Beyond bringing your case to life, a well done settlement documentary has the power to shift negotiations in your favor and ideally persuade the opposing party to agree to your terms.

Given its gravity, a settlement documentary should be a stirring portrayal of your client’s life before the incident, highlighting subjects like their interests, hobbies and relationships, juxtaposed with a detailed account of the injury and its impact on their life, including the physical, emotional and financial toll.

Their “new normal” is a direct result of the defendant’s wrongdoing, and that story needs to be thoughtfully told.

Creating an effective settlement documentary requires the ability to sift through the elements of a case and identify the key pieces needed to create a clear, compelling and comprehensive narrative that will deliver the most impact.

Because it is not intended to be presented in court, we have the latitude to be more demonstrative, exploring means like narration, special effects, background music, evidence including police reports and accident scene photos, reenactments, on-camera interviews with expert witnesses and family members, even portions of their Day in the Life Video.

As a result, we employ all of our professional techniques and editing skills to deliver the most compelling and ultimately influential documentary possible. Most of all, we tap into humanity; both your client’s, as well as our own.

While we already feel an innate responsibility to exceed expectations in our role as certified legal video specialists, that duty is fueled even more by the victims. Sure, we realize that they will never be able to get their lives back, but being able to support you as their advocate, in maximizing their recovery, truly gives us purpose.
