AnimaSapien is precision engineered to a super small compact size to lift the restrictions on character design and scaling.

With laser cut steel components along with hardened stainless steel 4mm threaded balls provide an unbeatable value for money, professional armature kit for use in any stop motion animation project.

Designed and developed by Julian Clark, an in-house Sculptor/Model Maker for a Kent based animation company with over 20 years experience in his field. This kit has been developed to enable professional and amateur animators a studio-like finish to their projects without spending hundreds of pounds.
