Thirty years behind the camera.
For three decades, Brian T. Jaynes has made things people watch. He's shot cosmetics campaigns for L'Oréal, sent Mustangs tearing across open fields for Ford Motor Company, and made music videos for KMFDM, Foo Fighters, Submersed, and artists across the Wind-up Records roster, with film and television work for NBCUniversal, SYFY, and Chiller TV along the way.
He's a hands-on producer who runs sets the way investors wish every set were run. He leads full-scale crews, makes budgets go further than they should, and has shot two films at once with a single crew. Over the years he has also become one of the most practiced hands at bringing Texas film incentives home.
His work doesn't stop when the cameras do. Brian owned and ran Cinema West, a Los Angeles–area post-production house, and remains an expert editor and colorist in Avid and DaVinci Resolve. He knows every step from first cut to final delivery.
His storytelling reaches the page too. With his late wife, author Jennifer Jaynes, he released seven novels through Thomas & Mercer, Amazon's publishing imprint. Four reached the worldwide top 10, and two hit No. 1.
He is also a director, photographer, cinematographer, screenwriter, and Americana songwriter. Educated at the University of Texas at Arlington and the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine, and a certified AI prompt engineer, Brian grew up among Christian missionary organizations. Today he pairs a lifetime of traditional production with AI-driven animation and VFX, building the next generation of faith and values storytelling from East Texas.
He built INKX because the pictures he wanted to make had outgrown the budgets available to make them, and the tools to close that gap didn't exist yet.
He lives in Texas with his twin teenage sons.
A full production pipeline,
one artist at the controls.
INKX is a studio-grade AI filmmaking suite: five instruments that carry a project from first frame to finished shot, built by a working filmmaker and proven on real productions. Every tool runs as a single file on an ordinary machine — no render farm, no crew of forty.
FRAMES
A node-based keyframe generator. Lock a character's face, wardrobe, pose and light once, then build every shot on that identity — with relight, weather, face-conform and upscale passes chained non-destructively. The same person shows up in shot 80 as in shot 1.
I2V Cinema
Turns keyframes into cinematic motion. Choose a DP and the tool writes the camera the way that operator would shoot it; direct the performance separately. Runs the leading video models side by side and knows what each one can and can't do.
Storyboards
Script to boards with blocking, shot sizes and angles surveyed from a single composition — so the coverage plan is a set of real images, not stick figures, before a frame is shot.
VFX
Video-to-video restyling anchored to one approved look, plus skin, relighting and clean-up passes — the finishing work that used to need a vendor, done in the same chair as the edit.
Intelligent Budgeting
Reads the breakdown and prices the picture — what the pipeline replaces, what stays practical, and what the difference is worth. A budget that understands the tools it's budgeting for.
