TL;DR On the second episode of the "Behind the noggles" series, discover the fascinating journey of Carella on a mission to connect onchain builders and grants.
From minting the first ever NFT on the Tezos blockchain to gifting Vitalik the first pair of noggles. Bigshot's Golden Noggles.
Version 2 After reviewing the feedback we would like to address some of the issues.
- First up, is the budget. Roughly a 25% discount.
- Also, I have changed my compensation for 4/5 months of work from 20K to 10K + Treasury Noun 575.
- For the ones interested in film festivals (contrary to the initial feedback on Ben's proposal) we can add 6K USD to the budget in order to have an original soundtrack and submit the doco to 60 film festivals next year.
- Non-Fungible Aotearoa was selected by 7 festivals in total, including a few awards.
- And lastly, to be clear, as much as I absolutely love podcasts, especially the ZEROPOD, these are different products. We have a local film crew with professional 4K cameras and drones to get the best quality footage possible.
- We are not going to Honduras in order to save on budget, but a great lesson from Ben's documentary is that it's too difficult to finish a film with no Broll (The images of Ben other than the interview), hence the local film crew.
- If it were not for Ben's wife, we would not have been able to finish the film, so a cinematographer is a small investment that will 100x the quality and 10X the speed of finishing the doco.
- I made a mistake accepting to make Ben's film with no cinematographer on the budget and it cost me a lot of time and money to be able to finish it.
- Documentaries and films are about tinkering with our emotions. You can not do that by having a single scene of a person talking.
- And graphics can only go so far.
- I hope these updates make sense and help the voter understand what we are trying to do.
- And imagine if we make 2 of these per year. In 3 years, if Nouns is a major global brand, we have a series we can pitch to a streaming service and potentially return the investment back to the Treasury (s/o to Dom for the suggestion š).
Short documentary film (20 minutes) | Budget: $23,000 USDC + Treasury Noun 575
Chris Carella hyperpunk. artist. purple. energy. nouns. op citizens house. charmverse.
-
Early to Nouns, when he was delegated a Noun, Chris voted on 100% of the props for an entire year. Later, he was awarded Noun 839 due to unanimous FOR votes on proposal 499.
-
Early to Farcaster, he noticed the builder energy in the space and started Purple, the first nounish DAO launched on Zora's Nouns Builder infrastructure with the goal of proliferating and expanding the Farcaster protocol and ecosystem.
-
He is also a prolific artist, from his early days working with acrylic on canvas in his Queen's studio to delivering beautiful NFTs to his subscribers on Hypersub.
-
He got involved in many DAOs, and became a part of the Optimism Citizens House, FWB, Nouns, Purple, Nouns, Hats Protocol Proto DAO, The Park, Energy, Builder DAO and many others.
-
Chris is always trying to connect builders with grants, be it in Nouns, Purple and more recently with the Scout Game.
š½ļø THE PLAN The Nouns DAO community is about the passionate individuals behind it. Hence "Behind the Noggles" series (s/o to Brett for the suggestion š).
With this documentary series, we aim to spotlight these inspiring onchain journeys. Episode 2, Carella.
As with Benbodhi's documentary, our goal is to bring awareness to Nouns and inspire people to join us.
Benbodhi: Decoded (Propdate/results)
I have been onboarding new people every week by attending meetups here in Perth, Australia, messaging everyone in the crypto industry and sending people the doco for them to watch.
Some examples: Karoline - Had never heard of Nouns. Loved the doco and immediately adopted Noggles on Twitter:
She recently went to Sydney to attend the Blockies Awards and the AUS Crypto conference:
And she has put together an event to screen both Benās and Vitalikās documentaries:

Here are some images:
Bruno is an old friend and is heavily involved with the Hive community. He loved the doco, went to NounsTown in LA and came back like this:
The Honorary Consul from Brazil in Perth has also reached out and he is interested in hosting a meeting with the Brazilian community to learn more about Nouns.
The Ethereum Film team has also shown interest in Benās documentary.
Here are some numbers. Mints:
YT views (every day new people are watching it):
And we are also posting daily shorts/reels on all social media channels:
š THE SCHEDULE We will deliver the final cut within 4 to 5 months of being funded. Around May 2025 with filming scheduled for January 2025.
š° THE ASK - $23,000 USDC + Treasury Noun 575
