Welcome to Alane Adams Studios! We started with the simple goal of taking readers on a visual journey through the intricate worlds that Alane crafts across her various series. After producing several award-winning book trailers our goals evolved. We wanted to be an organization that could create fun and engaging content that would not only get kids excited about reading, but would encourage them to create and tell their own stories as well. When the pandemic began in early 2020 we saw a huge need from teachers struggling to find activities for their students to engage with in the sudden shift to distance learning. We immediately began producing a Read Along series of Alane’s popular book The Blue Witch with accompanying worksheets, which proved very popular with teachers and students alike. Seeing the need for ever more high-quality free resources for teachers, we stepped up our production levels and developed a ground-breaking video series Between The Pages and Between The Pages Jr. that brings children into a fully-animated professionally crafted world and teaches them how an idea becomes a story and why reading is a superpower!

Our core mission remains getting kids engaged with and excited about reading and writing. We recently completed a 5-minute animated short based on a kids-original story written by fifth graders to inspire students to see the value in their creativity. We are hard at work at finishing a studio original Smudge and have started a new kids-original short to debut late spring 2024.

We are always looking for talented individuals to join our team as we continue to explore avenues of animation and story-telling to ignite a love of reading in children.

Our Latest Project

We are so excited to announce the release of our second animated short from our talented team of animators. This studio original was created by Alane to inspire kids to follow their dreams and become who they are meant to be. Meet Smudge, an imaginary character without a story to star in. Having grown restless waiting for his creator to reveal his purpose, Smudge embarks on a courageous caper to sneak a story of his own design into the mysterious World Book that The Inkling Society, the exclusive cadre of authors who created him, jealously guard. Complete with downloadable worksheets to support ESL and narrative writing, Smudge is the perfect mascot for young aspiring authors.

Some Of Our Past Projects

This special project was a collaboration with fifth grade students from Kelley Elementary in Carlsbad, CA who wrote us a short story which our team of animators brought to life. Our goal was to inspire students to see the magic in their stories. R.A.K.O the Robot is a Radically Animated Kids Original, and the first of many to come.
