[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

Being a creator in the film and advertising industry for 20 years,i have a deep understanding of the problem from multiple angles.

The reasons for approaching it this way is out of real life experience in negotiating with film and advertising clients.The importance of attribution and consensus building within creatives holds the key.Using electronic music,mini games and interactive fiction demonstrating RWAs and NFTs can add tremendous value.Make it look good,sound good and most importantly make it fun.A product can start as a sandbox for creative projects/remixable dAPPs

Bridging the past and the future holds value to solve the defined problem.Building with experienced electronic artists can lead to some new innovations in the NFT world.From hyper cards to NFTs,its come a full circle and there is a great scope for value innovation.
