Video projection playlists

YouTube playlists curated by Jason Carswell to start pulling stuff from:

◉ ANIMATION ◉

♫ Hallowe'en Shoundz ♫

YouTube fan-edited videos by Khameleon808:

The Apple Tree Feat. The Glitch Mob

The Apple Tree II Feat. The Glitch Mob

Day (for kids)

All kid-friendly clips or short videos.

Night (for adults)

Just animated?

Edited clips, shorts and/or features?

IMO, the best would be a healthy balance of diverse aesthetics clips with a heavy sprinkle of animation and good Burton. Clips can dazzle. Length will drag. The only place for full stories, shorts or features, is in the basement's theatre.
