Storyboard for Litigation

Understanding And Utilizing
Storyboards, Concept Art and Animatics
To Achieve A Successful Litigation Outcome

It can be a somewhat daunting process to evaluate and communicate verbally with a client who has suffered a personal injury due to a fall or slip, or have had the misfortune of experiencing a traumatic life event due to an accident at work, wrongful death, homicide, medical malpractice,
vehicular incident or otherwise.

Recall of events specific to such an event may be difficult to attain without visual aids.

Brian McGee has over 24 years experience working within the motion picture, TV, advertising and animation industry and has worked directly with Production Teams – nationally and internationally and is now able to utilize his skills and experience he has attained over the years and is bringing his years of acumen to the legal arena.

A Picture Paints A Thousand Words

What Are Storyboards?

A storyboard is a series of images outlining the sequence of events in a given account of a story which enables the minute details of an incident or event to be explained and documented quickly and accurately.

Verbally communicated events may have concepts that are difficult to explain and can be better elucidated by visualization. Storyboards offer a versatile and effective solution to these kinds of problems that may arise in litigation.

The use of storyboards on your case can help reduce the overwhelming amount of elements from the depositions and make the details and experience easier to understand or comprehend.

For example: If there was a crash at an intersection involving more than one vehicle, storyboards can help to clarify and explain the events that led to the collision in sequence of events, the injuries sustained by the accident, general overall directions of all vehicles involved and other factors. Witness statements could be validated and clarified through multiple points of views and angles. Subjective words like “right” and “left” could be objectified. Any visible evidence and their physical relationship to the scene could be detailed, essentially, bringing you “into” the incident itself. Through the visual imagery of drawings, storyboarding will allow for a clearer and simplified understanding of the details of the case, and substantially reduce the amount of time needed to grasp them.

How Storyboard Can Help YOUR CASE!

The essence of storyboards, concept art and animatics will allow your legal team to be able to:

Assist Opening Statements in a more improved and succinct manner, thus providing detailed visual imagery to better convey the scenario
Allow closing arguments to be concise, accurate and understandable to jurors, the courtroom, legal team and all parties involved in the case
Furnish all parties with clear and truthful representations of the events at mediation or arbitration
And, when presenting complex legal concepts, storyboards will facilitate the smooth and effortless transition of information and legal details.

Your legal team no longer has to rely on just the verbal communication with a client, but can now to in a position to convey a story or presentation of the events with the use of images.

For example, in the case of a personal inquiry or malpractice case, the construction of storyboards is a process by which illustrations are used in a way that captures the scenario and allows all concerned – from the clients, to the legal team, to the jurors and the judges – to see and envisage the same story.

Within the TV and movie industry, storyboarding is an essential tool for assisting the Director and production team in bridging concepts from written or spoken word into the silver screen as well as providing important data for budgeting purposes.
