JupAnimated Episodes: Announcing 30 Days “JupAnimated” Challenge (Updated)

General
1

I have been creating guides to answer questions about Jupiter exchange, JUP DAO etc. for about 4 months+ now and I want to take things up a bit from that.

So, I am introducing a new episode series called “JupAnimated” (Thanks to the community members who picked the name - see details here https://www.jupresear.ch/t/what-should-i-name-this-jupiverse-project-pt1-kindly-suggest/35344?u=foskaay ) where I want to contribute to Jupiverse by researching questions people ask about Jupiter products, services and DAO on Youtube/Google searches and forums like this (mean actual existing or prospective users asking real questions they need help on about Jupiter) and then create an easy to understand ANIMATED guide answer for each of them featured in the episodes.

A. What is “JupAnimated” episodes about

B. Why am doing this

C. Proof Of Work

D. How it will be achieved

E. 30 Days “JupAnimated” Challenge

F. Next Phase

G. SideNote

A. What is “JupAnimated” episodes explained

JupAnimated Episodes uses Animation to help you access simplified answers to your questions about Jupiter Exchange, Jupiter DAO, Jupiter DAO Voting, Jupiter ASR, Jupiter Working Groups, Catdet, CoC, Jupuary and a lot more within the Jupiverse…

B. Why am doing this

Am Solomon Foskaay and I love to create educational content (both technical and non-technical) and think there is no better DAO that is open and supportive to do that as of today in Cryptoverse like Jupiter DAO.

I simply want to identify people’s Jupiter-related questions in searches and create helpful simplified guides to help solve them.

C. Proof Of Work

As previously stated, I have been creating guides about Jupiter for over 4 months randomly as seen below playlist but now want to put it under animated episodes and be more frequent on it too:

The first video done 17th August 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K6P8p_c0is&list=PLWFmgn4o2qZrvhRhAXNJLLQemnArsGRW3&index=19

Article example:

D. How it will be achieved

The new “JupAnimated” will be episode done in the following format to capture users across multiple platforms via ExploreWeb3 accounts:

1. Video (Youtube - Dedicated playlist at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWFmgn4o2qZrkIfVATZDLZDv7E28u2mnt - Headup: depending on when you check. If done now, you will see a single non-animated Jupiter guide video for now but once the 30 days challenge starts, the playlist will feature the JupAnimated series content moving forward)

2. X (Share the guide on x via https://x.com/ExploreWeb3xyz )

3. JupResearch (Will share a summary with lists of all the content for the community to also check it out)
UPDATE: Henceforth All the 30 days Jup Animated challenge episodes will be posted as replies below.

E. Announcing 30 Days “JupAnimated” Challenge

To kick start this I am starting with a 30-day “JupAnimated” Challenge, where I want to create animated content to answer Jupiter questions daily for 30 days.

I will be posting a summary here every 2-3 days for the 30 days with lists of all the content for the community to also check it out, and help spread it to other members by sharing and giving their helpful feedback too.

NOTE: Considering this is animated videos requiring more time, I won’t be publishing daily. Instead, I currently target 1-2days for prep/research/creation and 1-day publishing (making a total of 10-15 videos target for the 30 days)

When Starting?

I plan to start the 30 Days “JupAnimated” Challenge by Monday 17th February 2025 and probably end by 17th March 2025 (I said probably because, I would like to continue the episode even after the 30 days challenge but won’t be at such frequency, much less but still consistent. Just want the challenge to kick things up and have enough content faster to help answer more Jupiter questions within a short time).

F. Next Phase

After the 30 Days “JupAnimated” Challenge, I plan to continue this series with 1-2 episodes weekly.

I will be taking the feedback you send for the next 30 days to make a more concrete plan for fine-tuning the episode after the challenge is over.

Thus, PLEASE kindly help support my 30 days JupAnimated challenge posts by checking them out, sharing it and sending your constructive feedback (I love feedback but constructive ones “not destructive” is what I will give attention to).

Thanks!

I shared this on Discord but realized you are probably more active here as you shared this link. So sharing the thoughts on the videos here as well.

Some thoughts:

  1. The way the day and episode numbers are presented is a bit unclear. Are you planning to release one animated video per day? How Day 5 and Episode 3 are related is not clear.

  2. The animation feels a little overwhelming. Also the font can be a bit hard to read due to the effects and background animations. And all this is in a short timeframe which makes if bit difficult to read, listen and watch the animation. Using Jupiter’s color scheme might help

  3. Quality > Quantity.
    With so much content available these days, what really stands out is high-quality work. I would suggest to shifting to one well-crafted video per week for the start and then once you get the videos right then ramp up the speed. Animation do take time to create and doing so hastily will not do justice to the videos.

  4. You might find some inspiration from the Whiteboard Crypto YouTube channel. They have great explainers that are easy to follow.

  5. Structure of the videos. So not all the videos have to follow the similar structure which is being followed right now - Problem, Solution, Features & Benefits. You can have different structure based on content of that video

I agree with you Ray.

I love what you’re doing but focus on high quality = you’ll get more views

  1. Kindly read the 30 Days challenge announcement above. I made it clear that the 30 Days challenge is just personal challenge to kick start the JupAnimated series and have a goal to produce 10 to 15 videos total within the next 30 days (that’s about 1 day publishing and 1-2 days to prep for next content). That’s while the Episode can’t be same as the challenge days numbering (am sorry if I get you confused on that) .

  2. Thanks for this, next episode am working on, will make the subtitles much clearer from the animation. I keep improving it per episode

  3. It’s not hasting. It’s how I want this episodes done. After the challenge will scale back to about 2 per week. Am not focusing on animation quality, am focusing on getting people informed about things within Jupiverse which is constantly evolving on daily bases on a timely manner. Think shorts/reel/stories/ not long form content.

  4. Sure been a subscriber of his channel for 2years+. He does whiteboard long animation, I am more tending towards 3D/Realistic and short animation content.

5.Sure. For now the videos done so far are “What is” types of video which are just focusing to explain terms, events, proposals etc within Jupiverse within short times as possible.
So, the format serves well and changing constantly per video isn’t necessary to ensure viewers get to understand the problem the subject aim to solve, how it solves it if already launched, the benefits etc.

For sure whenever I have other types of subject to discuss that does not fit it, am always willing to adjust like below:

Later, I plan to include “How to” type animated guides, thats when I would have another structure because that is guiding users on how to do something not just informing them about a proposal and why it’s good or bad for the ecosystem etc. Like “what is” But instead it’s guiding for example how to use Swap on Jup mobile etc.

While I do appreciate your constructive feedback and will improve on the text display for more readability BUT equivating quality to making 1 episode weekly won’t serve the focus of delivering timely info on educating people about things going on in Jupiverse within shortest time possible in a short less than 3minutes animation.

Thanks once again for taking the time to send your constructive feedback. Really appreciate the effort!

Interestingly, I was thinking of you after publishing Ep3 because I promised to adjust based on your constructive feedback on the audio for Day 3 of the 30 Days challenge (JupAnimated Episode 2) of it been too fast, no space between words making it hard to understand and sounds robotics.

I did took time to improve on the audio and indeed glad you were also able to notice the improvement in the Ep3.

As I always say. I will keep improving on essential things per episode.

Thanks ones again for the constructive feedback.
Really appreciate your time used to watch and send helpful suggestions for improvement.

Sound criticism & honest feedback. Think you capture most of what I thought and more.
Also think you should consider voiceover with a universally understandable accent, you might consider hiring a professional voice actor with a neutral or widely understood accent, such as:
• Neutral American English (widely understood globally)
• Received Pronunciation (RP) British English (clear and formal)
• General Australian or Canadian English (neutral and clear)
• International English (a blend of clear pronunciation from multiple regions)

Not well informed of this but there are also AI-generated voiceover services like ElevenLabs, Murf, or WellSaid Labs that offer realistic voices with various accents.

It’s always refreshing to see someone embrace feedback while working toward a goal. When you apply constructive criticism to your work, there’s only one possible outcome—success!

That will be costly and not been paid to do this.
I got little resources and thats while I do include donation option to help keep things going.

There are a multiple of tools am already paying monthly subscriptions for animation etc. adding this isn’t visible.

As much as I appreciate this, there are 2 problems with it:

  1. Most web3 teams dislike AI-generated voices and I am certain you saw a previous comment on the voiceover on sounding robotic/AI even though it was my real voice but edited to cut spaces to make it faster because am not a fast speaker (so no go area for now).
    Doubling my voice with some AI tools may work much better but that too is costly to maintain monthly for me.

  2. In this AI age, my voice is my uniqueness in the content to differentiate me from others. I may not have a US/British accent but my English accent is still clearer than lots of other non-native English countries.

Yeah, I don’t ignore constructive feedback because am not starting perfect, so they help point to where there could be improvements.

Meanwhile, really appreciate your constructive feedback too.
Thanks a lot!
