Forensic Animations
We work closely with experts to create clear visual aids that effectively communicate their opinions at deposition and trial. We have consulted on hundreds of crashes involving trucks. See our Truck Crash Animations page for additional examples.
Highway Rear End
Inattentive driver failed to react to a vehicle making an emergency stop and rear-ended it. |
Surveillance, DashCam and CCTV video
Crashes are recorded by a variety of cameras. We build an accurate model of the scene and vehicles, match the camera positions, then position the vehicles in each frame. Driver views are then rendered from the resulting model and motion. |
Snow Piled on Debris in Work Zone
Several feet of snow accumulated on top of a demolished sidewalk. The next day, a pickup truck driver noticed an SUV stopped at the intersection. About three seconds before he reached the T, the SUV driver pulled out in front him. He swerved, but still hit the SUV. |
Product Design: Trash Truck
The driver of a trash truck watched as a mechanic repaired the lift arms of his vehicle. When the hydraulic fluid pressure was accidentally released, the arms lowered and crushed the driver. Alternate designs would have prevented this accident and have been incorporated into later models. |
Product Design: Trailer Hitch
The mechanism to raise and lower the hitch causes the trailer hitch to move forward and backward, making it difficult to align the hitch with the ball. The actual design of the hitch allows it to be "locked", even though it is not fully seated. |
Product Design: Seat Belt Buckle
The seat belt buckle of a front end loader being used near a sand blasting area failed and the operator was injured. Video explains proper operation and failure mechanism. |

Architectural Animations
We have prepared animations of architectural subjects since 1998. See our Architectural page for samples.
