Legal Deposition Videographer: Philadelphia & 100-mile radius
Legal Focus Media is looking to hire more freelancers to add to our team of in-person legal deposition videographers to cover our Philadelphia regional market! LFM is one of the country's largest legal video agencies, providing services to the legal industry since 2010.
Applicants need to have experience in the audio/video field and own their own equipment kit which includes a professional video camera (non DSLR), audio mixer, 4 lavalier microphones, a collapsible backdrop, video fluid-head tripod, 2 laptops, and a few other small pieces of equipment. We’ve helped many new team members build kits from scratch job for around $1k, not including the laptops, if any of the equipment is needed. A basic in-person deposition kit is pictured on this post for reference.
Applicants need to own a reliable vehicle and will be expected to travel to markets within a 100-mile radius of their videographer’s home location frequently. Typically you are in a different place every day with different people, which is nice! We reimburse travel at the 2025 rate of $0.70/mile and all parking/toll fees with receipt submissions. If you are not interested in driving, please do not apply as this job isn’t for you!
At this job, you’ll work side by side with attorneys, court reporters, interpreters, judges, and other legal industry professionals. Job assignments typically pop up typically the day before, so this job is best for true freelancers. However, some jobs are scheduled 1-2 weeks in advance, so we pre-assign our subcontractors on jobs and perform final job confirmations the day before still. On Fridays, our team members send in their upcoming daily availability for the upcoming week , and our scheduling department prioritizes assignments based on that availability. For instance, if a team member is only available Thursday/Friday of the upcoming week, we will mark our calendar and offer jobs first to this team member on these days while offering jobs to everyone else on the team for the rest of the weekdays. This job occurs almost always only Monday-Friday as weekend jobs are very rare and pay 1.5x the rate when they occur. We only bring on new hires if you are generally available 3-4 days a minimally.
Due to the nature of legal depositions, some jobs are only 1 hour in length and some go 12+ hours. We never know how long a job will go, in advance, as there is never an end time listed. The average in-person job is around 4-6 hours and there is a 3-hour minimum payment for any jobs that last 3-hours or less.
If you feel this job would be a great addition to your freelance video career, please apply! We appreciate your patience while we review your application and we look forward to getting back to you ASAP!
We look forward to hearing from you, thank you!
