Shibuya to Put a Creative Spin on Storytelling & TV Show Developments
February 1st, 2023 – Steve Aoki (@SteveAoki) and Seth Green’s Stoopid Buddy Stoodios join forces with Shibuya (@Shibuyaxyz) to usher ReplicantX into a new era of interactive storytelling. Never settling to simply release content, Aoki is careful to foster a community and breed advancement around each new project. In this next chapter, Aoki pioneers a new stop-motion production model in partnership with Replicant X PFP holders, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, and Shibuya.
Continuing the moment of the Dominion X stop-motion short film that launched in August 2021 and sold out in under seven seconds, the duo is teaming up with Shibuya (@shibuyaxyz), the Web3 creator platform dedicated to reimaging how long-form content is created and consumed. Combining elements of choose your own adventure with “Mad Libs” style improv, fans will directly influence the next chapter in the Dominion X storyline.
To participate, ReplicantX NFT holders can stake their NFTs at Shibuya.xyz to vote on the direction of Dominion X: Level 2, the first stop-motion film co-directed by a community of NFT holders. Over the course of 6 weeks, the Stoopid Buddy team will produce the short film while allowing the Replicant X community to vote on the end of a new scene each week, all in real-time.
Seth Green, creator of Robot Chicken and co-founder of Stoopid Buddy added, “As creators it’s thrilling to have these new tools to bring fans right into our writers room so they can participate in the creative process with us. The approach with Replicant X is designed to maximize fan input into the story, and more importantly, create comedic sequences that we would never have dreamed up on our own.” – Seth Green
“We’re excited to see the first stop motion film co-directed by a community of NFT holders come to life, ” said Emily Yang, CEO of Shibuya. Our platform provides tools to close the gap between creators and communities and ReplicantX is an exciting example of interactive content enabled by web3 technology.”
As a reward for participating, at the end of the 6 weeks, voters will receive a memorial NFT of varying rarity depending on the level of participation. By offering a chance to help write an animated series before it goes into production, this collaboration brings some of the most exciting aspects of Web3 to a narrative. Maintaining the incredible visuals from Stoopid Buddy Stoodios and infectious music from Aoki, this is an exercise in community co-creation, uniquely enabled by Web3 technology.
“Since debuting in my very first NFT collection, Character X has truly become my web3 ambassador. From his own blockchain short film to surprise appearances in other NFTcollections, his journey in web3 has mirrored my own. I am excited to be working with Stoopid Buddy Stoodios and Seth Green as we guide Character X through this next evolution into Replicant X, bringing the community along for the ride.” – Steve Aoki
While a ReplicantX NFT is required to participate in voting, the content will be free to view on Shibuya’s platform. It’s not too late to join in the fun!
