Send us your favourite photo. We hand-animate a one-of-a-kind short film of your dog or cat — a joyful adventure, or a gentle tribute to a friend who’s no longer here.

UK-based · delivering worldwide
Every film is drawn by hand, frame by frame, just for your pet — never auto-generated, never a template. Real animators pour genuine love and care into every single video, from the first sketch to the final frame.
Your pet as the star of their own story — surfing, skydiving, teeing off, exploring space. Playful, cinematic, and unmistakably them. The perfect birthday or “just because” surprise.
A tender, lasting film for a companion who’s passed — a gentle way to hold onto them. Made slowly and with real care, from the photos you hold dearest.
We’re a small team who happen to be a little obsessed with animals — the way a dog’s ears catch the wind, the particular tilt of a cat’s head. Every photo you send us gets looked at properly, by a person, before a single frame is made. Nothing is auto-generated and shipped without a human going over it first. Love, care and passion go into every single video we make — because your pet deserves nothing less.
Their markings, their posture, the little quirks that make them them — we keep them true to who they are, not a generic dog or cat shape.
Every film passes through loving and caring hands before it reaches you — nobody’s rushing a memorial tribute to hit a quota.
Most of us have a dog under the desk or a cat on the keyboard. We treat every order the way we’d want our own pet’s film treated.
A few films we’ve made. Your movie will be unique and one of a kind.
When a friend is gone, a film can hold a little of them still — the way they moved, the light in their eyes. We make these quietly and with great care, so you have something tender to return to. Spiritual, simple, playful — however you’d like to remember them, it’s entirely your call.
The scored soundtrack and a personalised message card are included at no extra cost for every memorial tribute.
Wings, warm light, a sense of somewhere peaceful they’ve gone on to.

No afterlife imagery — just a quiet, familiar moment, made to feel eternal.
For Willow · 2010–2025We know you are with us
Motion Foundry began with a simple belief — our pets are family, and family deserves to be remembered beautifully.
We hand-animate every film ourselves, and we score each one by ear — choosing and timing the music until it feels exactly right, the beat landing on a head-turn, a swell rising on a big moment. It’s the part we love most, and we won’t send a film until it gives us goosebumps.
Because we’ve loved and lost pets too, and we know what it means to have something that keeps them close.
And because it shouldn’t stop there — 5% of our profits go straight to animal charities, for the pets who are still waiting for their own happy ending.
A note from Jasmine
Hi, I’m Jasmine. I’ve loved animals my whole life and had a pet by my side through all of it — they’ve brought me comfort, joy and friendship I can’t imagine being without. Cookie has been my dog for the last 11 years — a Shih Tzu/Maltese mix, my fur baby, and the very first star of Motion Foundry. He’s the reason all of this began, and a little of the love I have for him goes into every single film we make.
However you love them, there’s always a moment worth turning into a little film.

Order your pet’s filmYour finished film is yours to keep and share. Personal films are licensed for personal, non-commercial use. To use a film to promote a business, product or service, a Commercial Licence is required — supplied unbranded, with commercial-use rights.
Where a soundtrack is added, we use royalty-free music sourced from properly licensed libraries and matched to your film. The music is licensed for use as part of your film — you are not purchasing the track itself, and it must not be extracted, redistributed or sold separately. We keep a record of every track and its licence.
We choose music intended to be safe to post across social platforms. Occasionally a platform’s automated system may still flag a track in error; if that happens, let us know and we’ll help you get it cleared.
One minor tweak to your finished film is included. Further revisions are £15 each. A revision is a small adjustment to the existing film — a new scene, a different pet, or a full re-do is a new order. Every preview or revision copy carries a Motion Foundry watermark to protect the work; your final delivered film is watermark-free (with a small “Made by Motion Foundry” credit unless you’ve added the Commercial Licence). Turnaround times are targets, offered subject to availability.
At checkout, you can choose whether your finished film stays private or you’re happy for us to feature it as an example of our work — entirely your call, and you can change your mind any time by letting us know.
