Trust Fund Time Machine was an experiment @fringe_film to make a 10-minute pilot episode.
We came up with a script, styled the characters, thought about character relationships, designed settings, and fed all of this into Fringe to help us make this show.
We experimented with different workflows within ai animation and editing to get as close as we could to good continuity, voice design, and character consistency.
Here's a peek into what our characters and storyboard looked like:
Trust Fund Time Machine - Pilot Episode
Useless billionaire heir Hunter Vil and his time-traveling buddy, Genghis Khan, bungle their way through time, rewriting history to make Hunter’s evil father and his corporate empire even richer.
When we first started creating shorts with @fringe_film, a lot of them were inspired by fanfics and web novels.
This lead us to making rom coms on IG with over 15 million views. Audiences ARE willing to connect with ai animated characters and stories. We saw fandoms being built in real time.
The Hinge Chronicles is bringing that back with a more modern twist.

Somewhere out there, a storyteller is giving up.
Not for lack of a story. For lack of permission.
Telling a story shouldn’t require anyone’s permission.
On @fringe_film, the only permission you need is your own.
It’s really unfortunate to see the pushback Swoozie is getting on this.
He’s laid out his constraints clearly: AI animation lets him keep delivering for his audience, and the money he makes goes toward funding larger animation budgets.
- Animation costs too much
- Most of the animators he hit up are gone or dead
- Use the money from his AI videos to hire real animators next time
What a perfect way to ruin your reputation
