About the project
Prepared for legal proceedings, this reconstruction illustrates the sequence of a three-vehicle collision. It opens with a title card, then shows from road level how the rear vehicle strikes the middle car at 41 mph and pushes it forward into the vehicle ahead, which had stopped at the junction waiting for the signal. The initial and secondary impacts are marked, and each vehicle carries a short label naming its role.
The film then moves to an overhead view that shows where each vehicle ended up. By showing the vehicle positions, movements and points of impact in order, the animation gives the court a clear account of how the accident occurred and supports the client's point that the middle driver did not initiate the collision. The studio's credit closes the animation.

The outcome
We delivered a 26-second video that helped the client make their point clearly.
