WORLD’S FIRST: 3D AR COMEDY FROM GABRIEL RUTLEDGE
"Gabriel Rutledge is a quick thinking, fast talking, hardworking badass." - Louisville Weekly
Comedian Gabriel Rutledge is delivering his stand-up comedy as a 3D hologram from Popins for the first time. His 3-minute set “Good For You Body” will become Gabriel’s first NFT and will be released in the coming days on Rarible.com. Fans around the world, whether they own his NFT or not, can conjure him whenever they need a friend and a laugh.
In Gabriel’s words, “They recorded me in front of a green screen, in front of a gazillion cameras, and the result is - literally anywhere you can point your smartphone, you can watch me perform comedy - just for you. A tiny version of me. A giant version of me. Put me on the TV while it’s turned off so I can pretend like I got a comedy special. Spin me around. Look at me at angles that I am quite frankly not comfortable looking at myself. Do whatever you want, it’s like living in the future. We don’t have flying cars yet, but we do have this.”
Anyone with the link, available at https://www.Popins.io, will be able to find and watch Gabriel’s photo-realistic performance at no cost. Collectors of the NFTs will have their name and image displayed via chyron on their edition of the NFT for everyone to see, and their name will be recorded on the blockchain to show their early support of Gabriel.
The NFT will be sold on Rarible.com. 11 editions will be available at the fixed price of .11 ETH.
This will be the first in a series of stand-up sets from Gabriel and Popins to be released as AR NFTs in 2022.
