Thanks for putting this proposal together, it is my belief that having high quality audio and video is going to be well worth the investment. It also helps that you are so interested in the DAO ecosystem, I would like to propose that through this process you become a member of the Cartel to follow and document how we do things throughout the next series of events. Who knows this could become a standalone documentary that has a massive impact on the rest of the community.

Your proposal has my support and I think if we’re going to do it right let’s do it 100% top quality equipment and post-production is a worthwhile spend.

Let’s see if we can get a couple more signals of support here before you put this up to a vote.

Strongly in favor of this proposal - I’m very excited that Peregrine is interested in producing MCon (and at a favorable rate). He does an excellent job with ETHDenver, I’m confident he’s going to do an outstanding job with MCon.

Contracting Peregrine is a strong signal to our brothers and sisters around the world, who weren’t able to attend in person, that we are thinking about them - because they are going to get to enjoy MCon (almost) as much as we will.

Yea. Agree. Think the proposal looks great! Strongly support.

High quality AV is always worth it. TLDR; the community is all hands on deck & working hard to make sure MCon is amazing; might as well go the full mile & document the whole thing correctly :slight_smile:

I support. having good content come out of this will be very valuable for the greater MC and eth community.

100% support this initiative. As someone who is newer to the community and can only attend one day of MCON, this is of high value to me. I imagine this could be the case with many others. Further, the rate looks more than reasonable to me (fwiw)

Other comments that resonate with me:

I really like this idea @Yalor and love how you are thinking big!

@0xJoshua - this is spot on. Let’s spread ze love

I would love to see this initiative supported!

Think we all recognize the importance of this, livestreaming and having a high quality recording of the great conversations and providing access to those who are unable to join us IRL will be worth it if we get just ONE person working in a DAO.

Re: the upgraded camera package, is there a significant quality difference?

Also, would love to get some measurable stats at the conclusion of this. What would be some KPIs that we could benchmark to see this was a success (besides my one person into a DAO :stuck_out_tongue:)?
