What is forensic animation?
Forensic animation is the process of illustrating and explaining your experts' opinions through the use of computer-generated scenarios. Clear, concise and technically accurate, Katz Consulting Group's forensic animations simplify complex subject matter in a persuasive and visually powerful manner. Properly conceived and presented, a quality animation can mean the difference between winning and losing.

What forensic animation is not.
Forensic animation is not a mathematical simulation, and is not substantive evidence. It is a strictly demonstrative aid which is created based upon your experts' opinions and is used by your expert to support and explain his or her testimony.

How much does it cost?
Contrary to popular belief, a quality computer animation can be developed at reasonable cost, and need not be reserved only for "big cases". Katz Consulting Group regularly produces animations in the $5000 - $7500 range.

Are there alternatives to animation?
Absolutely. In some cases, a simple illustration or two may be more appropriate than a fully animated re-enactment. Our visual consultants have the experience to know what will work best for your case, and will advise you accordingly.
