Fantasy Fixtures Studio

Short films of fantasy craftsfolk, made every day

This is the studio behind three YouTube channels. Dwarves, elves, halflings and other folk of the old races mend and make things by hand — a honey pudding steamed in a burrow, a grindstone cut by wand, a gallery driven through a mountain by rune and maul — and every episode is written, drawn, filmed and cut by AI, then published on a daily schedule.

How an episode is made

  1. 1

    A catalogue of a world

    Fixers — craftsfolk of the fantasy races, each with a fixed face, outfit, hands and voice — and the tools, workshops and objects they work on. Every object has a real fault and a real fix; every tool has a designed use, from a halfling’s steaming pot to a dwarf’s rune-chisel.

  2. 2

    A script for every episode

    A language model writes each short shot by shot from one fixer, one object and one method: where the camera stands, what the hands do, what changes, what is said. Checks catch a tool used wrongly, a step skipped or a scene that cannot be filmed before anything is drawn.

  3. 3

    Pictures that stay the same

    Reference sheets turn each fixer and each tool into a fixed set of views, so the same dwarf with the same braids and the same scarred hands appears in every shot of every episode.

  4. 4

    Clips, sound and the cut

    Each shot is rendered as a video clip, then voiced, captioned, given the room’s own sound and assembled into a finished vertical short.

  5. 5

    Published daily

    A scheduled run takes the head of the queue each day, renders it and uploads it to its channel. The studio is where the team composes, reviews and corrects the queue.
