My New Animation for Steemit Explains Voting Power to Newcomers
I've never put something together as quickly as I made this little film. I can't believe it only took me about 15 hours over the course of 3 days to create.
Following a huge number of questions about voting power that I got on my recent post, I decided to make an animation about that very subject. This little film will help newcomers understand how voting on Steemit works. Even if you aren't new, I think you might enjoy it!
Without further ado, here is the short informational film that I teased yesterday:
An Explanation of Steemit Voting Power

This is a great concise little video.
Followed, upvoted and resteemed.
Thanks again.
:D :D
Thank you so much! And you're welcome. Ha
I'm going to make this into a series, if you have any ideas for other videos, please share them here
Very clear and well explained! Thanks!
Good, I'm so glad.
Are there any other subjects you'd like to see me cover in another video? Let me know here
I loved the animation. Retro, funny and educational! Well done indeed!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
Due to the overwhelmingly positive response, I'm going to make more of these videos. If you have any ideas, please let me know here
Excellent explanation. Spreading the wealth generously! For some reason, your video reminded me of these classic guys haha
My designed were inspired by (read: stolen from) The Jetsons. Same era, similar style.
If you're interested in seeing more of these videos and want a say on the subjects, let me know here
I could upvote this post only once.
But,
This deserves all 10 of my votes at Full Voting Power.
Thank You so much.
Thanks. That means so much to me.
And I love the voice over and the background score. :)
You are very talented.
How about a short-film ;)
I have several animated short films. If you scroll through my blog you'll be able to find some of them.
I've decided to turn this into a series. If you have any questions about Steemit that you want to see answered, let me know here
Now I understand better. Thanks for the cute animation!
If you have any other questions, I'm making more of these videos and I want to know what people are confused about! Ask away here
ONLY took you 15 hours? you're kidding right?! i would have thought that it would take longer to do something like that. in any case, great video! i think it does the job of explaining voting power to newbies really well :)
Honestly, I don't know how I did it so quickly. Everything kind of fell into place. I've never made this much content in so little time.
Thanks for commenting!
I'm going to make another one of these things. Any questions about Steemit or suggestions? Let me know here
Great video it's helped cheers mike
I'm glad you found it helpful. I'm going to make this into a series. If you have any questions about the platform that you'd like to see answered, post them in the comments here
Yes definitely, I asked a question a few days ago about saving in my wallet but didn't get any replys . Some help would be helpful cheers
Recommended by @zeartul for a special upvote!
This video was extremely well done! The animation was incredible! I have been wanting to make a 2d video, but my skills for this are subpar.. Enjoy the upvote from htooms as I am voting as a whale tonight! Cheers my friend!
Just saw his recommendation! This means so much to me.
Thank you for your @htooms vote! And if you have any ideas for other 2d videos that you say you don't have the skills for, feel free to hit me up! I might be able to help. In fact, right now I'm having an open call for ideas for my next Steemit informational video
Awesome video! I love the style (reminded me of old movies and the old cartoon network - your characters looked like the Jetsons, too!). Love this. Looking forward to more of these vids :)
The jetstons was definitely an inspiration. I wanted an old-fashioned feel, and I've never cartooned in that style, so I pretty much just lifted those designs haha
I love it! Everything just fell into place. Even the narration. I can't imagine the video any other way. Sad about the fast voting drain though (I saw the upvotes as a "thumbs up you did great" sort of thing so I'm bummed I can't upvote like crazy.
I'm pretty self conscious about using my own voice, but it's easier to hire myself than a voice actor. But since I don't like hearing myself talk, I edit the crap out if it so that it's barely recognizable! haha
You can upvote like crazy, if all you want to give someone is a "thumbs up you did great." But the monetary value of your votes will decrease significantly and won't have a chance to recharge. Look forward to crossing the 500 SP border so that you can scale your votes.
If you make a series of videos with your voice on, maybe you can try editing it less and less until you're confident about it. But really, I love the video and I seriously hope you make a series out of it, teaching newbies like me that way. And yeah, I dream of being able to scale down a bit but 500 is probably eons away lol.
You can already use the voting power slider without reaching 500 SP - just go to chainBB and vote from there, every button gives you the slider as an option.
Thank you for the heads up :) I'll check it out.
I wasn't planning on making this a series, but the community is responding really well, so I just might do it!
And I really think they should change the rules. Scaling should be available to everyone.
Yes please! I'll be sure to watch them. :D
I WILL be making this a series. If you have any questions, ideas, etc. just say so here
