Has anyone tried creating a YouTube or TikTok series covering the sequences?

I would love to see a playlist, that just covers, in order, each of the sequences. Ideally, I might think of each video as being a chapter, resulting in a series of 26 videos covering all 6 books.

I have read the sequences a few times, and while I am not an expert in youtube video creation, etc. I think it is a way to get a lot more reach and spread these ideas further. 

Are there any guidelines in terms of fair use or adaptation of this source material? 

I am thinking of giving it a shot and trying to create the first video "Predictably Wrong", but I am not sure if that would step on any toes, so I figured I would ask here first.

Thank you! I was thinking of something a little different, but I'm glad someone else has thought about how people don't read as much.

Rational Animations is probably more similar to what you mean, although maybe still not quite.

(By the way, I still encourage you to go take a stab at your own version of this – I don't at all think the two things I linked "have it covered")

I've also been considering this!

Though I'm quite new to rationality I am a professional filmmaker. And I dedicate most of my time to creating educational content on YouTube (Though it is not successful I get a lot of enjoyment out of it)

My worry has been a lack of understanding of The Sequences, as i'm just making my way through them for the first time now. Maybe we could help each other out?
