Technical cases fail for the same reason medical cases do: the jury cannot see the event. An accident reconstructionist can testify that the coefficient of friction was 0.35 and the delta-V was 22 mph. The jury hears numbers. What they need is to watch the vehicle approach the intersection, see the sight lines, understand the available reaction time, and grasp why the collision was not avoidable — or why it was.
Technical animation translates engineering analysis into something a lay audience can evaluate. Not by simplifying it, but by making the spatial and temporal relationships visible. The physics stays rigorous. The presentation becomes human.
Accident reconstruction — vehicle collisions, pedestrian impacts, motorcycle accidents, commercial truck incidents, bicycle and e-scooter collisions. We work from police reports, scene measurements, LiDAR scans, photogrammetry data, EDR (black box) downloads, and expert analysis. The animation reproduces the expert’s reconstruction in a format the jury can watch, pause, and absorb.
Structural and mechanical failures — building collapses, crane accidents, scaffold failures, equipment malfunctions, industrial machinery incidents. These cases often hinge on showing how a failure propagated: which component gave way first, what loads were being applied, and what the design should have prevented.
Product failures — how a device, vehicle component, or consumer product failed under use. We visualize the failure mode, the design defect, and the alternative design that would have prevented the harm.
Construction sequences — phased construction visualizations showing what was built, in what order, and where the deviation from plans or codes occurred.
Scene visualization — spatial relationships, sight lines, distances, lighting conditions, environmental factors. Everything that answers the question “what could this person see, hear, or know at the moment it mattered?”
LiDAR scanning and photogrammetry for precise three-dimensional measurement of scenes, vehicles, and structures. These technologies capture millimeter-accurate geometry that becomes the foundation of the reconstruction, not an approximation drawn from memory or photographs.
A 2D diagram can show where two vehicles ended up. An animation can show the jury the last eight seconds before impact from the driver’s point of view — the moment the hazard became visible, the distance closing, the available reaction window shrinking. The difference is not aesthetic. It is cognitive: jurors who watch an event unfold understand causation in a way that a static image cannot produce.
