While I have potential concerns about the ROI and CPM of this project, I think those metrics are a bit too early to judge just yet. Therefore, with projects like these, I think in these early stages it's important to either have conviction and back it fully until there's a real first film/output or don't back it at all.

In this case, I believe in this team and I am voting in favor for 2 reasons: (1) I am in support of this category of projects and want to encourage more teams like this. and (2) It is a bet on this team to deliver, I want to see this team execute and deliver a final product.

My thesis as a delegate is: “Nouns has a unique role in the ecosystem as a gathering place around public goods.”

Funding art is a public good, and helping people understand Nouns increases its ability to act as a gathering place. While this is a large ask, it's necessary for high quality. I am in support.

robotfishgirl | "After seeing what's been done so far, this feels like a no brainer. Instant yes."

benbodhi | "I love the quality of work from this team! I think we'd be crazy to not continue to fund this into a full length film, or even a series."

bigshotklim | "the work and enthusiasm for the process has been great and I think that it is worth funding again and again"

AGAINST - 9 VOTES

eltonpenguin | "The first movie got just 14,000 views. This is not successful. If we got the same for v2, that'd be a CPM of nearly $27k. For reference, a good CPM is like $1.50, 4 orders of magnitude less than we paid. Strong vote against."

genuinely loved the pilot and wholeheartedly support the team continuing their ambitious journey here. also post-short shorts and this pilot I'm more convinced that film and animation is how we move hearts towards nouns. would love to fund more here.

The team did a great job with the pilot for the movie. They were very engaged with the community throughout the process and they delivered a very high quality movie.

Let's allow them to continue to create this film and add to the worldbuilding of Nouns.

the music on part 1 was so incredibly amazing, really really really loved it. btw, what's does everyone think about "POWERED BY NOUNS/⌐◨-◨ " instead of "FUNDED BY NOUNS DAO"?

VOTING ABSTAIN as the proposer

Over the last 90 days after bringing together this incredible group of artists to work on the story from all around the world, I can safely say that this very experiment is trying to upend the status quo we are used to in traditional animation productions today that results in overworked and under-recognised artists.

Atrium is setting up production workflows that are suited to operate in:

• A smaller scale budget.
• Remote first coordination workflows.
• And unparalleled transparency on the production timeline and process itself.

To address Wilson’s comment about seeing more Nouns in the story:

• We have a lot planned. The story has just started and Nouns will certainly have more than enough screen time of their own alongside Gi (who is also a Noun). Hint - Jaws Hardback isn’t just a mural. “Venture to new worlds, visit other cities!”

To address Hindsight’s comment:

• Absolutely important to understand effectiveness of the spend as it further goes down the production timeline. From a content standpoint, Our ultimate goal is to have the movie be seen by a LOT more people through more traditional distribution mechanisms. Those discussions are already underway but nature of the business, slower moving :) . Good thing is, we are literally just a pilot into the world building here and have a solid foundation to now build outwards from!

Looks nice so far but dunno if im fully convinced by the model of how this is being done...works out at circa $3m+ by the time its finished... DAO will become pot committed by sooner rather than later so the decision and demonstration of how effective this spend will be needs to be sooner rather than later too...

But worth a shot so voting yes.

Would like to see how this is gonna get picked up or gets traction before voting yes on the next one probably.

Nouns really shines in media and storytelling. EP 1 was pretty incredible. The team came through on their promise and earned the right to work on EP 2.

We're all producers now

I like movies! Let's go!!!

Voting FOR as I believe this is exciting content and an important experiment in funding and building that Nouns should absolutely lean into.

Really, really appreciate this team and the care and effort they are putting in. Love having a schedule and plan, and to now see how we're moving along it. The team has also been working in a very open way, trying to involve Nouners as much as possible.

As a tiny aside suggestion, I would like to see some more Nouns feature in the story, aside just noggles. Rookswater's novel has been inspiring imagining.

Good luck!
