This is from an animation showing the fatal crash of Ayrton Senna at the Formula 1 race at Imola in 1994. There is only one piece of film showing the fatal impact, and that is a grainy piece of footage taken from a distance.

Produced for a safety video, using camera matching techniques, we were able to show the impact from various viewpoints, and follow the car into the crash point.
