+1 > Struggled to make up my mind on this. There are parts that i really like (i root for sunny!) but its not enough to turn it into a hell-yeah for me. > > The choice of LA location/timing overlapping with Nounstown is interesting and _could_ be a great call in a ’ the whole is greater than the sum of its parts’ sense, but its not obvious to me that’ll be the case. > > +1 > > > A contrarian take (since majority are in favor) but i guess the team will appreciate this feedback. > > --- > > > > This is a 110K USDC effective prop (69K+12E) > > > > - Sunny overall is a great athlete and rising pro surfer, and the first documentary was an interesting watch. > > > > - Woohoo channel collab seem one-directional because they are co-opting into the production instead of truly supporting it by sponsorsing a part of it. The prop also doesn't talk about what this distribution deal actually look like ? Are they retrofunding you some of production cost , sponsoring more episodes etc etc. Just surface level numbers do not mean much in this case. > > > > - Sunny is traveling with his crew and Nouns is paying full comp for this down to the park authorizations. Not sure if they looked at finding a local crew was explored (travel cost is 40% of your budget) > > > > - “It’s challenging to compare proposals, Nicaragua is a much cheaper country compared to the US. We are keeping our costs to a minimum to deliver a project of 5x higher quality (5 episodes) and produce a series that people will want to watch. This is a full-time 5-month project.” - Ricky's comment stuck with me. Why did this have to be done in California (historically an expensive location to fly in and film). Could you potentially achieve the same goal in a location which helps you achieve the documentary output and its core takeaway lessons? > > > > > > I would be leaning yes at a lower cost because spirit of the proposal is in a right place. (I liked the previous prop)
