Description

Application by: @remsee
## What is your project, and what problem does it solve?
Starforge is a licensed actor license generative film app. Actors can license their likeness and earn a royalty from the platform. Creators can choose from a list of actors and make a movie in the likeness of their choice of actors and actresses

## Link to public GitHub repo (if applicable)

## Link to demo website (if applicable)

## Please describe in more detail why this proposal is valuable for the Livepeer ecosystem
Consumer application that has viral potential

## Please describe in details what your final deliverable for this project will be.
Mobile application that makes short films that do not use actors likenesses, as that is illegal. Also in the current iteration, the videos are wide but we want the videos to be tall, so it's basically like a generative Tik Tok

## How will this deliverable benefit the Livepeer ecosystem?
Consumer application that has viral potential

## Please break up your development work into a clear set of milestones

"Generative TikTok"

Fullstack mobile application that displays short form, vertical videos. Users can swipe up when they are done with a video, and a new video is loaded and displayed. The time spent viewing the video, among other engagement metrics will be used to determine what the user likes to see. Generations are done on the backend based on user preferences.

An app that can be downloaded and used on the Apple/Google play stores

## Who is your target user group? How do you plan on getting your users to use this?

Research direction

The issue links the Starforge repository and demo; start by reviewing the repository's current application entry points and video-generation flow. Done would mean a distributable Apple/Google mobile app with vertical short-form videos and the described likeness-safety changes, but the issue names no files or tests.
