Legal Graphics Services
Modern legal cases often involve complex technical and scientific concepts, which can be challenging for judges and juries. Our experience demonstrates that jurors learn better and engage more when provided with visuals alongside verbal explanations. In today’s multimedia era, compelling oral arguments are crucial, but well-designed graphics and animations can significantly enhance your case’s impact.
We do it all!
Graphics Design
We have extensive, specialized graphics design capability. Our suite of custom legal graphics tools improves graphics throughput by 50% or more compared to what is possible with off-the-shelf computer graphics programs. Whether it’s organizational charts for business graphics, complex technical illustrations, or hundreds of demonstratives covering every element of a multi-patent litigation, Fulcrum’s creative staff can produce what you need, when you need it, and fast.
Computer Animation
When the concept or technology you need to explain is dynamic, computer-generated animation may be the answer. Fulcrum has created custom animations on hundreds of cases, involving semiconductor manufacturing, Internet security, cell phone communications, video technology, construction delay, products liability, medical devices, and many more subjects. From simple 2D depictions to accurate, complex 3D animations, Fulcrum handles all production responsibilities from conceptualization, scripting and design to production, narration, titling and editing. The technical backgrounds of our senior designers mean that we can understand the circuit diagrams, we can understand the CAD files, we can build accurate computer animations. And we can testify to prove the accuracy of that animation in court, if needed.
Video and Multimedia
Fulcrum offers a range of video and multimedia services including videography, still photography, narration, and editing services. Whether crawling under houses to photograph termite damage or shooting slick product photos for trade dress cases, Fulcrum photographers and videographers can handle even the toughest assignments. Once the footage or photos are shot, our editors can add computer graphics, titles, and voiceovers to create powerful and information-packed tutorials.
Strategy Development
Fulcrum’s graphics consultants have worked on thousands of cases. Each of our senior consultants typically provides support on at least 50 cases per year. We have seen what works, and seen what doesn’t work. In technology cases in particular, we can write tutorial scripts for you; create first draft Markman presentations or expert witness slide decks working from your briefs and reports. We sometimes create draft opening and closing slide decks based on outlines – and will even suggest changes to the outlines, if we see something that will help. We are your partners in developing winning presentations.
Trial Support
When show time comes, Fulcrum will be at your side. Our “hot seat” trial technicians are seasoned professionals – nearly all with over a decade in the hot seat. All of your exhibits, video depositions, graphics, and animations are integrated into state-of-the-art trial presentation software, with everything instantly accessible in court. We also provide on-site graphics support, so that you can have in-person, around the clock demonstrative production, anywhere your team needs us.
