Rather than waffle about things you can hear in the video, I'll just give you the brief. The first character to be (re)created is Atlas, from the final issue of Daring Comics.

The kickstarter for this one has already exceeded its goal.

The second character is Blue Bolt, third is Spider Queen from The Eagle #2  then it's Catman, and then Landor, Maker of Monsters from Speed Comics #1, last is one called Six Gun Gorilla, which I can't find.

Personally I will wait to see how he gets on with the first film, as I'm not sure 50,000 USD is enough to make a quality animated movie and his comical (no pun) approach leaves me unsure if he really respects the heroes and will do good things with them. Still, at least there's attention on GA comics and people are interested in new (old) ideas.

As I don't quite understand kickstarter, I wont get involved. But interest in GA comics - and British story papers - is always a good thing.  The ideas seem a bit trite though and the quality of an animation might well disappoint.  Wouldn't a comic featuring new stories, set in the period, be a better idea?  Look at the good work coming from Standard and inDELLible.  Actually, there are a number of masked heroes and villains in the old story papers that could be adapted to comicbook adventures. 
As for Atlas, nowadays that is how One Punch Man got to be so powerful - and bald
Wasn't Mr Muscles in the same camp?

Ha! Ha! Ha!  "Six Gun Gorilla" seems to be the most bizarre and funny story of all the superhero and related choices McConnell made for his films!  I, too, would much rather see a new, Golden Age-styled comic book version with new stories using that character, than a modern 3-D animated film using him.  If I were to see a film using him, I'd prefer a live action black and white, 1930/1940s style film, using only Harryhausen-style puppet stop-motion animation special effects. A sort of "Revenge of King Kong/Mighty Joe Young"-type film.
