Recognizing the growing demand for video analysis in our casework – from car crashes to shootings – we have built a team dedicated to being the best. Using a scientific approach, tested methods and state-of-the-art tools, our experts routinely extract precise information from video. While these recordings often show what happened, detailed analysis is needed to quantify event timing, object positions, and motion; that’s where we come in.
In this CLE-eligible* webinar explicitly crafted for legal and insurance professionals, our video analysis specialists Tom Flynn PEng and Cole Young PE will talk about what they can extract from video, and how they do it. We hope you will join us!

The presenters – Video Analysis Webinar
Tom Flynn, MASc PEng
 |
Tom leads our video analysis group in Canada. Since joining MEA in 2012, Tom has been doing collision reconstruction work; using his engineering skills to interpret evidence like tire marks, black box data, and vehicle crush. Tom has also specialized in the analysis of video evidence, and received hundreds of hours of dedicated training. His fundamental understanding of video, combined with an engineering approach to analysis, means that Tom can accurately stabilize video, determine frame rate, correct for lens distortion and track object positions. These are key steps in determining a car’s speed, for example. Tom has reconstructed hundreds of crashes and injury-producing events, is a registered professional engineer, and has testified in court as an expert witness. Read Tom's full bio. |
Tom's presentation:
- Introduction to video analysis in forensic investigations
- Video synchronization, lens distortion, object motion and speed
- What can be done with video of a video
Cole Young, MS PE

Cole has been analyzing video since his Master’s degree, which involved studying the movement of springboard divers. Now he analyzes video from all kinds of sources: from body-worn cameras, to dashcams, surveillance systems and cell phones. He routinely extracts information such as vehicle position, movement, speed and timing from video. Cole has also analyzed videos from shootings and slip, trip and fall cases. In addition to relying on his engineering background, Cole has specialized training from authoritative organizations like the Law Enforcement & Emergency Services Video Association (LEVA). Cole leads our video analysis group in the US, is a registered professional engineer, and has testified in court as an expert witness. Read Cole's full bio. |
Cole's presentation:
- Limitations of video
- Video analysis in collision reconstruction cases
- Video analysis in injury biomechanics cases
