Working with a Videographer

What Attorneys Should Know Before Scheduling a Legal Videographer

A short checklist of the details to confirm before you book a legal videographer — date, time, location, format, and any special requirements.

What Attorneys Should Know Before Scheduling a Legal Videographer

The basics

Confirm the date, time, and location of the proceeding, the expected length, and whether it is in person or remote. The videographer needs these to commit equipment and time.

The record

Decide what you need delivered — a clean master, synchronized transcript, edited clips, or trial-ready formats — and tell the videographer up front so the deliverables match the case plan.

Special requirements

Note anything unusual: multiple cameras, specific microphone needs, sensitive subjects, exhibits to be shown on camera, or restrictions from the court or the other side.
