Job Description

ApertureAlley, based in New Jersey, is seeking experienced, detail-oriented freelance Legal Videographers to capture legal depositions with an emphasis on remote coverage across all U.S. time zones. This is a flexible 1099 contract position for dependable professionals who value accuracy, quality, and consistency in a legal environment. While headquartered in NJ, hybrid roles may be performed in any U.S. state.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of video production workflow
• Excellent communication and customer service skills (phone, text, email, Slack)
• Proficiency with OBS & Zoom (non-negotiable for remote coverage)
• Ability to lift 50 lbs (for future onsite assignments)

Responsibilities

• Accurately and reliably record legal depositions according to client and legal standards
• Set up and manage remote deposition recording systems (OBS & Zoom proficiency required)
• Communicate clearly and professionally via email, text, and Slack
• Submit accurate daily invoices and escalate issues promptly to ensure client satisfaction

Compensation

• Remote Coverage: $25/hr (2-hour minimum per job)
• In-Person Coverage: $30/hr (3-hour minimum per job) + mileage ($0.50/mi), tolls, and parking reimbursed
• Payment Terms: NET 90 — though payment may often be made earlier (NET 30–60 depending on client)

Required Equipment (REMOTE Priority)

• Two laptops or desktop computers (one dedicated to Zoom, one dedicated to OBS recording) with 2 screens
• High-speed, reliable internet (wired Ethernet strongly preferred)
• External webcam (1080p or higher)
• USB/XLR microphone with clear audio pickup (lav or headset acceptable)
• Headphones (to monitor without feedback)
• UPS/power backup recommended

Secondary (In-Person Coverage)

Local candidates in NJ, NY, and PA may also grow into in-person deposition coverage. If pursuing onsite work in the future, required gear includes:

• Professional camcorder with XLR input and date/time stamp (720p or higher; no 4K required)
• Sturdy tripod
• 4-channel audio mixer + 4–5 XLR lavalier microphones
• XLR cables
• Neutral backdrop (gray, blue, white, or black)
• Reliable transportation (vehicle required for travel)

Additional Notes

• This is a freelance contractor role — you must own your gear and manage your own taxes.
• This work should not be your sole source of income, though consistent contractors may see steady weekly hours.
• Opportunities for onsite coverage are available for those who want to expand into hybrid work.

Application Questions

• What Gear do you have? What computers and cameras?
• Where are you located? Are you only interested in remote coverage or in-person as well?
• Did you review our compensation and understand that our in-person rates are currently $30 an hour and remote is $25 an hour, and payments are made at NET 90 unless the client pays us sooner?
• Do you expect this job to be your main source of income? Or are you a true freelancer that has other clients to keep you busy when we do not have a ton of work? What other clients do you have?
