Hi, Happy Sunday!

This post will be serving as a personal diary, where I gathered some of my favorite videos themed "60 seconds of steem"

Thanks to an initiative by @surfermarly, this contest has been very successful and has motivated many content - video creators to create their own, unique "60 secods" of what they consider of steem and guess what; most of them will become viral, the productions are really nice!

So, what is steem?

Steem is a blockchain used for the creation of the first decentralized social media platform.

But steem can be different things to different people, it can serve different needs and offer different accommplishments to different users.

We have witnessed so many diverse t interpretations of what steem is and in what ways this can be shared with the world. All these, in 60 seconds!

All Videos ""60 seconds of steem""

Feel free to explore here all the videos created or at this post where you can also cast your vote until February the 15th!

I tried to watch all videos yesterday and I have to admit that everyone of them had their own, personal perspective. All of the creations were beautiful, unique and it is evident that they were made with love for this platform.

However, there were a few that could be used for promotional purposes and I will be posting them here along with some notes about why I find them so unique

The videos are not presented in a specific order, I am just taking my saved tabs one by one!

1. STEEM Promo Video by @bitrocker2020

I liked the fancy, clean graphic elements.
The gentle movement and clear messages .
Words used like Global Community, the appearance of steem powered apps available and the 'free to join' messsage that is brought at the end of the video (with the links presented on screen pointing at steemit, utopian, oracle-d etc).

What I would love? A short description, the script and the links at the video description.

Why? If I point the video to my social media, I would like the audience to be able to click somewhere to learn more, to sign up, to contact.

This is a basic rule of marketing. If you create interest, you must help with a link for further info and support!

One of my favorites! Smiling faces, nice effects, easy words used, motivating and easy to connect! Everybody wants to follow their dreams.
Seeing someone who has accomplished to do so, it is extra motivating!

I loved the music, I loved all the scenes (the editing was awesome by the way), I loved the blue lipgloss :)

This video has energy, shows the face of a real person who is on steem, invites everyone who is anything to join steemit and I find it really motivating!

2nd entry - Open up your eyes to Steem... My 2nd Entry #sixtyseconds by lucylin

https://steemit.com/dtube/@lucylin/r6adwv9h

And the second entry does hit a weak spot. The moment the curtain opens, music is overwhelming and creates an amazing feeling.

I enjoyed the initial message

7 Billion people
7 Billion journeys
One Dream
To choose your own future

Simply, realistically amazing. Emotional and clear, with beautiful effects

Then the music is turning more vivid, empowering and shows people's experiences. and the message..

Do it your way

https://steemit.com/sixtyseconds/@coruscate/my-60-seconds-of-steem-video-has-already-attracted-a-new-steemian

This was another one from my favorites. True, Authentic, Sweet, Flowing and nicely edited. Lea is asking many commonly asked questions that will 'talk' to the viewers and surely create interest.

Lea has also added her profile and referral link for steem account creation. Well done!

I admit, this was one of my most difficult posts ever. I am sure I left out some wonderful videos, but I have been working more than 4 hours - under difficult circumstances, trust me

I was amazed to see so many creators! Well Done everybody for your time, efforts, talent, for being here and sharing your talent and moments!

I am sorry for the ones I left out. I have not voted yet, because I do wish to look at all the videos once more! I will also be sharing some of them in the very near future, some of them can be wonderful gifs to complement posts!

I hope you enjoyed my collection, please take a moment to visit this post where you can also cast your vote until February the 15th!

Some of my thoughts for video creators : )

It would be amazing if you could add ..

1. More descriptive Video Titles
2. Captions
3. Script and/or description at the youtube video postings
4. Sign Up Links
5. Creators Steem Profile links
6. Insertion of a watermark of the creators profile / logo.

What else I would like to see?

There are many active communities in specific niches! Science Lovers meet at steemstem.io .. fitness lovers meet at actifit.io .. opensource affectionados meet at utopian.io ... music lovers meet at dsound etc etc etc .. I would love to see videos created for specific users (but let us think about it for the future)

Thank You all for visiting, I wish you a wonderful Sunday!
