AIP-279: Bored Apes Storm Hollywood
HIGLIGHTS:
Author: AmericanApe
Abstract:
This proposal aims to expand the ApeCoin DAO ecosystem through the creation of an animated series pilot and three spin-off comic books, featuring characters owned by ApeCoin DAO holders. We envision a gritty, action-packed, and comedic, anime-inspired adaptation of the American Ape comic book series that prominently features ApeCoin as the primary currency of the Metaverse, reaching beyond the echo chamber of “Crypto Twitter” that is primed to be pitched directly to international streamers via our producing team’s existing development, production and distribution pipelines.
Timeline:
The goal is to produce a 20 to 22-minute animated pilot episode over the course of 16-19 months or less, capable of competing with the best animated content in the world, because we’re working with seasoned, accredited talent that has worked on some of the best animated content in the world. The sooner we can finish the better, but we will not sacrifice quality and are using our short proof-of-concept as a bar for quality.
After successful production and the right showrunner attachment, the goal is to leverage the pilot’s production quality and accredited team of Producers and Animators to secure distribution for a full eight to ten episode animated season on a major streaming platform. Should the need arise for more funds to complete the pilot, Myth Division will cover the cost to complete up to $75,000 of additional post production work.
Overall Cost:
The team is requesting $300,000 USD in $APE to produce the animated series pilot and three (3) spin-off comics, expanding the ApeCoin DAO ecosystem’s lore and raising awareness of the ApeCoin ecosystem through an ongoing mainstream animated television show and secure an international distribution deal for the comic books.
