Frequently Asked Questions

At Allrise, one of our objectives is to ensure that our clients have all the information they desire about the animation and graphics process. We have a deep passion for both, so we are delighted to address any questions you may have. Whether it pertains to the process, pricing, visual strategy, or feasibility, we are eager to assist you. Below, you will find a compilation of frequently asked questions. In the event that you can't fine the answer you're looking for, please don't hesitate to give us a call. We're here to help and would be delighted to hear from you.

Every case is unique, and the visual representation required can vary significantly. In some instances, a few highlighted lines of text in a PowerPoint presentation may suffice, while others may benefit from a recreation of an event or a simplified depiction of a complex scenario that would otherwise be challenging to explain verbally. At Allrise, we utilize a diverse range of visual formats to effectively convey your most important details. 

The choice of visual medium we recommend largely depends on the specific information you need to convey to a jury. Certain cases necessitate the visualization of substantial amounts of data and facts through easily understandable charts, graphs, timelines, or illustrations. Conversely, other cases require the portrayal of a client’s experience during an accident or traumatic event, with a focus on capturing the emotional impact. In such instances, a 3D animation or interactive experience that allows for the precise highlighting, slowing down, or framing of specific details over time may be a more effective visual strategy.

We suggest starting with a brief consultation via phone call to discuss your intention of utilizing visual aids and for us to gather the necessary details about your case. Based on this information, we will develop a visual plan and provide you with a quote for your review. 

Here are a few commonly used methods of getting animations and graphics admissible in trial:

  1. Expert witness: One of the most reliable and frequently used approaches is to incorporate the trial animation into the report of an expert witness. The animation serves as part of their report and a visual aid to assist the expert in explaining their analysis to the jury. 

  2. Client testimony: When aiming to convey your client’s perspective to the jury, it is often beneficial to visualize their experience precisely. We can work with your client to recreate their account and meticulously translate each word into frame-by-frame visuals. If direct communication with your client is not possible, we can utilize official testimony or statements to accurately reconstruct the event.

  3. Animation as a demonstrative: Animations can be categorized as either demonstrative or technical/simulation. Demonstrative animations are designed to help the jury comprehend the concepts you need to explain. For instance, if you want to clarify what a herniated disc is, using a 3D model or sculpture of a herniated disc as a visual aid can be effective. Demonstrative animations serve a similar purpose but can go beyond the limitations of physical models or printed materials. On the other hand, technical or simulation animations involve creating an animation based on physical data and attributes that existed during the actual event. For example, if we are tasked with recreating a car accident as a technical animation, an accident reconstruction engineer would investigate and gather relevant information such as speed, road curvature, lighting conditions, etc. This data would be used to simulate the real-world event in a photorealistic 3D animation. Both methods are valuable yet distinct, and it is not necessary to use one in conjunction with the other. Demonstrative animations are often more easily admissible in trial due to their intended use

 

The cost of animation or graphic can vary significantly depending on various factors. Prices can range from the low thousands to tens of thousands of dollars for high-end, photo-realistic animations that show and explain complex ideas and events

To ensure that we provide you with the most accurate quote and visual strategy, we recommend starting with a brief consultation to discuss your intention of using visual aids, showcase examples of previously created animations that are similar to your case type, and ask and answer questions. This initial discussion via Zoom or a phone call will allow us to gather the necessary details about your case and develop a tailored visual strategy. Following the consultation, we’ll provide you with a detailed quote for your review.

Absolutely! We form partnerships and engage in collaborative efforts with attorneys and experts across the United States. Regardless of your location or the specific timing of your needs, we are committed and ready to assist you.

The duration for completing an animation or graphic project varies significantly based on the specific requirements and scope of the project. On average, turnaround times for animations range from 2 to 4 weeks. However, it’s worth noting that we have successfully delivered highly impactful animations in under a week, while more complex projects have extended beyond 3 months. Our goal is to ensure that we allocate the necessary time and resources to create a compelling and effective final product that meets your specific needs.
