Stoopid Buddy Stoodios Jumps In With Steve Aoki For New NFT Series Dominion X

2X Grammy-nominated artist and NFT creator Steve Aoki joins forces with Seth Green’s Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, the studio behind the Emmy Award-winning Robot Chicken and the upcoming stop-motion series Ultra City Smiths, to present Dominion X, the first episodic series to launch on the blockchain. It arrives on August 2nd via Nifty Gateway, the exclusive NFT marketplace owned by Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and on www.DominionXshow.com.

Dominion X is a 21st century animated short directed by 2X Emmy Award-winner Eric Towner (Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K.) and produced by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, whose flagship program Robot Chicken just received a 2021 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Short Form Animated Program. The concept is based on Character X, a character who first appeared in Steve Aoki’s debut NFT drop Dream Catcher (with Antonti Tudisco.) Stoopid Buddy Stoodios handcrafted the physical characters and sets, while meticulously filming the animation frame by frame, which was then set to original music scored by Aoki. Now thanks to the benefits of blockchain and NFT technology, fans are being offered a once in a lifetime chance to own a piece of a show, both physical and digital, before it ever premieres on traditional television or streaming.

Minted from a custom smart contract with unique interactive traits built directly into the NFT via Ether Cards, Dominion X is Aoki’s third major NFT project in 2021 alone, following his successful Dream Catcher and Neon Future drops. Dominion X’s Debut Short ‘Level 1’ introduces us to the world of Character X, a character personified with Aoki’s signature fang face logo, and his obliviously contentious relationship with the diminutive Chonk and Swole. You can watch their worlds collide in this “1 of 1” animated NFT debut short as well as get a chance to own any one of the 15 individual scenes that make up the short and win one of the physical puppets used in the actual making of the short.

Dominion X and the limited edition vignettes will be minted on the blockchain one time only and available to purchase through Nifty Gateway, allowing fans to participate in the creation of new IP in a revolutionary way. Thanks to a partnership with Ether Cards, each individual NFT will have a built-in layer of functionality that will reveal itself in the weeks and months after the sale. This added layer of utility will allow collectors to be rewarded with both NFTs and physical pieces used in the making of the show.

By minting these shorts on the blockchain first, Steve Aoki and Stoopid Buddy Stoodios are allowing the public to own a piece of the show, both digitally and physically, before it airs anywhere else. Moreover, the episode and eventually the full series will live on the blockchain forever, guaranteeing the public’s ability to view it regardless of distribution and exclusivity rights seen in traditional TV and streaming formats.
