Chip Away – Critter Reels are simply playlists created in YouTube to consolidate all the short, non-episodic videos for each chapter of the Chip Away series.

These short videos are meant to expand the experience of the series by adding additional understanding and depth to the world these animals live in. Also, we often have great footage that didn’t make it into one of the Chip Away episodes and these short Chip Away – Critter Reels allow us to showcase these shots.

Nuthatch Jack and Launching Veronica (above) are two examples of Chip Away – Critter Reel videos that are compiled in these YouTube playlists.

Chip Away – Critter Reels are published in wide or vertical formats and they are compiled in separate playlists for each chapter of the Chip Away series. The wide and vertical videos in each playlist are different content, not just different resolutions of the same video. Sometimes the reels are better in vertical format and sometimes wide is better.

The YouTube playlists for the first chapter of the Chip Away series can be found here:

Chip Away – Critter Reels – CH1 – Wide – Playlist

Chip Away – Critter Reels – CH1 – Vertical – Playlist

These videos are free to watch and, though similar in concept, these Critter Reels are not the same as ‘The Critter Reels – The Peanut Gallery, Just Jimmy” or any other high resolution videos that are on sale in the Shop!
