Description
|
Granite State Graphics is a sole proprietorship located in Dover, New Hampshire. We started out in June of 1999 to accommodate the specific needs of accident reconstruction professionals, fraud investigators, police officers, lawyers and others in the accident reconstruction field.
Since that time, we have invested in state-of-the-art hardware and software and are always ready to meet some of the more technical demands of our clients. We are especially pleased to announce that we have acquired Discreet's 3D Studio MAX - the most widely used 3D animation software on the NT platform. With this software, we are able to produce what we consider to be some of the most impressive technical illustrations and animations in the industry.
Our current client base includes customers from California to Minnesota to Massachusetts and more. Through the use of the Internet, we have found that the normal boundaries of distance which were once prohibitive are quickly evaporating as more people are able to conduct business online. We enjoy being able to use this medium as a way to keep our clients informed of our progress on their projects like never before.
In 2000, Granite State Graphics was profiled in a story about reconstruction animations which appeared on National Public Radio's "Beyond Computers". |

Other Notes
|
Over the past nine years, John Breen has honed his skills in the creation of forensic animations. He has worked for one of the nation's leading accident reconstruction firms, directly assisting a number of reconstructionists in the creation of courtroom presentations (including static displays and reconstruction animations). His ability to create professional, easy-to-understand, yet technical illustrations and animations has proven to be valuable in numerous litigation situations (including courtroom presentations and mediation hearings).
John's work has appeared on ABC's 20/20, in educational materials for Allstate Insurance, and in SOAR's The SOARce newsletter. He was granted honorary status in the IAARS (International Association of Accident Reconstruction Specialists) for his video production work of their conference footage and his assistance in providing the organization with an Internet presence. John was also presented with 3D Design Magazine's Big Kahuna award in 1998 for |

Project 1
Forensic Animations
Our main specialty is accident reconstruction animations including those depicting pedestrians, tractor trailers, bicycles, and other vehicles. Using today's best software (such as Discreet's 3D Studio MAX), we are able to depict a wide variety of situations such as snow-covered roads, foggy and nighttime conditions. More importantly though, we understand issues such as time/distance relationships and sightline issues and have what we feel are unique, yet clear ways to present these facts. |
Project 2
Technical Illustrations / Courtroom Displays
In addition to providing animation stills (when a full animation is not preferred), complex issues can be illustrated using 3D-generated charts, diagrams, and pictures. Photographs and reports can be enlarged and modified to highlight significant statements or facts. |
Project 3
Video Editing
Have some raw footage you need edited? Want to stick your company logo down in the corner (like the big guys)? Just want to add some text and graphics here and there? We have the ability to do all this and more. |
