Imaging & Presentation Services
Morse Zehnter Associates is nationally recognized for our expertise in forensic investigation, environmental consulting, and material science. As a result of applying high technology to these practice areas, MZA has established a leadership position in the field of electronic imaging and engineering graphics that has become an essential component of any forensic or analytical presentation.
MZA offers a unique combination of engineering and technical consulting expertise supported by state-of-the-art imaging and presentation services. MZA's extensive in-housecapabilities provide the client with a broad range of powerful litigation presentation possibilities.
Video and Computer Animation
MZA maintains its own video and animation studio for pre-production planning, production, and post-production, including dubbing and nonlinear editing of videos. MZA provides video and photographic documentation of site inspections and forensic investigations.
Supporting our expertise in building forensics, MZA's video and animation capabilities are invaluable in recreating the scene in catastrophic building events or in explaining complex phenomena such as airflow, stack effect, or moisture intrusion.
Large-Scale Display Graphics
With extensive printing capabilities, MZA develops large-scale display graphics for trial presentations involving recent events as well as historical site conditions. Aerial photogrammetry and digital imaging are often used in these applications.
MZA provides photo documentation of site inspections for forensic or crime scene investigations. We utilize both microphotography and macrophotography as litigation support documentation.
Demonstrative Models
In our production shop, MZA designs and fabricates scale models to support our expert testimony. These models may be used as demonstrative exhibits.
In other cases, MZA may use the model to conduct a simulation in its lab, then create a video and/or computer animation to provide a visual representation explaining the issue. By combining these capabilities, MZA provides a compelling seeing is believing presentation.
