Channel #1: Lindsey Stirling
My first exposures:

She also does a lot of cool collaborations
Here are some of my favorites:

She also has quite a few originals, which tend to be more artsy, like this one:

But also fun:

Channel #2: Indy Mogul 

Sadly they aren't posting any more because they need to focus on their real careers, but they keep the videos online for peeps like me!

After each tutorial, they'd do a "test film", like these:

YouTube Channels That Nate Liketh

Firstly, one of the most interesting men on YouTube, Casey Neistat.  This man is fascinating.  I always end up watching a string of his videos instead of just one.

This was my introduction to Mr. Neistat:



For a quicker introduction, see this how-to vid:



And here's an example of his editorial work:

DREAM BIG - Inspiring Animation

I'm a sucker for these kinds of videos

Creature Comforts

A classic film from Nick Park:

The Bear and the Hare

This is one of my favorite animated shorts, and I would say it "builds the kingdom" for the very simple reason that it's about friendship.  I don't think the fact that it's an advertisement detracts too much from that, but feel free to disagree.

John Lewis The Bear And The Hare from Toby Howell on Vimeo.






This one is just for fun.  I found it today and thought it was hilarious.  It has to do with themes of creation/creativity, but in terms of religion could be seen as a bit irreverent.

Building the Kingdom - Modern Disney Princess.... sort of ;)

Enjoy! 

This is about marriage/relationships. Lots of good stuff.

Funny Animal animation

Good 3D animation

Animation - Build the Kingdom

Here is a shortish (about 7 minute) film. It's not so much building, as it is about coming to the light, and such.

Animation Channel

Okay, so, obviously, this is last week's stuff, but here's a great animation channel, and a great video from said great channel:

New Motion Capture Tech!

A new way to capture motion without a suit! Still a young tech, but could be the future of motion capture.
