Here it is, as promised, my “movie” with Jason R. Baron. Turn on HD (upper right corner of the viewer) and view in full screen mode (lower right corner) for best results. Also, suggest you play the music loud on quality speakers.
This 6 minute 42 second video, entitled e-discovery: Did you know?, premiered yesterday in New York at LegalTech. It was shown just before my heated debate with Jason Baron and Jeane Thomas on search methods, critiqued by none other than Judge Paul Grimm. It appeared to me that Judge Grimm’s comments all strongly favored my positions, although we are still awaiting a formal ruling. No doubt a 128 page opinion will be issued soon after he has had an chance to reflect upon the merits of the Go Fish v. Where’s Waldo debate.
You are free to embed this movie in your web and otherwise use it however you like. It makes a good introduction for presentations and CLEs on technology or electronic discovery. It works best in a dark room with good speakers at high volume. I’ll also add it to YouTube soon, for further free distribution. For more information on the movie and how it came about see the interview that Jason and I gave to The Posse List: Putting the “tsunami of e-data” in perspective.
Did you know it took Jason and me six months to research and put this together? So, if you have a reaction to this movie, hopefully a good one, please do us a favor and leave a comment below.

Are all the stats and numbers in this presentation accurate or were they just guessed at? If they are correct, do you have sources or citations for that information (where you obtained the information stated in this presentation)? Thanks, TJ
Ralph- I orignally saw this video at the sneak peek you gave at the Georgetown Institute, and I think it’s just terrific! It makes eDiscovery geeks everywhere look good by association.
I’m begining in-house eDiscovery training at my firm shortly and was going to take you up on your offer to use the video as an intro. Then it occured to me that everything that comes after your video is going to be boring by comparison–my material can’t stand up to that. I’m thinking instead I’ll show it at the end as a reward or half way as a shot of energy. Either way, great stuff!
absolutely love the video. great content, makes you pause and think about the future.
btw, which one of you is a techno music fan?
Jason is the “musical genius.” I take credit only for recognizing that he picked a winner and agreeing immediately with his selection. Its a great piece. Makes you move. For more detail on the creative process behind the “movie,” including the music, see our interview on The Posse List at http://www.theposselist.com/2010/01/28/an-interview-with-jason-r-baron-and-ralph-losey-putting-the-tsunami-of-e-data-in-perspective/
I will edit the blog to add this link.
Nicely done! Great tool for making the point about the volume of information that might have to be “discovered”.
wOw! from the video, “What happens when the smart computers start building computers that we can’t understand?”
Precisely why I opted not got go to law school. Too much ESI to process– I could see it coming. Fun video.
Would really like to know – 22% to 78% increase in detection of records.
What were the alternative search methods used?

Peter.
[…] In a nutshell, ediscovery is expanding exponentially. How much. Well, just look at the presentation by clicking here. […]
Brilliant. Simply brilliant. And I love the music. Not surprising that Jason is the super cool music guy of the duo. He’s a regular at the trendiest dance clubs in DC.
Thanks to both of you and J. Grimm for including me in a great panel. Looking forward to the next time….
Outstanding presentation. As one who has been preaching the Concept/Content Search gospel for years in order to augment keyword/boolean search the TREC study slide is real validation. Beautiful presentation. Well done. Any chance I can get the flash file of this so that I can show it when I am offline?
Wonderful work. As it stands, I’ve shown this film to a handful of lawyers, and more than a handful of non-lawyers, and the general consensus couldn’t be more positive. What works best about the movie (for me, anyway) is the fact that it articulates and illustrates the vital importance of this field of law, by appealing to people’s (and I mean “people,” not just lawyers and law students)informed notions of technology, and how the growth of that technology is quickly impacting every man’s day in court.
Again, well done. I plan on showing this to my mother this weekend, to give her a better idea of what I’ll be doing once I get my J.D., aside from drafting wills for my family members.

Exceptional use of information and graphics. You create an atmosphere of heightened awareness and a sense of urgency to manage this runaway train – now.
[…] As we have chronicled in numerous posts, electronic content is growing by leaps and bounds. How bad? Check out this video from Jason R. Baron and Ralph Losey (click here). […]
I am doing a presentation on ESI (law) and this has been invaluable! Problem is that showing this high impact video leaves me with no input of my own as you leave nothing more to add to the subject.
No doubt lawyers and others viewing this thought provoking information will leave well informed if not perhaps a tad overwhelmed by what lies ahead in the future. ‘Infinite’ springs to mind…’thank you’ this is excellent!!!
[…] Several terabytes? HA! Child’s play!! Yes, the world of “Big Data” as applied to the legal litigation world is enormous as smartly detailed by Ralph Losey and Jason Baron in their YouTube video “Did You Know?” (click here). […]
