American Guild of Court Videographers

Casper, WY: The American Guild of Court Videographers is proud to announce the certification of professional videographer Jeffrey T. DeMello, owner of Stockton Legal Video Services, a division of DeMello Video & Photo Services LLC, located in Stockton, California as a “Certified Court Video Specialist” (CCVS) after having successfully completing all the requirements of the AGCV for certification as a forensic videographer.

The AGCV is the only organization in the United States that is training and certifying professional videographers in all phases of legal video. As a “Fellow” in good standing in the AGCV, Mr. DeMello becomes one of a very few in the nation allowed to promote and advertise their expertise in the field of legal video using the official logo and certification provided by the AGCV.

The AGCV training includes preparing its members in meeting all the stipulations of the Federal Rule 30 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence in regard to the video taping of depositions, producing day-in-the-life and settlement documentaries, taping scenes of crimes and incidents, showing video evidence of damages, video recording mock trials, the will execution ceremony, construction surveys and actually displaying the video evidence in the courtroom during trial.

The certification provided by the AGCV is limited to “professional videographers” as the AGCV is not in the business of training amateurs on the operation of a video camera. To meet the requirements of the rapidly changing technology, each certified member is required to stay abreast of the profession by completing additional continuing education.

To be certified as an expert in this exciting and exacting legal video profession is indeed a great accomplishment and we at AVP extend our congratulations to Jeff.
