Awesome Dog Studio
An independent UK studio with a motion capture studio of its own. We're making SHEP: Save the Flock, we capture professional dance and gesture animation for other creators, and since 2004 we've been making content for virtual worlds as Abranimations®, from dances to toys, games and vehicles.
What we make
Three sides to one studio, all built on twenty years of real performance and animation.

SHEP: Save the Flock
A sheep-herding puzzle game. Our first game, and fittingly for a studio called Awesome Dog, it stars a sheepdog.
Awesome Dog Mocap
Real dancers. Real motion capture.
Dance and gesture animation performed by professional dancers and actors in our optical motion capture studio, cleaned, looped and ready for Unreal Engine or any FBX pipeline.
Abranimations®
From Second Life to your game
Our Second Life store opened in 2004 and is one of the oldest still trading. Its dances come from the same professional dancers and the same studio as Awesome Dog Mocap, so if you love them in-world, you can use them in your own games and animation too.
Twenty years of motion
From one of Second Life's oldest stores to our own motion capture studio, and now our own games. Same dog, new tricks.
