Serials
Longer stories, told in parts
Where Ink & Author began: novels and dramas too big for one sitting.
The Perfect Revenge
Ava finds the photos at 2 a.m. Her husband begs for a divorce, and she says no.
My Father Was the Villain in My Love Story
Livy’s first love was destroyed not by betrayal or distance, but by her own father.
Unspoken Goodbyes
A quiet office and a new arrival. Paige and Peter’s story has no villain, only two hearts drifting apart.
Across the Screens
Lina and Alex, across continents and years: love, loss, betrayal and a second chance. The story the channel began with.
About
Written from the heart, animated to life.
I’m the writer behind Ink & Author. I started the channel in 2025 to share my novels, first as narrated chapters and now as films.
Every tale here is mine, and so is every decision about how it looks, sounds and moves. AI tools generate the picture, the voices and the music. The hours go into everything around them: what a scene needs, how a face should look, which take is the right one. The tools are how I make films. The story is why I make them.
The story
It starts on the page: characters, plot and dialogue, written from scratch.
The look
Characters and places are designed first, so they stay the same from the first shot to the last.
The film
Each shot is directed and generated, often many times over, then edited into the final cut.
The song
Most films get a companion song: the same story, told again in music.
Commissions
Your story could be next.
Commissions are open. Bring the idea, and it comes back as a finished animated film.
A personal story
How you met, a family memory, a tribute. Told as an animated short for the people it belongs to.
A book, script or idea
A trailer for your novel, a single chapter on film, or an idea developed into a full short.
A song
An animated music video with a story built around your track.
