TIME Studios has released a new animated series, ‘On This Day… 1776’, which tells pivotal moments from America’s founding year through a unique combination of traditional filmmaking tools and emerging AI capabilities. The short-form series brings the Revolutionary War to life by recreating scenes and moments from 1776 on their 250th anniversaries.
The first two episodes, ‘January 1: The Flag’ and ‘January 10: Common Sense’, set the stage for a year-long journey through 1776, dramatizing key events such as Thomas Paine’s arrival in England and the publication of his influential pamphlet. The series is executive produced by Darren Aronofsky and features an original score, voiced SAG actors, and animated using generative AI tools.
The partnership between Primordial Soup, a new AI Studio founded by Aronofsky, and TIME Studios aims to deliver ambitious storytelling at a global scale. With the support of Salesforce and Google DeepMind, the series is made possible through real-time collaboration on Slack.
