Videography

All Planet Depos Jung-gu legal videographers shoot in digital format using professional-grade, high-definition cameras. A simultaneous video and audio backup is recorded on a DVD recorder for redundancy. On the rare occasion when technical issues arise, our videographers are trained to resolve any such issues onsite and without delay.

In addition to deposition videos, videographers are trained to shoot high-definition picture-in-picture depositions, day-in-the-life videos, mediation or settlement videos, site inspections and mock depositions. Our videographers are trained in trial presentation, onsite editing and mobile videoconferencing.

Interpretation

Our pre-qualified interpreters are assigned to cases based on experience, knowledge of the subject matter, as well as skill in integrating cultural distinctions. We provide interpreting services worldwide in all languages. There are two types of interpretation services: Simultaneous and Consecutive. While Simultaneous Interpreting is typically utilized in non-legal proceedings, such as at the United Nations, Consecutive Interpreting is typically used in legal proceedings, such as depositions, arbitrations, hearings and trials. In legal proceedings, the consecutive interpreter sits beside the witness, listening and taking notes or utilizing the simultaneous realtime translation as provided by a stenographic court reporter, as the witness progresses through his/her answer.

Having the realtime translation available on a laptop, Netbook or iPad greatly enhances the accuracy and speed of the interpretation as the interpreter has the benefit of the full question before and during the interpretation. Utilizing realtime reporting further allows for the full meaning of the source-language message to be understood before the interpreter renders it in the target language and affords a truer, more accurate interpretation than if the interpreter had to rely on his/her notes while providing the interpretation.
