: : Doing one for the first time. Have been reading up on it. Any tips, advice, or warnings?
: Be sure you understand the requirements of your state. A call to the local court reporters' association should help.
: Many states require that the date and time be burned onto the video at the time of recording. No editing is permitted. Some won't even allow copying; the original tape must be delivered. That means using a VHS camcorder. Hal has a good book on legal videography for sale here at Video University. Check it out!

Hi Mark,
Doug is absolutly correct, I am looking to do legal depos, there are many
rules and regulations you need to follow, I thought it was a point and shoot thing, but I joined
legalgroup@yahoo.com, some of the best information about this type ofvideo production around.
In my State CA. you need to bee a notary inorder to do them, if you mess up on a video,
you may be liable. Lots of info on the website i mentioned.
The video university is good but not as informative as I thought, but a good primer,
since states are different some do not allow time codes, some do,
equipment, lighting, background, camera angles etc...
I am still going to do this work but not till I am completly sure of the
process.
good luck, Jes
