    Still love this short film even after all these years. I have one request: Is it possible to repost this film in HD?

  • @RestructorRevolution
    @RestructorRevolution Před 13 lety +7

    This film has literally changed my life. I can't watch it without getting teary eyed, honestly. The message behind it is just so powerful and beautiful and in the end, I'm left feeling so complete; so full of emotions and it's so amazing that someone was able to come up with something so intense, but so heartwarming. I'd love to meet the team responsible for this and thank them personally... This video will always hold a special place in my heart!

    There are a couple places for the dead to go once they've died in Irish lore and mythology. One of them is Tir Na Nog, and is generally considered the home of Mannanan Mac Lir. You don't have to die to go there, so some people think the stories of going there are a bit of a representation of a life changing epiphany or journey. There's also the House of Donn which I've heard as translated as a type of resting place before you do whatever it is you're going to do after you die. There's also a concept of reincarnation in the old stories (which is seen with the grandma and grandpa when they turn into crows).

  • @janetrof
    @janetrof Před 14 lety +1

    It made me remember an event of my life. When my grandmother died after four months of my grandfather's dead, I was so sad but when I realized he came looking for her, I became happy again. My feelings of that time came all together with this story.

  • @Voodoofox3
    @Voodoofox3 Před 13 lety +1

    This is great! I lost my grandmother when I was 10 yrs old. My grandfather died before i was born i think. I know that she is safe with him up in heaven.

    i like how they used the idea of crows! when my cousin came from visiting France, she told me the stories about how people come back as crows.
    just beautiful!

    My Aunt died on 8 October, 2011 at 06:43AM EST She was the most gentle, patient and kind person I have ever met. I am 44, she was 60.
    I didn't come here because I searched for this video. I was drinking some beer and decided to drown my sorrows by watching my tiny list of sad videos and when I clicked on YT this was one of the videos on my top page.
    I saw the name of this video and it intrigued me along with the art on the thumbnail.
    You know the rest.
    R.I.P. Aunt Helen...I'll miss you...

    I would definitely think the long-billed figure is the Death, and indeed in the end they dropped a strong hint that they might have been a couple.
    Admirable!!

      @ManiacalSurgeon Před 7 lety +4

      Deepwater Canoe I absolutely love American Dollar! I've just learned of Fursy and his band Les Discret and watched his video and recognized the song right away! You should check out Marc Byrd's band Hammock! That's another post rock band I absolutely love!!

    • @hemalathavegi7910

      Ha! Right on man! That's great! If you have you use Spotify, I've got a playlist named 'Ambient Post Rock' with over 700 songs that's pretty awesome! I use the same profile name.

  • @T97Frida
    @T97Frida Před 14 lety

    Agree. As beautiful and touching this movie is, it´s frustrating that the rights disclaimer appears in such big letters ABOVE the info about this piece of art. It´s like a painting covered with the letter "If you don´t wanna buy it, don´t look at it" It´s creatvity man - share it with the world!

    Ooh, I got goosebumps from this... =D
    Even the simplest of drawings can become life with just a right amount of shading & lighting...
    I thought the animation was visually perfect! I also thought the video was gorgeously combined with its graceful music and calm setting. The almost sunset-y glow was wonderfully fit for the mood of the film. I also liked how this was based on Celtic mythology too!
    Love it! Great video! n_n

  • @BrokeredHeart
    @BrokeredHeart Před 15 lety

    I don't think you and I were watching the same short film then.
    I don't think this was being pretentious at all. The animation was beautiful, and it is rarely that you see watercolor incorporated into new animation, what with everything being 3D. It's a throwback to the early stuff, and the lighting and stark relief was just beautiful.
    If you can't see the sincerity of the storyline itself, thru the 'crap', at least respect the artist's workmanship. That's where the true beauty lies.

    Absolutely beautiful, got me a wee bit choked up too. For many years I've had a secret wish, to become a raven when I pass. Crows & ravens are my fav. birds, their spiritual lore, their intelligence, their 'knowing'. Lovely piece of thoughtful animation, going to check for more from this creator.....

    Incredible movement. I found all the backgrounds to be a little "photoshop" looking, but that is just something that I personally dont care for, and it isn't even a big deal. I can't get over the character movement. It is so fantastic.
