This proposal seeks to fund 20 videos, over as many weeks.

OVERALL COST
Production of the videos will require a 0.15 ETH investment per video, paid on delivery of each final cut.

With a runway of 20 videos, this will require 3 ETH from The Conclave.

Funds will be held by gnosis safe wagdieshorts.eth and be co-signed by @kingoffling and @atriox at each release.

SUMMARY

Fully support this. If videos can be kept under 60 seconds could also double post as shorts on youtube (2nd largest search).

Nice work on the thoughtful mockup! I really like the work you put into the branding.

The asking cost for this endeavor seems very highly priced at 3eth for the function of promotional marketing and community fun. In the interest of financial prudence, I would definitely push for a reduction of the asking amount.

To be as clear as possible regarding the allocation of funds, are you solely receiving the full amount for this prop?

EDIT: For clarification, its not a comment on talent or worth but amount in the treasury. Any lowering of ask should reflect the quantity of video output such that no value you’ve assigned to your art is lost. I hope you don’t feel discouraged!

Hi Josiah,

Each video is released weekly, so the full amount will be paid out in the course of 20 weeks.
This means 0.15 per week. Most of the video’s cost about 10-12 hours of production.

This includes :

β€’ Drawing & Ideating the ideas into a storyboard.
β€’ Collecting, and Downloading Assets to be used or Created.
β€’ Creating the Scene in a 3D Program.
β€’ Animate the Characters & Interactions.
β€’ Cut & ADD extra Effects in After Effects.
β€’ Sound Design + Music
β€’ TIKTOK / YOUTUBE SHORTS posting

I would be the sole receiver yes but the plan was made with @KingOffling so it’s all good to use the assets. ( wich i do edit - for fingers / armatures/ re-paint textures etc…)

With taxes this would still come down to about half the hourly of an animator, so while it may seem alot it’s also alot of hours i have to put into the content.

Love this idea! Can’t wait to see this in action!! Also maybe new characters??? !!
