Why Does Our Series Matter?
Making a lasting impact.
Studio Kane is paving the way for meaningful change to the industry.
THE
STUDIO KANE PROMISE
Despite being a new player in the field of TV entertainment,
Studio Kane is dedicated to reminding the industry that meaningful stories take time to unfold; and that viewers desire engaging, purposeful narratives built on thought-provoking themes and life lessons.
Our mission is simple: To tell a thrilling animated drama that embraces the rawness of real-life struggles without insulting the audience's intelligence.
What Can Fans Expect?
In an industry where risk mitigation has too often meant minimal effort for maximum profit—prioritizing volume over intention, or refusing to invest in stories that require the patience of multiple seasons—Studio Kane believes that great television is worth the extra time, money, and care.
As industry pressures often push studios to dilute, scrap, or justify creative compromises, we remain committed to telling our story the way it was meant to be told, without cutting corners, sacrificing our values, or tarnishing the vision behind it.
OUTLIER is our first step toward proving that projects built on this mindset can succeed. But goals like this only become reality when audiences support the same standard. So…
Together, let's encourage thoughtful storytelling.
Together, let's encourage quality in the industry.
A PERSONAL TOUCH

Studio Kane pays respect in royalties... even after the mic goes quiet.
CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO
The voices behind a production are often overlooked. At Studio Kane, they aren’t.
We believe talent shouldn’t have to fight for fairness.
No corporate greed.
No hiding behind "indie" excuses.
Just fair, lasting compensation.
At Studio Kane, we believe voice actors deserve fair and viable pay. That’s why we offer our main cast revenue-sharing opportunities involving the characters they voice, alongside a generous base-rate compensation—regardless of our technical "indie" status.
Unlike other studios that rely solely on flat-rate pay, we strive to build long-term partnerships with our lead talent, sharing in the success of our project as it grows.
What does this mean?
We have contractually made ourselves responsible for ensuring that a portion of the profits from qualifying merchandise sales and viewership revenue is given directly to the voices behind Lucian, Oleyssa, JD, Aariz, Kane, Caius, Kaplan, and Haegris.
This is transparent proof that Studio Kane stands by its values, supporting those who have helped build this production from the start. Our voice actors aren’t just workers... they’re essential creative partners who have unknowingly shaped Studio Kane into what it is today.
Put simply, we say this to set a new industry standard—one built on action, not just words. Our hope is to inspire other studios to follow suit, allowing themselves to recognize the importance of providing financial security to the often-overlooked talent whose work brings their stories to life.
Compensation With Conviction
The price of loyalty, paid in full.
How Studio Kane stands with voice actors by redefining industry standards for independent animation.
We Don’t Just Promise. We Prove.
투명성
At Studio Kane, we don’t believe compensation should be mysterious, withheld, or riddled with industry loopholes.
That’s why we’ve built a voice actor pay structure that is secure, transparent, and significantly above standard industry rates
—without exception.
Whether you’re union or non-union, lead or supporting, we believe in compensating talent fairly and visibly.
Not just in words, but in escrow-backed actions.
Because Studio Kane sees value in voluntarily building security and trust from day one.
Our Model at a Glance
-
Industry-exceeding rates for all contracted voice actors
-
Escrow-held funds released upon approved deliverables
-
Streaming residuals tied to viewership success
-
Merchandise royalties for key character likenesses
-
Equal treatment for union and non-union performers across the globe
Escrow-Backed Pay
Before recording begins for the season, all contracted actor payments are deposited into a secure, third-party escrow account
with proof visible to the actor. These funds are released after final deliverables for episodes are approved.
This means no chasing checks or relying on empty promises. Just peace of mind.
Above Standard. By Design.
윤리
Our pay model isn’t just generous... it’s structured to absorb what traditional union contracts would require separately:
-
Pension & health contributions
-
Insurance protections
-
Session guarantees
-
Royalty structures
As an international production free from conflicting union jurisdictions, Studio Kane has the freedom to honor ethical practices our own way.
By integrating these protections directly into our base compensation, we’ve created a system that provides financial stability from day one.
Our philosophy is simple
If you do the work, you deserve protection and pay.
Sustainability with Soul.
신뢰
This isn’t a stunt,
It’s a system.
By embedding these values into our production budget, Studio Kane ensures that fair pay is not a stretch goal—it’s a core standard.
Because telling heart-felt stories starts with building a healthy work environment behind the scenes.
Being independent does not mean we are anti-union or anti-industry.
But it does mean that Studio Kane is…
Anti-abuse.
Anti-elitism.
Anti-hypocrisy.
For us, this isn’t just business.
It’s personal.
“Ethics are the contract. Love is the signature.”
