SUMMARY OF THE FORENSIC ANIMATION PROCESS

• View all vehicles involved in an accident, assess their physical condition, and measure impact damage and location
• Conduct a site survey and complete measurement of the scene
• View photographs, if available, taken at the accident scene and analyze physical evidence if it is still available
• Read police reports and witness statements
• Review all other data available
• Transform all data into a logical and accurate scenario
• Give data to the animator

The animator takes this information, builds models of the environment and vehicles, and visually creates an animation that conforms to the forensic data. The animation is reviewed by the reconstructionsit for accuracy and approved to be used as a corroborative exhibit.
