The woman and the banshee were voiced by the same actress, Katie McGrath. Awesome.
The banshee looks awesome tbh
The banshee is also Irish, like she should be. Yay.
She was speaking Irish then?
I thought it strange because it sounded like a made-up language but she seemed very certain.
Well, yes. It is Irish. In fact, "Tríd an storm" is Irish for "Through the storm"
Also, her first line is pretty easy to directly translate: "Ní beidh sé ag filleadh"
"Beidh" is the past tense of "Bí", meaning "Be" and comes after "Ní", basically meaning "not", "Sé" means "He" (similarly, "Sí" means "She") "Ag" is basically the equivalent of putting "ing" on the end of a verb in English and "Filleadh" means return.
And there's your first lesson in native Irish. Don't try to learn the rest because it will pan-fry your brain to a rather high extent, especially when is comes to vowels.
Word.
I agree. The Banshee was not just the old crone look that they are depicted as.
I had an alarm clock that had that exact scream.
... It must have been pretty scary... =D
+EkZac : it'd certainly wake someone up....with a heart attack, but you'd be awake! XD
+Bart Fielder that sounds awesome XD
+Bart Fielder man you are crazy ;)
Bart Fielder ouch dude XD that would give me a heart attack if I had mine set to that scream!
That was amazing. I can understand why the animated short won an award. The story was interesting and enticing. It made me curious from the moment I saw the banshee, I was so involved in the video that when it was over I felt like I had traveled to another world and back.The animated water looked amazing and the ending was... well I don't want to spoil it.
+Sarah Beaston predictable. The ending was predictable.
lol. well said.
+Azizi R If you are trying to predict how it will end, than you weren't immersed enough into the animation in the first place.
While it didn't "shock me to my core", I wasn't watching the movie to criticize it or look down upon it. Entertained me, I found it interesting and had a good plot. That's all that matters.
Right!! I was so engrossed from the first moment. The water was mesmerizing!
She gave her what she asked for, how sick is that!❤
I find animated shorts like this so much better than full length movies because so much more thought and emotion goes into making things like this. Maybe it's because the production teams are smaller and is easier to converse with each other. Anyways, this animated short is one of the BEST I've ever seen.
There are no pompous rich producers telling directors what to do.
Husand: Banshee lead me to my wife!
anshee: Can you guys please stop.
I’m laughing now. I see a sequel where they go back and forth, playing keep away with the mystical moonstone until the spirit hounds just give up one by one, do that turnaround circles thing and lie down to sleep with little mournful “chuffs”. The banshee has gone from “aaahhhhhh” to “arrgh” to “ohhh”; finally an exasperated little “phooey”. She sits and starts mending all the smartphones that have arrived at her feet. She watches “Death Fails” and “ Death Sails” on CZcams; begins giggling uncontrollably 😁. Recommend those by the way. Don’t know if I can link in a comment.
😂
Aah, a good old "mortal getting screwed over by the fair folk" kinda story. Reminds me of a tale my grandpa told me about a rich noble who met a man that claimed he was a fay. The noble challenges the man to prove his claim and the man replies that he'll do so by granting one of the noble's wishes. The noble haughtily replies that he already has everything he could ever wish for and, at this point, all he can wish for is for the man to prove that he is a fay... At the end of the story, (which is a bit too long to include here in its entirety,) the noble has lost his fortune, his house has burned down, his friends have turned their backs on him, his children have drowned in the brook, his wife has died from a broken heart, he has gone blind, become a cripple, is dying from some disfiguring pox and when he finally seeks out a priest to at least receive his last rites before he passes on, the priest says to him that he will be unable to enter heaven as he's already entered an agreement with a heathen spirit from 'neath the hills. Thus the noble's wish came true: All he wished for was to know if the man really was a fay, and the knowledge that he indeed was a fay was all he was left with.
Moral: Don't take the things you have for granted and never stop appreciating the things you do have. After all, everything you have now were once things that you merely wished that you had. Never stop wishing that you get to keep the things you appreciate... Also, never, ever act smug with a fay. They'll fuck your shit up.
That story is much better than this trite little video.
Yeah, missing around with the Fay can end very badly for anyone, so the start thing to do is give them their space and leave them alone or else they will ruin your life forever
@@teacupcarson4603 Fay is a name for a whole entire group of supernatural beings like Fairies, Gnomes, Dwarves, Elves, and many other types of supernatural beings of the same group that are known across the world, especially those of Europe that are much more well-known then those of the rest of the world.
@@teacupcarson4603 Your welcome, I've have done some bit of reading about the Fay, but I still don't know everything about the Fay like some people who done more reading and research about the Fay, but little by little I'm slowly learning more about the Fay so that if I end up with my own Fay encounter I will know what to do if I ever do encounter a Fay, but unlike most people I won't freak out if I ever encounter a Fay because when someone freak outs upon encountering a Fay, it tends to scare off the Fay instead of the person becoming friends with the Fay.
great story! particularly the priest detail... he was able to know 😄
Didn't even realize 7 minutes passed watching this. I get the same feeling watching crazy good movies.
My review for english class lol (Spoiler warning):
Accepting reality and ones own situation is key in moving on after a tragedy. Engaging in pseudoscience will never give you what you want. The impossible task of trying to bring back someone from the dead only binds grievers to their past memories with overlying emotional pain and suffering. Immediately in the short film Through the Storm by Fred Burdy, an ominous, dreary, and somber tone is set by the heavy storm, intense waves and the banshee. The unnamed protagonist tries to bring her lover back to life through the banshee’s black magic, yet she doesn’t get exactly what she asked for. The banshee even states: “I forewarn the end of lives. I do not restore them.” The exchange of life between her and her husband at the end signifies how striking a deal with a shady force can end poorly. As she becomes forever bound to a world of sorrow, she continues to dwell on something that cannot be truly changed. The banshee’s scream at the very end aligns with her death and binding to the netherworld. Her agony is now eternal. Fred Burdy uses the gloomy tone and the banshee to symbolize the sadness of not moving on from her plight to revive her husband. Tragedy breeds grievance, but that grievance must not be acted upon or it can forever shackle one to the past.
Yeah those were my thoughts too. This tale is about accepting.
Quinn Aquilini beautiful explanation
The true moral is never make a deal with Evil.
I only wish we could discuss how the banshee named the protagonist mortal, as if that meant that she was somehow lesser. In every mythos, yes, the mortal is finite in life, but deeper in power. The gods always depend on them. The supernatural forces and creatures envy them. And for good reason: The terminality of that life they have makes it vivid and meaningful, and the potential that they have of life after, in whatever form, under any mythos, is always present and worth fulfilling and chasing.
I love how the Banshee just smiles at the grim that wandered up sorta like "That's right Shuck. A treat".
The design of the Banshee look AMAZING!
the animation felt like something you'd see in a video game. I loved it! this short story animation was amazing, and the voice acting was amazing.
a life for a life that's the rule
a life with no wife that's so cruel
David Lacase he can get another
Katie Pearce ok so I'm right? She took the place of her husband?
@Katie Pearce
Word!
Bet her husband wouldn't like that one bit...
Don't mess with death... Leave everything as it is and, move on.
The most impressive elements are the water and clouds. Physics is incorporated into the production, the real wave action behavior of everything is a credit to the CG Brothers skill and devotion.
The Banshee and the dogs all look so incredible. I would love to have one of those dogs as a companion.
I wanted more of the story. Of banshee at least. When she said, "Its powers are older even than I." I wanted to know her origin makes me so damn curious!
I think that banshee was related to that young woman. They were family. That’s why we can’t see the banshee’s face at the end. She’s doubly keening.
The deal is made. You will wander the barren netherworld until your soul will fall to madness and decays into nothingness.
EDIT Yeah yeah netherlends underworld whatever. We all laughed, stop it.
Actually I think the woman died. When the banshee screamed at the end I think it was predicting the woman's demise.
+Sarah Beaston It might not have been immediately tho
Sarah Beaston
She went to the underworld to free/see her husband, but the banshee trapped her while her husband returned.
+Fusurugi Come on, Holland is not that bad
+Fusurugi The Netherlands ain't that bad :P We have stroopwafels!
She was warned by the banshee. Still she was willing to risk all for the man she loved. That is actually true love. I only watched this because the still picture looked interesting. I like the art, and the story.
So this woman out of uncontrollable grief just caused herself to wonder in timelessness forever.
so she what? switched places?

One thing about it was that the characters weren't obviously cartoon. Not _quite_ realistic, but enough to convey emotion and body movement. I would have liked to see more of the netherworld. Very evocative of Stonehenge.
02:25 I just love how they made those big waves move seemingly naturally, yet not one of them moves the little rowboat up and down, even a little bit!! Really well done.
in the story rime of the ancient mariner, which is also about bringing the curse of spirits for messing with nature's order, the sea and time stop, the boat does not really move and the boat the sailors are on becomes unstuck from time. Nothing affects it as death sails towards them (literally represented by a ship that is rotten and full of skeletons).
I am willing to bet that the creators of this film used caribou or elk calls for the banshee's scream as well as a woman's.
Cade Plaisance my thought aswell
Maybe even a pigs squeel
*as well
I've always loved listening to stories about the banshee and people sacrificing themselves to save their other half. this is amazing
Banshee is a death fairy that cries when there's someone is about to die. They cry for dead. ;w; beautifully presented.
Someone please make a movie!! I would love to watch a live action movie about this. :D
So... she died and he lived? It was a beautiful short but still a bit sad.
She was brave enough not to be treated as a sacrifice...
This is why you never trust the dead; they have nothing to lose.
The lack of emotion on her face is awful, even more when she is pinned between the veil of death and the Banshee
Kind of like the infamous Bella from Twilight
That is an amazing take on ancient folklore, absolutely breathtaking and the story is top notch, rivals dantes inferno.
A very good story, and very well told. Orpheus and Eurydice turned around :)
Excellent! I knew where it was going because the story is as old as man, but I followed it through because it sings in our selves... Great Job!!!
Here for Katie. But damn, story was goooood, and CGI is superb! 👏👏👏
I'm in love with that scream
The sound mixing is quality stuff in here. Really gripping animation!
4:23 *oh my god im in the film mum are you proud of me*
The Banshee.. What a lovely lady.
Very impressive. I doubt I could ever master digital animation and art.
i just love how calm the banshee is..
Sometimes things are best left alone. The afterlife is one of those things.
I don't know about you, but I believe that some of these "Animated Shorts" NEED to become full movies!
never asking for your death , be GRATEFUL and THANKFUL for your life, good short movie 🔥❤
Only death can pay for life!.. to give life back.. a life must first be given. This video is dark, melancholy & beautiful! I like it! :)
Amazing. We need animated films like this for adults, thought provoking, soul stirring. Not disney mind, melting tripe. Oh wait, who cares?
Has anyone here heard of Chilling Tales for Dark Nights and their new animation project? They have a Kickstarter starting in February apparently, to fund the first ever animated horror series. They just posted a video featuring work from David Romero, the illustrator that does their podcast pictures, and I'll be honest. It's pretty awesome stuff. If this dude is doing the animator and illustration, this is going to be the best thing since Tales from the Crypt!

The best banshee design.
best short movie ever!!!!!!!!!
This was truly spooky! Very well done!
Let me just say this a soul for a soul
no words to say it was awesome
I believe the banshee screams with compassion and empathy too. She knows but cannot share her knowledge although she states the truth each time. The fact that another young woman is hearing her but not listening to her is released in ribbons of frustration throughout her shrieking. She comes to the young wife to confirm the husband is dead; she will keen for her to begin the grieving process. But instead the banshee sees an unnatural exchange take place before her eyes. She screams in grief of her own at the end because the young wife looks like her own blood; maybe a great great granddaughter. Now the banshee has to watch another become all that she herself already is and in her last scream some lost hope shivers away.
Morgana voice acted for this. Awesome 😎
Awesome!!! Careful what you wish for.
OMG! It was fantastic I was on the edge of my chair! I wish there was more ... I want more
Absolutely fantastic and brilliant
excellent! eerie, haunting and evocative. very good work.
Could watch those dark waves rolling in all day.
Oh my! That dog thing made me so happy :D hhahah
immersive, capable of not letting someone to even move eyes aside
It's amazing. The story is similar to the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. That also had a sad ending.
Never try to reason with a banshee.
I'm here for Katie
As they say, an eye for an eye.
Now, this type of banshee is an evil fairy whose moaning cries bring nothing but bad luck. - Blarney Kilakilarney, The Leprechauns' Christmas Gold (1981)
Gorgeous. Thank you.
This was Uploaded exactly 7 years ago on December 5th and today it is December 5th
"A life for a life" very nice shorts love XD
Magnifique! 😱
the undead dog are named Gwigli if i remember well,they appear in the celtic myth.
Beautiful and sad. I love the animation especially the banshee. Very sad mood music. Such a morbid bargain for love.
Very impressive
This channel is badass.
Does anyone know what language the Banshee is speaking? I can't recognize it but I love how it sounds.
The Banshee is speaking Irish Gaelic.
Pretty fabulous.
This kind of story has been told forever in different cultures and generations,though it never gets old.
SPOILER DOWN BELOW:
I loved it. At first I didn't think any of the equivalent exchange idea,that THAT was what the Banshee had in mind,but it dawned on me when I saw the final scene. It's a tragic end,as it always is. These deals with the supernatural beings is always....well,you'll never really win in the end,they'll always spin it how they want.
You'll always have too choose your words carefully,as this woman did not. She was warned by the Banshee that she doesn't restore life,but the woman was too stubborn and started to threaten the Banshee.
In the end,nothing changed,they are still worlds apart. This is so heartbreaking :(
All the same, a fate that was justly doled. Entitlement and arrogance are ugly things, even in grief.
Impressed and enjoyable 10/10 UK
this needs to be made into a movie
I KNEW HER VOICE SOUNDED FAMILIAR
It is Katie Mcgrath's voice
WOW so good
I guess there are two morals in this story, be careful what you wish for in the dark, and don't mess with the paranormal.
wow very hard deal the movie is amazing
A life for a life what a twisted turn of events....great story!
I guess you can't trust a banshee.
Wonderful!!!
See, she succeeded she
already got what she asked for
Ah, a Banshee, one of my servants.
those dogs reminded me of those Skinned Hounds of Elderscrolls 4 Oblivion. Regardless the visuals were great and that Banshee was creepy
The cgi vids are the best!
Katie Mcgrath was he voice of those two chicks. Sole reason I pressed the like button
Awesome. Awesome short.
Bean sí na caidhp bháis. At least the bean sí (banshee to all those non Irish/Gaeilge speakers) spoke Irish/Gaeilge go maith
+Deirdre Nic T
Dia duit, may I ask if it is a current variety (if so, which dialect) or rather an old one? Go raibh maith agat :D
the end scream sounded like the wendigo from Until Dawn :o
KATIE LPM, HABLAME TODA LA VIDA!!
Everything has a price. Nature will always find a balance. A life for a life
be very very careful how you word your request to the banshee.
awesome!!!! good in every way!!!
at the credit the husband goes on the same route which his wife did(the boat is different that's why)..... omg never-ending loop
