Brian Ness is a Certified Deposition Video Specialist (CDVS).

Visual Technologies is proud to announce that our in-house videographer, Brian Ness, is certified with the American Guild of Court Videographers by receiving the title of a Certified Deposition Video Specialist (CDVS). Brian received this certification in July 2008 by completing both a written exam and a sample deposition to demonstrate correct procedures.

Founded in 1995 by Dr. Gayle Marquette assisted by ten of the top legal videographers in the nation, the American Guild of Court Videographers(AGCV) is the only organization on the planet made up of professional videographers specifically trained in all aspects of legal videography. 

Recognizing the requirements of Rule 30 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures, the Rules 1000-1007 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, in addition to the State and District Court rules, and understanding there are certain things which cannot be included in legal video evidence that will be introduced into a trial, the AGCV has dedicated itself to training professional legal videographers in all aspects of video recording visual evidence, including the final preparation of the evidence so that it cannot be impeached and thrown out of court.
