# Nouns Stoodio Too X Nouns Creative

### Nounish narratives are popping up everywhere. Let's bring them to life!

TL;DR Stoopid Buddy and Nouns will leverage Community Excitement, CC0 and Prop House to create animated works.

Imagine you're at SXSW, it's 2024, and there's a line of people waiting to get into Paramount Theater.  Everyone is wearing funky glasses and colorful clothes and talking about "Nouns."  Curious, you ask someone in line "What is this?" She tells you some of the biggest names in animation have gathered to watch a series of shorts funded by the Nouns DAO and made by some of the most exciting established and up and coming storytellers in animation. There's a horror short, an anime inspired drama, a very adult comedy, a high concept tear jerker short listed for an Academy Award. You enter the theater and your mind is blown. At the end of the night another surpise as a panel of Nounders share that almost all of the assets you saw up on screen, the character models, storylines, they are all available and open source, hosted on the blockchain, ready for you to build with and add your contribution to the Nouns storyverse. And those assets that aren't avaialble, well those are from a short that's already been optioned by a major studio that plans to develop it into a full length feature. This is where we're headed, a place where Nouns equips and empowers storytellers to make groundbreaking content across all genres that land in living rooms and theaters and screens all over the world. So how to we get from here to there? It all starts with Stoodio Too.

The Nouns Stoopid Animation Festival will include works ranging from some of the best animation teams in the world to students and indie submissions. We will include as featured artists or judges some of the most well known animators, directors and producers.

Leveraging web3 tools such as Prop House, Nouns Builder and more we can create novel ways of attracting story tellers of all kinds and empowering communities.

We've broken this long term vision into 3 Proposals that build on top of each other. (Let's make these sections more robust with clear deliverables, etc)
