Approved

Abstract

We want to tell exciting space stories through videos so more people can learn about space and feel inspired. Think of it like making a space TV show that follows real people, real missions, and real experiences—so anyone, even a kid, can understand and get excited about space.


Problem

MoonDAO is doing incredible work in the space ecosystem, but much of its impact is not being captured or shared in a compelling, consistent, and high-quality way.

Without strong storytelling and media:

  • Community growth is slower
  • Public awareness is limited
  • Potential partnerships and funding opportunities are missed
  • Educational impact is reduced

Solution

This proposal establishes a content production partnership with Thr33media to create high-quality, consistent video content showcasing MoonDAO's mission, people, and participation in the space industry.

Core Components

  1. Content Strategy
  • Develop a unified media strategy targeting space enthusiasts, students, and future contributors
  • Focus on storytelling, education, and inspiration
  1. Content Production
  • Documentary-style storytelling (e.g., Frank White's journey)
  • Educational videos explaining space topics
  • Live streams of launches, events, and Q&A sessions
  • Short-form content for social media growth
  1. Signature Creative Projects
  • Cinematic documentary following Frank White:

  • Childhood and inspiration

  • Journey to space launch

  • Vision for humanity in space

  • Space Camp coverage (May):

  • Showcase hands-on experiences

  • Inspire younger audiences

  • Behind-the-scenes (BTS) coverage:

  • Launch events

  • Industry gatherings

  • MoonDAO's active presence in the space community

  1. Production Workflow
  • Pre-production: scripting, planning, scheduling
  • Production: filming, interviews, event coverage
  • Post-production: editing, color and sound design, final delivery
  1. Partnership Structure
  • MoonDAO: direction, access, expertise
  • Thr33media: execution, filming, editing, creative collaboration

Benefits

  1. Growth & Visibility
  • Increased brand awareness across Web3 and space communities
  • Stronger social media presence
  1. Community Expansion
  • Attract new members, contributors, and supporters
  • Inspire younger generations
  1. Revenue Potential
  • Sponsorship opportunities for video content
  • Monetization via platforms (YouTube, streaming, partnerships)
  • Increased treasury inflow via ecosystem growth
  1. Cultural Impact
  • Establish MoonDAO as a leading storyteller in decentralized space exploration

Risks

  1. Budget Uncertainty
  • Production costs may vary Mitigation: Start with scoped pilots and scale gradually
  1. Inconsistent Output
  • Delays in content production Mitigation: Set clear milestones and weekly reporting
  1. Audience Engagement Risk
  • Content may not perform as expected Mitigation: Iterate strategy using analytics and feedback
  1. Dependency on External Partner
  • Reliance on Thr33media Mitigation: Maintain shared creative control and documentation
