A Day-In-The-Life film can be admitted and presented to the jury through any number of witnesses who can establish the foundation for the presentation – namely that it is a fair and accurate representation of the individuals condition at the time that the filming occurred. Frequently, Day-In-The-Life films are introduced through family members, therapists, treating physicians or other caregivers.

Day-In-The-Life footage can also be effectively used during the deposition of treating physicians and therapists using interactive picture-in-picture techniques.  A witness can view the video in realtime and comment upon what he or she sees, with both the witness and film recorded simultaneously.  This is an innovative use of video and technology to create and preserve powerful testimony not only for the courtroom, but for presentation at mediation and for inclusion in video settlement documentaries.
