About Innovelore Entertainment

Innovelore Entertainment is an independent animation, illustration and narrative production studio based in Gilbert, Arizona, within the Phoenix metropolitan area. Founded in 2016, it develops original intellectual property for film, television and other storytelling formats. Its work encompasses animated and live-action projects, series concepts, visual novels and literary illustration.

The company began with commissioned illustration and creative visual development, then expanded into animation and narrative film production in 2017. A two-division structure formalized in 2019 separated proprietary storytelling from external commissions: Innovelore focuses on original content, while sister studio Velorean Productions handles commercial advertising, music videos and outsourced animation and film work. This arrangement gives the two brands distinct production priorities under shared executive leadership.

Story development and animation

Innovelore's capabilities span story development, scriptwriting, storyboarding, visual development and animatics through character animation and production integration. Its animation approaches include traditional hand-drawn and cel animation, digital 2D and puppet animation, and 3D CGI. Character and creature design, environment concept art and motion graphics support its development work across different narrative formats.

Hybrid production is another part of its practice, combining live-action footage with animated characters, creatures and environments. Its production partnership with Praxis Resources extends this approach into physical fabrication, allowing practical elements to be developed alongside digital imagery.

The studio's reported projects include The Author's Daughter, a live-action and animation hybrid capstone film written and directed by Krystina Owens, and Worlds Collide, an original animated feature reported as being in development. Its portfolio also includes animated shorts and a studio signature sequence, reflecting work across both individual animation pieces and longer-form narrative development.
