{"body": "## **Introduction**\n\nWe are thrilled to introduce the VRBs Artist Series: ‘***Behind The Pixels’***\n\nOur plan is to highlight the top artists in the VRBs community, showcasing their art so our community and Crypto Twitter can get to know the artists behind the pixels.\n\nWe believe artists are the heart of DAOs like VRBs. To celebrate them, we're proposing a short video series featuring some of the best artists from the VRBs DAO.\n\nThis initiative uplifts the spirit of our community, spreading the ethos of VRBs : one story at a time.\n\n## **Summary**\n\nThis proposal seeks to create awareness and appreciation for the artists who contribute to the Vrbs ecosystem. We plan to produce short and engaging episodic video series featuring the top 5 artists from our DAO every month.\n\nThe idea is to reveal the artists behind the pixels.\\\nThrough my conversations with the artists in our DAO, I've learned they are much more than the art they create.\\\nThis series will serve as a gesture of gratitude, featuring their stories and showcasing their work.\n\n## **Proposal**\n\nTo achieve this mission, we seek funding to make the series possible. We are mindful of the DAO's budget and have devised cost-effective methods to bring this project to life.\n\n*   We will record all episodes via Zoom or another recording platform.\n*   The questions and core topics will revolve around getting to know the artist, their feelings about Vrbs, their inspirations, their best artworks, and their future aspirations.\n*   Each episode will feature one artist and will be around 5-10 minutes long.\n*   We will handle editing, adding graphics, and post-production to ensure the content is crisp and engaging.\n\n### **Budget**\n\n*   Total cost of the Series (5 Episodes) (Total Request: 1 ETH):\n\n    *   Production: Scripting, Show format & Recording Stories: 0.3 ETH\n    *   Post Production: Editing, Color Grading, Audio Balancing, and Motion Graphics: 0.6 ETH\n    *   Content Strategy & Release on Twitter and YouTube: 0.1 ETH\n\n### **Plan**\n\n*   1st Phase : 20 Days: - Show Formatting & Scripting + Structuring, Scheduling recordings with artists\n*   2nd Phase 20 Days: Post Production & Release\n\n### **Accountability and Success Metrics**\n\nSuccess will be measured by the number of views, Twitter & YouTube impressions, and the feedback from artists and the community. Suggestions and feedback will be incorporated into future seasons.\n\n## **Treasury Impact**\n\nThe total funds requested represent approximately 3% of the current treasury balance (31.42 ETH). This amount was calculated thoughtfully, ensuring sufficient reserve for other community activities while delivering exceptional content that boosts the morale of artists and spreads awareness about Vrbs DAO.\n\n## **Author**\n\nKishan Boriya\n\nI have spent half a decade working with Web3 DAOs and brands, helping them with content and marketing narratives.\\\nI am currently working on a Nouns DAO funded Film Project. Some of my clients include Nouns DAO, Kevin Owocki, Polygon, Berachain, Starknet, and MH Ventures.\\\nI have created over 70 videos, generating 700K+ views. I am well-versed in Web3 culture and I am part of many DAOs that support public good and support artists.\n\n## **Transparency**\n\nThe author is committed to full transparency and will provide regular, detailed reports on the progress and stages of the content.\n\n### **Conclusion**\n\nBy funding the ‘***Behind The Pixels’*** series, Vrbs DAO will create content that resonates with the community, celebrates artistic talent, and has lasting significance. This series will invite more individuals and artists to participate in our growing community.\n", "title": "Vrbs DAO: Artists Series (Behind The Pixels)"}
