Announcing "Steemit Explained" — A New Animated Series
Steemit is a disruptive and revolutionary social media platform. As such, the way it works is so different from anything we've ever seen before. That can make it a confusing place for its users.
Maybe you're new here. Maybe you've been here for a while but still have questions. Maybe you just like fun animated content.
If any of those statements are accurate, my new series is for you!
I'm here to officially announce my animated informational series, Steemit Explained.
A Breakdown of Steemit Explained
I've mapped out ideas and begun the writing process for the first four episodes in the series. Here are the topics:
- What is the Blockchain?
- Social Media on the Blockchain
- Voting Power
- Steem Power Delegation
Voting power you say? Hmm, that seems oftly familiar. Didn't you already make an animated video about voting power? You're correct, astute reader! I did. It looked like this:
When I made the decision to turn this concept into a series, I thought it would be a very good idea to start at the very beginning and explain the basics. Because of that, my first episode is becoming episode 3.
That's right, like George Lucas before me, I'm retroactively making my first movie a later installment in the series.
If Lucas can do it, so can I!
Release
I'm not going to commit myself to a set schedule. That will only lead to broken promises. However, I can say that I will work hard to release these videos on a semi-regular basis. Maybe one every few weeks.
I hope you'll follow me to keep up with this series.

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this. I have been trying to explain this and Steemit to my friends but having this video and the rest of your series will help me so much!! One of the most exciting things thats happened to me on steemit today!
Yes great stuff!
More clarity is always a great thing, and nice to get noobheads like myself up to steem speed !!
Excellent explainer video! I will be sharing this on my social profiles!
Great animation!

This is awesome! It's also my first resteem :)
I'm honoured :)
Fun and intelligent way to educate the steemit community, I really like this brother initiative, hopefully this work can be translated so that the Spanish-speaking community also has the opportunity to learn in this way all the important details so that they can get a reasonable growth in this great multicultural platform as steemit is.
Thank you for the explanations. Very intelligent and helpful!
If I knew another language, I would gladly make a dub for non-English members of the community. If there's anybody interested in doing a Spanish (or any other language) dub, they can feel free to record it and send it to me so that I can edit it into the movie! Of course, they would have to keep the timing the same.
That's a serious offer by the way. If you, or anyone you know is interested in making a dub, we can collaborate on it (and share the profits!)
If brother seems very interesting and good that you are receptive to the proposal I will investigate in my Spanish-speaking community who can translate faithfully the animation we would all win to be able to achieve it.
That would be fantastic. I know there's a prominent Spanish-speaking community here on Steemit. It would be great if my content could reach them too.
Friend and talk to a brother of the Hispanic community that I think you can translate your animation but with subtitles so you do not have to modify the audio, I pass the video for you to analyze it, I'll put you in touch soon and we will win all
I can send you a full English transcript if it would help.
Good afternoon if you send me the text so that the friend starts translating it, to this email address: [email protected]
Sorry, I was busy yesterday. I'll send the text today. I'll actually begin by sending you the text for the new video I'm working on since that will actually be episode 1 in the series.
Is your friend on Steemit too?
I sent you an email.
Looking forward to it.
Is the info in the video about voting outdated ? It seemed to be pre HF19.
The video was made post HF19, all the rules are up to date.
Thank you @sethlinson.
Looking forward to the series.
This is fun, easy to understand and I will spread it around to anybody I invite to steem as its self explanatory can't wait for this series' other parts keep it up :)

Thank you! They need to post this on their main page. I had such little understanding of how things worked, I was almost convinced this was a scam. Your video helped a lot. Thank you!!
Excellent post
This is great @sethlinson! Who did the voiceover?
Look forward to seeing more.
Thanks! I did the voiceover, which is something that I'm generally uncomfortable with since I hate hearing my own voice. But I did speak in a way that isn't natural to me and edited the pitch. So it's barely my voice.
I plan to do more voice acting in my animations so I can get more used to it.
Cool. It sounds great! How long did it take to produce this?
Are you on steemit.chat or discord?
I'd love to chat with you in the future since I myself am trying to get into the animation game. It sure looks like you have a lot of experience in the field.
I'm on Steemit Chat, username: sethlinson. Message me any time!
This actually only took me 15 hours over 2 days to put together which is absolutely insane. I'm used to working fast (fast, relative to how slow animation work is) but I put this movie together ridiculously quickly. I'll find out after the next one whether the first time was just a fluke or if I can keep up such quick output.
I studied film in university from 2011-2015, with my last two and a half years solely focused on animation. So I've been animating for about four and a half years now.
