Day In the Life Video

Day in Life videos are essential and overall summary of your case. Long, didactic legal video productions are not effective but they require documentary style director Heath Eiden’s experience gives you. The vast majority of these video productions run 8-10 minutes because the industry has shown that is what is needed and attention spans require getting to the point quickly and effectively.

The goal is to present the human element of your case in a format that is viewed by the CEO, General Counsel, or other decision-makers involved with the defendant.

Eiden’s interview skills often extract emotion and details from victims that their lawyers did not previously know. You are getting a trained journalist with extensive media training and degrees from The George Washington University and New York University. 

Eiden’s won awards for his documentary work and puts the same heart into your high-impact, legal settlement documentary video. They make it obvious that only one conclusion is possible. He shows as a cinema veritae’ (real life) specialist that what really happened has changed a life forever.
