legal illustration and animation

We create clear, persuasive visual demonstratives:
	This animation, built from DEM topological data and satellite imagery of a location near Los Banos, CA, was used in an eminent domain case successfully heard in Fresno. The case centered on former highest and best use of a property.		From the same eminent domain case as on left, these precision images created by Studio Cruz were used to argue detailed points in court.

		From another eminent domain case for which Studio Cruz provided extensive graphics and videography, an example of a video overlaid with descriptive graphics. Such videos allow a jury to gain a good idea of a site when no visit is possible.	Video. Animation. Illustration. Photomontages. Physical models. Large format boards
	An example of Studio Cruz' simple, direct sketch style illustrations based on 3D computer models. These models can be amended and camera views altered to provide rapid revisions as required.		An example of more complex 3D based illustration services. These were developed for the technology company Potter Drilling. Two technical animations for Potter Drilling can be seen on the animation page of this site.
All our animations, illustrations, and models are designed for fast and easy modification.		Studio Cruz prepares illustrations and animations of human figures interacting with products and environments; this shows the operation of a bicycle gearing concept.
	A simple animation showing the operation of a projected consumer product.		Photomontage shows how a location will appear after a structure is built, how it appeared before it was built, or how it will appear after it is removed. Click on the image to see interactive examples of this.
		Another animation by Studio Cruz demonstrating the features and use of a valve concept to remove air from food storage bags.	Studio Cruz provides electronic courtroom video and PowerPoint support services.
	Studio Cruz' visualization skills were used for pre-trial planning in this model of Yolo County Court.		Click to left to download a six page white paper on electronic presentation technologies and strategy by Chris Yonge, Principal of Studio Cruz. PDF file opens in new window.
	Last but not least: Studio Cruz is a flexible, efficient company with low overheads.	As a result our demonstratives are a fraction the cost of those from large graphics firms.
