We thought this Proposal was far from stupid, buddy. The team is a veritable league of legends, and we are looking forward to dancing with you all at the Rose Parade to celebrate (suggested dances to learn in preparation: The Robot, The Chicken Dance.) In all seriousness, this is a great opportunity for the proliferation of Nouns, and we appreciated how detailed and structured the Proposal was, with Phases that are tied to percentages of the ask. Would recommend future proposers structure similarly, for bigger asks especially, to help voters better understand the process and breakdown of costs.
We propose producing a comedic documentary film about the groundbreaking nature of the Nouns DAO and the web3 community and our weird journey of getting the Nouns featured in the Rose Parade. The Noun community has shown itself to be forward thinking, enterprising, generous, warm, funny and bold. Everything from donating to Ukraine, making eye glasses for the underprivileged, to being featured in a Super Bowl ad. This is a story worth telling!
This project will be unique for three reasons:
Tone
We're inspired by docs like "Exit Through the Gift Shop" which was light, playful, and blurred the line between real and imagined. We want to tell this story in an imaginative way, often with tongue firmly in cheek.
Why?
We are inspired by this community and think the world needs to know how amazing and revolutionary this DAO is. We also think this is a great way to get this organization and brand out to a much wider audience. The Rose Parade will create tens of millions of impressions but the documentary will give this story life and legs and tee up the Nouns to further their reach into mainstream pop culture.
Who are we?
We are Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. Most of you might know us from our flagship series, Robot Chicken, but we're also the studio behind Marvel's MODOK, Crossing Swords on Hulu, and all the costumes on FOX's Masked Singer. And the studio that built a 15 foot walk around for League of Legends. We've been nominated for over 22 Emmys and won six of them. We've also won Cleo Awards for our advertising work and have worked with brands from DC, Marvel, Walking Dead, Star Wars, LEGO, Target, and Denny's among many others. All that is to say we know how to translate the spirit of a brand into entertainment. We're also the studio that last year built a life-size walk around goat Noun that made an appearance at NFT.NYC. While our ambition for the next round of life size Nouns is even greater, this experience was amazing, and a source of inspiration for what's to come.
But we don't want to do this alone. We want to bring the entire Nouns community together to help tell this story. We've been amazed by the early positive support of this proposal and are excited to engage with you all. Nouners will have the opportunity to participate by voting on where these life size "Nouns in the Wild" go on their journey, and even participate by walking along with other Nouns in the actual Rose Parade. The documentary will feature interviews with Nounders and Nouners alike, and highlight projects that have been successfully funded and what type of impact they've made. This will be a movie making experience that engages the entire community.
ROSE PARADE
DOCUMENTARY
PHASE 1: (May-July)
PHASE 2 (July-September 2022)
PHASE 3 (August-September)
PHASE 4 (September 2022-January 2023)
PHASE 5 (January-Feb 2023)
PHASE 6 (Q2/3 2023)
* Milestones to be funded at commencement of each phase. Note that these are guidelines only and that a final determination will be made in collaboration with the stoopid-buddy-escrow multisig.
MULTISIG
The proposed budget + 15% to cover volatility will be released in ETH to a 2 of 3 multisig with signers 4156, gremplin, and 9999. The ETH will be immediately converted to USDC, and everything in excess of the original budget, minus 1 ETH to cover gas for the life of the multisig, will be returned to the DAO. If, due to high volatility, insufficient ETH is available to cover the proposed budget, a second proposal will top up the multisig at a later date.
TOTAL
23k + 400k + 330k + 450k = 1,203,000
1,203,000 * 1.15 / 2269 = 609.71 ETH
