Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is 3D Animation the only service provided by Fearless Eye?
A. Not at all. We offer digital measurement for accident locations and objects, accident site video shoots and editing, photography, photogrammetry and more. For measurement of accident vehicles and other objects we utilize sonic digitizers. We have in-house audio capabilities as well. We have testified or have been deposed in State and Federal Court on numerous occasions and are available to explain our own methodology as well as offer expert analysis of other animations or other digital media.

Q. Are there other more appropriate methods for communicating my arguments?
A. Many times there are. We begin every case project with a "measurement/data collection" phase. Many cases involving site issues call for a combination of video and photography as well as superimposing graphics and text for the purposes of communicating issues of location and timing. Others may call for synchronization of audio files records such as police or ambulance scanners.

Q. How does Fearless Eye work with our firm and our team of experts?
A. The computer programs used by Fearless Eye are capable of converting or accepting data from engineering, biomechanical analysis, accident reconstruction, architecture and other fields. When we begin a project, we coordinate with your other experts, collecting all relevant data, digital and otherwise, and enter it into our computer programs. During the project we will submit multiple iterations of our visualizations to you and your experts for discussion and approval until you are satisfied that your argument is being portrayed as comprehensively as possible.

Q. Does Fearless Eye work for Defense as well as Plaintiff's Attorneys?
A. Yes. A significant percentage of our work is done for Defense Counsel. In fact many projects done by Fearless Eye are for attorneys who have regular defense accounts, or clients that do both. In addition, Fearless Eye has occasionally prepared visualizations for both counsel's arguments per their request and mutual agreement.

Q. Does Fearless Eye have experience in high profile cases?
A. Fearless Eye has had the privilege of working on cases involving NFL All-Pro Derrick Thomas, former Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan, Princess Diana, nationally renowned attorney Johnny Cochran and the Los Angeles Coliseum earthquake to name just a few.

Q. Do you charge for your consulting time?
Costs all depend on the amount of data and level of detail that needs to be portrayed. Also, many attorneys and paralegals end up using our animations as discovery tools and may request multiple versions to analyze their own positions as well as those of opposing counsel. Most visualization created by Fearless Eye cost around $7,000 to 12,000, involve a few iterations and take between 3 to 6 weeks to complete. More complex cases have been higher in cost while others have been done modestly for as little as $3 or $4,000.
Fearless Eye always gives initial consultation for free unless out-of -town travel is required. We encourage you to call our offices or e-mail our staff to discuss your case. In most cases we can give you a reasonably accurate estimate from asking a few questions.
