C4S-Cardano4Seniors-Animation

[GENERAL] Summarize your solution to the problem.

In Fund 8 C4S was funded to develop an educational language-ELI65 & start SM marketing. Phase2 was to create animated characters for global translation and distribution of this educational platform.

[GENERAL] Summarize your relevant experience.

Tommy Frey, a Senior has been a Risk Manager, Tax & Investment advisor to Seniors for over 20 year & hosted a call in Radio show. Gustavo Quigley, has been an International Artist for over 40 years with experience in many different styles and mediums including animation.

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

The successful F8 proposal was for researching how seniors learn, and developing a language to help seniors acclimate to Defi. The language name was borrowed from an existing one but upgraded to ELI65 to acknowledge how Seniors learn differently. The project included the promotion of this educational platform via various SM(Social Media) most notably YOUTUBE channel shows. The goal was to begin to build a virtual Community Hub for Seniors to educate and attract this demographic to Cardano both for their liquidity but also their brain assets into the Catalyst Community. We are on track with our milestones.

The second part and the purpose of this proposal is for the solution of animating our educational messages and having the conversations of the animated characters translated to many languages.The educational conversations will be with four animated characters of representing different demographics within a Senior population.

The purpose of the limitation of four characters represents how many seniors learned and were entertained on TV as we grew. There are/were four main personality types which were reflected in many shows such as All In the Family, GoldenGirls, Sanford & Son, Seinfeld and I Love Lucy. As comedy evolved into younger learning they evolved into six and eight personality types to attract the sub personalities. This style is for the demographic just behind the current Senior demographic.

So this proposal will create four animated characters, with four different personalities and write scripts to hold educational shows on SM. These animations will be fairly easy to translate without lip sync issues.

This global outreach is all towards building a global community hub for Seniors.

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

The proposal directly addresses the first of the Strategic Goals of Fund 9 of " Prepare a group of people willing and able to make contributions to the ecosystem".

The proposal also addresses the Challenge in this category such as “ Build real world solutions based on the Cardano blockchain”.

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

The major risk is with the animation. While we do have an artist on staff, his skills may not be sufficient for the professional finished product we currently envision. We have had a conversation with CLAYNATION as a mitigation strategy. Their clay figures may fit the genre as Seniors did grow up with a Gumby clay figure and were part of SNLs Mister Bill clay figure. We also were on the cutting edge of SouthPark and the Simpsons.

Effective translation is another risk. We plan on using Google translate if we can not find human translators.

Budget shortfall for the actual animation is a Risk. Like any film budget there may be overruns. Mitigation is cutting the planned number of segments down to who we are funded for.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide details of the people who will work on the project.

Gustavo Odebur Quigley is an international artist and team member who will head up the art and animation segment of this project. He is a Senior and has over 40 years in the art world.

TKolomi is the researcher behind the ELI65 research and language. Almost a Senior she will be working on the scripts and animation segments.

Tom Frey is the team leader and get it done person. He will be the project coordinator. He is a Pa, Proposer, Voter, has been a CT and is active in the Catalyst and Cardano community

The other team members will all have support roles in script ideas and writing of the segments.

[FEASIBILITY] If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

The plan is to become a self-sustaining Community organization thru a ISPO proposal. If we do not and our budget falls short as mentioned in mitigation efforts, it may be necessary to return.

[FEASIBILITY] Are you or any member of your team working on any other proposals in this Fund9?

[FEASIBILITY] Are you or your team working on any other proposals from previous Funds?

[AUDITABILITY] Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?

The team will use an Agile system to track and measure our process. We will utilize the Miro board and we use Slack for team communication and goals.

The project will be transparent on its projects via Telegram, Discord and a weekly update newsletter which will be published.

We will track the timeline per the proposal and report to the community.

The animation will be the most difficult to measure due to the creative nature, art involved and vocal dubbing. We will be transparent via our Agile reporting. We will follow a timeline for producing each segment which will be tracked and posted in SM for full accountability.

[AUDITABILITY] What does success for this project look like?

Sucess is a series of 8+ PSA type videos on YouTube translated to different languages about Senior education using ELI65 with an Emphasis on Risk Management.

Sucess is an increase in wallets in Cardano, (though it will not be likely to measure by age) during the time the YouTubes are playing.

[AUDITABILITY] Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.
