Bonsai Motion Lab
AI Video.
In Motion.
AI video is moving from novelty to infrastructure. Motion Lab is where I test the newest tools, build real workflows, and show exactly how we're putting them to work inside businesses.
Digital Twins. Video Agents. Hyperframes. Automation. Localization. Content engines. And whatever comes next.

AI video just crossed the line from cool experiment to something you can actually build a business around. I'm Bryan Fikes, founder of Bonsai Marketing, and I'm a 2026 HeyGen Ambassador. But I'm not interested in teaching another class about AI. I want to build with it. Digital Twins. Video Agent. Hyperframes. Translation. Automation. Personalized video. Entire content engines. And more importantly, I want to figure out where this stuff actually makes businesses better. That's why I created Bonsai Motion Lab. Motion Lab is where we experiment with these tools live, build actual things, connect them into real workflows, and show you exactly what works, and probably occasionally what doesn't. So if you're a creator, marketer, agency owner, entrepreneur, or you're just trying to figure out what the hell you're supposed to do with all this AI... Welcome to Motion Lab. This is going to be fun.

Coming to a
room near you.
Bryan is a 2026 HeyGen Ambassador — which means Motion Lab Live gets HeyGen's tools, resources, and roadmap in the room, not just a slide about them. Hands on keyboards, real builds, no course pitch.

Where it starts
Sonoma County · first Napa Marin San Francisco / Bay Area Sacramento Los Angeles San Diego Portland Seattle
First session lands in Sonoma County. No date yet — the list hears it first, and where we go after that depends on where you tell us you are.
[ Save me a seat ]
No ticket, no date to hold yet — just tell us where you are and you'll get the invite before it goes public.
[ What this is ]
This Isn't Training.
It's a Lab.
Motion Lab is a live testing ground for AI video and creative technology. We take new capabilities, put them into actual workflows, and figure out what businesses can really do with them.
No curriculum. No certificate. We build the thing, then show you what happened — including the parts that didn't work.
01
Experiment
Test new tools and ideas.
02
Build
Create something real.
03
Connect
Integrate it into larger AI and marketing workflows.
04
Deploy
Put it into production.
[ The AI video stack ]
What's actually
running.
One of these is a partnership. The rest are just tools on the bench, paid for like anyone else pays for them. The difference is marked, because it should be.
★ 2026 HeyGen Ambassador
The only partnership on this page. Bryan is a compensated 2026 Ambassador, which is why HeyGen is first on the bench — and why the link below pays him. The capabilities below are what it actually does.

[ What we're building ]
From AI Video to
Business Infrastructure.
The interesting question was never "can AI make a video." It's what a business does with video once producing it stops being the constraint.

AI Content Engines
One idea, compounded into a publishing cadence a team can't match by hand.
