Forensic 3D Animation for
Accident Reconstruction

Courtroom animations built
from expert data since 1991

See examples of casework below

About

The presentations and animations here have been used in Federal and State Courts and in mediation. I’ve been creating 3D model environments and animations for the legal community since 1991.

As project manager for architectural and civil engineering firms, I produced 3D animations and presentations for industrial clients throughout the East Coast.

Most of my projects now come through expert groups and law firms. Nothing explains events and mechanisms in time and space better than a 3D model and animation. They also help experts form, test and support their opinions.  

Modern tools and resources have made this work affordable and realistic for any budget.

Examples 1

  •  

    Multi-vehicle accident

    An Improper roadblock lead to this motorcycle pileup. This project used NY State GIS data to create the environment.

  •  

    Drowning

    This animation illustrated the lifeguards liability in this drowning.

  •  

    Running Red Light

    Passenger was run over crossing the street when the bus driver advanced through a red light.

  •  

    Electrical Fire

    Fire caused by improperly installed power cable.

Examples 2

  •  

    Planar Accident

    Operator lost sight of assistant who was too close as Planar turned.

  •  

    Pedestrian test

    With a hand drawing for reference this animation was used to test timing.

  •  

    Compilation

    This multi-screen video presents various past projects.

  •  

    Character Animation

    An example of Character Animation using motion capture and a physics based program.

Examples 3

  •  

    3D camera matching

    This is an example of using photo imagery background for the environment. The 3D animation composite is achieved through camera matching.

  •  

    Pose to pose animation

    This is an example of pose to pose animation. This method tells the story while requiring much less time to create the character animation.

    Solar Study

    A solar panel study was achieved using Google Earth Pro for the 3D content.

  •  

    Solar Study2

    This shows 40 panels on southerly and westerly roofing. 3D content was captured from Google Earth Pro.
