Solving how artists get paid with /filmatree:
Filmmaking is the perfect avenue where a ton of artists (like writers, visual artists, actors and musicians) all concentrate around making a film, anime, movie or tv show.
Alone on a social network, you're posting for interactions to boost you higher in the feed. If you're getting interaction from outside of your network, you'll be boosted even higher. The ultimate boosting comes from constant new interactions or big jumps in interactions.
So if you go from creating visual art on your own to creating with writers, voice actors and musicians, you're getting a natural exposure to their networks as you socialize and post about the anime/film/movie/show you're helping to create.
This is just a 1 to 1 port of filmmaking to a social timeline though, with tokens it becomes bigger.
When traders, collectors and speculators are all introduced, the natural attention that swells when dropping teasers and previews naturally leads to surges in the trading of any associated tokens, i.e. artist / creator coins.
/filmatree enters here: take all of the above and pair it with a playable game for the people that'd rather be active fans/audience. Give them a new experience, power in some creative decisions and chances to win memorabilia. Natural they'll comment and share with their social networks, especially if something magical happens, helping further expand outside network reach.
one last twist: @filmatree is a new filmmaking process ~ 3 acts, entirely onchain, instead of 5 stages mostly off-line. Each act offers opportunity to highlight/swell attention to artists, while major milestones during and between acts gets them paid. Take, for example, planned 1 of 1 auctions for each artist attached to a filmatree:
- of course an artist gets paid for their 1 of 1 art. Hopefully the attention & bidding process drives collection of other artworks too
- plus traders and speculators will trade artist/creator tokens ahead of the announcement and subsequent auction of any given artists, in attempt to front-run the attention.
There are more mechanism to pay artist as well from both the film/anime/show and the play of the game like the trading fees that can come from both, collectibles and auctions of the milestones of the joint-creative-process.
That said @uhcaribe's Zora coin might be worth a pick up asking these kinds of questions https://zora.co/@uhcaribe
