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**<u> ELI65</u>** 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.
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”.
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.
