FAQs
WHAT IS AN INTERACTIVE PRESENTATION?
Interactive legal presentations are custom made, EXE applications that run on your Windows laptop or computer and provide interactive demonstrative visuals for use in trial, arbitration, mediation, or any other hearing, where visuals would help explain your story case clearly and engagingly.
CAN YOU MAKE CHANGES QUICKLY?
Yes absolutely. In fact the entire development workflow created by Voytek Studios has be predicated on, and shaped by the fact that trial attorneys and trail teams may need last minute changes.
WHAT IS A TYPICAL CASE LIKE FOR VOYTEK STUDIOS?
Trial teams usually engage with Voytek Studios when they realize the themes they are trying to convey are too; voluminous, data-intensive, abstract, complicated, or require a Ph.D. to understand. Or if they do not want to produce yet another unending, overly worded, ubiquitous slide show.
Most typically, I’m engaged early on and, at a minimum, create an interactive chronology of the sequence of events relevant to the case. This chronology is used internally during trial team meetings to get a feel for how the developing themes will be received; then, more visuals are developed as themes are. The presentation is then used at mediation, then modified if mediation is unsuccessful. Used at mock trial, then further refined. Then ultimately used at trial for opening, testimony, rebuttals, and closing as a demonstrative aid. Voytek Studios is available at any time throughout this process to assist in any way.
WHO WOULD RUN AN INTERACTIVE PRESENTATION DURING TRIAL?
The person designated as your operator or hot-seat operator will run your presentation. Presentations created by Voytek Studios are specifically designed to be easy to use, install, run, and share.
WHEN SHOULD WE ENGAGE WITH A COMPANY LIKE VOYTEK STUDIOS?
As early as possible is best; however, most trial teams contact me about 90 days before trial; about the same time, their expert reports are due. By then, they know if their expert’s testimony will require visuals as well.
DO YOU CHARGE FOR CONSULTATIONS?
No, consultations are free; I’m happy to talk to anyone who wants to get an idea if a Voytek Studios presentation is right for them or their case.
HOW MANY TRIALS HAVE YOU SUPPORTED IN YOUR CAREER?
Approximately 1,200 over the past 25 years. Voytek studios also specialize in data visualizations, complicated construction, and environmental cases involving large maps and data sets, officer-involved shooting cases, enhanced video presentations, and mediation presentations of all kinds, as these are the most commonly requested applications.
HOW WOULD YOUR SERVICES SUPPORT OUR TRIAL TEAM FOR OUR NEXT TRIAL OR MEDIATION?
Think of Voytek Studios as the art department for your next case. You will need demonstrative visuals to bring your case's themes to life and educate your jury or mediator engagingly and memorably. As more and more courtrooms have presentation technology installed, there is more opportunity to utilize the presentation value and visual organization of custom-developed interactive presentation.
DO I NEED ANY SPECIAL SOFTWARE TO RUN A VOYTEK STUDIOS PRESENTATION?
Not at all. All presentations will be delivered to your firm as an EXE file. Just double click to launch the presentation, and it will open on your Windows computer full screen.
