—facial expressions, emotions, vocal tone, gestures, and overall body language. These visual and vocal cues can help inform how a judge or jury evaluates a witness’s credibility and reliability. Many attorneys also find that witnesses tend to give more trustworthy and consistent answers while being recorded. 

Both legal videographers and court reporters follow a strict code of ethics that require complete neutrality. We serve as impartial observers of the proceeding, avoiding conflicts of interest and ensuring a fair, accurate, and reliable record for all parties involved. By hiring a certified legal videographer, you can be assured that the video record remains authentic, unaltered, and admissible as evidence in court.

At New England Video Depositions, our legal videographers record the highest-quality video and audio possible during a deposition by using professional lavalier microphones, digital mixers, video cameras and back-up recorders. We want your deposition videos to be impactful, not just acceptable.
