Voting for because its a good prop but would have felt more comfortable if there was a distribution plan. Every content creation prop should include a distribution plan. This should be standard we enforce.

Vote Reasons & Discussion
byhardy | "low cost, love the trial format, cool creator, easy yes. interesting to see if this inspires future first asks."
CHEFFO ⌐◧-◧ | "I really like the art and the style of story telling. The short pilot was endearing and very nounish. I can't speak to the cost completely, but we are starting to see other animated, multi-minute videos for under 10 eth...or under 5. We have seen animation for much more. It seems like we are in the range here, although the range is large. I am not experienced enough in animation pricing to say more here. As far as on chain, I think that it is an experiment. But ultimately there should be ways to fund new builders in this range without on-chain voting, especially as the DAO grows. It's not the builders fault, or anyones, it is just an opportunity to continue to define the funding mechanisms or create new ones. CHEFFO = YES"
Mach | "Great cost for what would get out of this"
Benbodhi | "Reasonable ask for what could be a great thing!"
Josep | "I think that the attention we will receive for the animation is not worth the 20ETH that is being asked for."
RyanMac ⌐◨-◨ | "we already have people working on 3D nouns & the metaverse"
Akva | "I love this"
JoelCares | "Amazing animation, reasonable costs. Hell ya. Looking forward to seeing the finished product."
kerimbonia | "given the production quality, proven outreach and plans to release cc0 assets, this is an absolute no-brainer yes!"
bradq | "100%. Teaser is fantastic. I like the cv of the team--esp. Pixar chops. If they get the script right, 20 ETH is a steal and might give us one of our best videos. Also on Nouncil call they said all assets cc0! Available to build off of."
byhardy | "Low cost. Cool creator. The trailed on Twitter is really cool. I'm in."
.ZllW ⌐◨-◨ | "Low cost, great intro vid, creator 3D print guy have nice track record (formerly with Pixar, Netflix & HBO)"
0xapril | "Easy yes. The intro video is amazing!"
0xDariush | "good team, good content, i just think the price could be less, if they go viral , its worthy"
Mindtoasted | "it's cool to have them taking part in this, already know some of the artists from twitter and they have different uniqueness from each artists, I voted yes for this."
For more Nouns DAO proposal discussion head to the Nouncil Discord: https://discord.gg/nouncil
no mention of converting funds to USDC upon transfer, just something for team to consider
Resounding Yes.
Incredible trailer, perfectly reasonable ask, nounish af
think this proposal is a good example of what can be delivered with a small amount of funding. Other proposers should take note.
Excited to see results and hopefully re-use the 3d assets developed here in future work
TL,DR We are proposing to commission Atrium & 3D Print Guy to create a cinematic 1:30-2min animated story introducing the World of Nouns. Bring the expertise of a Pixar veteran to the Nouns ecosystem enabling us to create a foundational animated short story & proliferate the meme!
Check out the proposal trailer!
Wait, what is Atrium? Atrium.art is a crypto-native network of independent artists and creators. Disciplines represented on Atrium currently include Screenwriting, Animation, Concept Art, Voice Actors, and Music production. Together, creatives on Atrium bring experience from Pixar, Marvel, Luma Pictures, Sony, Netflix and many more.

Simply put, Atrium is a way to easily piece together veteran talent to produce cinematic content.
So … What is this animated Lore? Nouns are cc0 identities coming forth one day at a time. While there have been explainer videos done via 113 and open video content proposals (explainers) via 181, We want to create an engaging cinematic introduction to the world of nouns. One that reflects the original intent behind the emergence of Nouns DAO, a story that shows who nouns are, what they have been up to, and a nod to future plans. A tale that leaves the audience curious, engaged, and wanting for more.
We believe this animation will serve as a foundation to build an expansive storyworld on top of nouns cc0 IP. Where any noun could go beyond the core nouns audience and have a viewership across different communities native to crypto and beyond.
Who is the creator behind this first story? Having a creator who understands the NFT space, the broader story, and cinematic culture is important when developing content to serve as a landing page for Nouns. We believe that 3D Print Guy is uniquely equipped in style, storytelling and understanding to provide a memorable rendition of the values and beliefs behind nouns.
With over 2 decades of experience in the business, including working on films like Up, he has been tugging on your heart strings over many years. His youtube page has content eclipsing 45 million views and his characters and plots have shown the ability to capture the world’s attention. He has also demonstrated an ability to release relevant content based on trending topics as seen with his most recent animation about ChatGPT (5k+ likes, 77k+ video views on twitter).
Quick Links about 3D Print Guy -
In 2022 alone he has produced 15 min of animation both in longer formats and short viral clips, with sound design and VFX all done in house. In 2023, we hope to have the opportunity to help proliferate the nouns as well.
Some of the Highlights of 3D Print Guy’s independent work
Imposter Origins: Among Us 30+ mil views between Part 1 and Part 2
Sixstrings: Commissioned Non-canon BAYC Story
Process at Atrium The entire process is a feedback loop. We would be creating a special channel on the Atrium discord server where Nouners are welcome to join and follow along the milestones of the process.
We would love to have at least one nounder to engage in conversation so that the story stays loosely true to the canon if any.
We will be utilising the Story’s reach in terms of reshares / likes / social engagement as metrics for success.
Ask / Cost
All inclusive production cost is proposed to be 20 ETH. (Transferred to the Atrium Multi-sig upon execution)
Things covered included
We will also be including the main characters 3d files (rigged) available for download and re-use under cc0.
Production Schedule Post the proposal execution, we will look at a final production duration of about 6-8 weeks of the above process.
We will be coordinating the comms and logistics through out the whole process alongside 3dPrintGuy. Below are the team members involved:

The Future
After the first nouns story, based on the reception of the content launch and social signals, Atrium intends to come back with a larger proposal to fund n (undecided number) number of new original nouns Stories.
This will be Atrium’s take on creating an expanding anthology series centered around nounish lore where different creators from the Atrium ecosystem come together to build new characters with their backstories, lore and more.
This will be an interactive exercise where we will do a Casting call and participating creators / artists themselves make the decision on selecting casting call winners.
