Animating a Scene to Resolve a Case

​M​any attorneys think of ​3​d animation as a nice “extra” for trial: pretty pictures to help convince a jury to ​believe their narrative. ​I​n fact, the real value of ​scene reconstruction work ​is ​​unlocked ​at the beginning of a case when it can be used to provide a​ visual framework for interpreting details, ​evaluating witness accounts, and discussing ​case strategy.​ When opposing parties get a preview of exhibits that could be shown at trial, it becomes easier to reach a common understanding on key issues and negotiate a settlement. This 55 minute presentation profiles three cases that never went to trial, and how a reconstructed scene helped support that outcome.
