Trial Graphics and Visualization Services

A trial graphic is a visual demonstrative used to help explain evidence, testimony, timelines, technical concepts, or disputed events in a legal matter. It may include charts, diagrams, scene layouts, 3D models, animations, photographs, or video-based reconstructions. Effective trial graphics organize complex information into a format that judges and juries can follow while remaining tied to the underlying evidence and expert opinions.

Trial presentation software is a tool used by legal teams to organize and display exhibits, documents, deposition clips, timelines, images, and demonstratives during hearings, mediations, or trial. It helps counsel present information efficiently, but it is different from forensic visualization. Forensic visualization creates the technical 3D models, animations, scans, and evidence-based graphics that may be displayed through presentation software.

Forensic animation can support many civil and criminal matters, including motor vehicle collisions, aviation incidents, fires, explosions, product failures, shootings, ballistics, industrial events, and eminent domain disputes. The animation is developed from available physical evidence, scene data, expert analysis, photographs, video, and other case materials. It is particularly useful when movement, timing, visibility, force, or spatial relationships are central issues.

Accuracy begins with the source materials. A reconstruction may incorporate physical evidence, surveys, laser scans, photographs, video, measurements, reports, and qualified expert analysis. 21st Century Forensic Animations creates dimensionally accurate exhibits and documents its methodology. Animations are grounded in physics and the available evidence where applicable, allowing the legal team and experts to review the visual’s assumptions, data sources, and final presentation.

Yes. Close-range photogrammetry can extract three-dimensional measurements and spatial information from photographs and video, including surveillance footage, dashcam footage, scene images, vehicle damage, skid marks, blood spatter, and trajectories. The usefulness of the source material depends on image quality, camera perspective, coverage, and available reference measurements. These materials can also be combined with other evidence and expert analysis.

Involve a forensic visualization firm as early as practical, especially when a scene must be documented, preserved, or measured. Early involvement can support laser scanning, drone imagery, and complete scene capture before conditions change. For cases already in litigation, the team can review existing photographs, video, reports, measurements, and expert materials to determine which animation, model, or graphic would best clarify the evidence.

Yes. 21st Century Forensic Animations provides expert witness support related to forensic visualization, laser scanning, photogrammetry, and forensic animation. The team can explain the methodologies and technologies used to produce visual reconstructions and demonstrative evidence. This support is designed for civil and criminal attorneys, courts, arbitration panels, government agencies, experts, and litigation support teams requiring technical visualization expertise.

Yes. 21st Century Forensic Animations offers a free consultation for first-time clients. During the consultation, legal teams can discuss the case type, available evidence, expert involvement, deadlines, and goals for the visual presentation. This initial discussion helps identify whether animation, laser scanning, photogrammetry, drone imagery, an interactive model, or another demonstrative approach is appropriate for the matter.
