Even though this is about Death - it always makes me Glow when I watch it. The Natural Order of things (in an Ideal World). Old, and hopefully after a life much-lived, ready and willing to go, and with a loved one waiting to greet us. Very sensitive and poignant short film. Love it.
Just for those who may not know, the Crows are one of the three representations of death in Celtic mythology, the Morrighan, and Tir Nan Og is a type of Paradise. :D
in old celtic/irish Tír inna n-Óc means "Land of the Young".
...and i love this vid.lost many of my family due an accident and allways in december i must think back to this horrible day..every december i come back to watch this beautiful video..i know what she feels..this "hey" is nothing unfamiliar for me..and all the people lost beloved ones out there..
@johnadog Her grandma died and the girl didn´t want to let her go, because she was afraid of death. bUt then, death took off his cap and she saw her grandpa( who is dead too) At this point, she was able to let go of her grandma and she turned into a bird and flew away.
the name of the song is: The Slow Wait by The American Dollar, from a Memory Stream album (2008) bit that one in the video is a bit different, you can notice it while listening from 0:50. It's deeper and touches me more. Can anyone share a link to that version? I'm dying to have it...
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.
@chocolatechipbffs123 She recognizes someone on the crow, maybe her grandpa, and then she accepts it's her time. The birds are crows, known scince antiquity to be "death bearers" or messengers form The Gods.
This was beau ti ful ... didn't expect that in any way as I watched it via special edition dvd of his les discrets album just now. I actually had tears in my eyes.. that doesn't happen fast.
@Saexism I said this comment 2 Months ago, also, just because I play a game that doesn't make me a nerd, but if you know people that play the game I play that are nerds then just to let you know, I'm not a nerd. Thanks and bye.
@Rage123104 A wee lass is with her grandmother when she is taken from her (dies). The lassie goes after them, only to find that the stranger that took her grandmother was someone very dear to both of them. She lets them go, knowing they're happy now.
there is nothing permanent in this wold, from day we where born we must learn a couple of things in life..we must learn how to love,be happy, sadness, fear, courage & acceptance....
I like this animation but....I kept thinking that the girl was an idiot and pretty selfish for not seeing it till the end. I mean, come on!! The first thing the old lady did was HUG the so called 'stranger' and she didn't even remotely try to think or question that action....
Oh well, the animation was beautiful though. I just love the Crow concept. :)
@iluvbleach2009 Imagine being a child who has never know death, never lost a family member in their life. You are spending time with your grandmother, who you love very much, when all of a sudden she gets taken from you without warning. Wouldn't you be selfish and sad? This could have been the first time she lost someone, and the fact that it was someone so special is even more painful. It's natural for anyone to feel that way. We don't get to see what they see when their time comes.
@maurohardstyle Yeah I noticed that, but if you think, he may have died before the child was born. Add the fact that she probably had no idea what was going on or what the 'masked stranger' wanted.
oh they get reincarnated or something like that into crows when it's 'their time' and the father/grandfather went back to get his wife because it was her time.
truly beautiful...I like the concept of the black death being actually a love one taking you to the other world...but I wonder who was under the mask....her grandfather...or her father...
@Light14Lilium I suppose that is something to speculate. It would make sense to see that masked man as a grandfather, it was my initial interpretation. Of course, if it were her father ... that is equally valid. In the context of the Black Death, I don't think it matters too much - it was a devastating thing to experience.
Intriguing animation, with a peculiar choice for the concept of the masked man, I appreciate the use of the mask and find it heavily symbolic. It brings to mind an eerie image of the beak doctor outfit depicted in literature concerning the Black Death. All round, this is a good example of a short plot worth studying for novice animators.
@tompuceful: it's a silly, stupid joke! it didn't make me giggle until i saw how pissy it made you. really? THAT is what makes you mad at americans?! lollollol XD
@xcorsary You're right. It's beautiful. May I ask you if you ever saw an other animation named "Father and Daughter" of the Duch artist Michael Dudok de Wit? Maeby you have, but if not, I recommend it very much.
thouch a wonderful animation. I startet to cry, as i realized whats the meaning of the animation. Uts so gread and wonderful. I love things with a deep meaning. Things, whitch you had to think about it. verry gread woark=)
I love this animation, but since my Grampa passed away last year, I haven't been able to watch it without having a minor breakdown. It reminds me of my Gramma, who's been so lost without him. Aw, jeez, I'm tearing up right now just thinking about it. I gotta go.
Does anyone know the name of a short film that was about a man fishing at the end of a dock and then a creature started to come from under the dock and put a fish down the man's throat or something like that? I saw it on YouTube a few years back, and I can't remember the name. Please, can someone help?
@DorthNakotan You're such a barbarous American. You don't like it? Okay. But keep you're mouth shut. I'm not interested in you're Chuck Norris remarks. This stupid oneliners of you're culture.
@DorthNakotan What WAS behind that mask was an intellectual mind capable of constructing something greater than the overused, unintelligent, uncreative internet meme you demonstrated. It’s disgraceful to see such comments on the internet, especially when someone has put in effort to share a personal creation, as this animator did. Shame you could share little insight.
I am just trying to wrap my mind around WTF they were doing playing a grand piano outside? Did her mortgage come due or something? Don't they own a house?
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!
what does Tir Nan Og actually mean in irish gaelic? it is the name of the white horse in the beautiful film about irish travellers called into the west... i guess it means something like - returning to the other life/afterlife etc? very moving and beautiful animation, thanks for posting cheers!
@cirfia most helpful-thanks!i'm guessing it's in a positive sense,cos it partly makes me think of all the old irish folk songs which speak of ireland being a land only of the young due to the past in ire etc ie-nobody made it to old age-if i remember the lyrics correctly from spancill hill,a man descibes going back home and being shocked to find that,'the old ones were all dead and gone,the young ones torn and grey'-or maybe he aged while away lol and remembered them young-gaelic so beautiful...
@rugbyboy198127 well yeah Id like to think of it as a positive way too. Im not familiar with that song, but many of the folk songs feature similar subject matter..so yeah, Tír na nÓg= positive methinks,
i cry everytime i watch this, the message is so strong and it's beautiful.
i had so much fear of losing my grandmother when i was young that this reminds me of how hard it really is for some people, as it was for me, but when the time comes you realize it's not an ending, but a new begining <3
great video from the artistic point of view i hoped and dream that some day my only friend would come and take me away life here is beautiful but in my opinion it lakes from reason and goal the only reason and friend to me here is god
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.
@Voodoofox3 I can relate a lot to this video. When my grandmother died, I couldn't accept it. The fact that she died made me tremble and disillusional, I was in total denial she was dead and would not accept that fact. I was in fact scared to face the fact that she was dead and the woman that raised me would no longer be able to hold my hands and see me go through all the process of life; Dating a girl, prom night, college, graduation and marriage. I wanted her to see it all...RIP...
breathless..it's the most beautiful animation about death. in a wonderful way it shows, that there is nothing to be afraid of... because what is lost physically, can't be lost in a spiritual meaning
Hate to nitpick, but it's called Tír na nÓg. Land of Youth in Gaeilge.

Beautiful animation. Nice use of background (light) and atmospheric (fog) effect. It feels totally surreal and fantasy-like.

i cry everytime i watch this, the message is so strong and it's beautiful.
i had so much fear of losing my grandmother when i was young that this reminds me of how hard it really is for some people, as it was for me, but when the time comes you realize it's not an ending, but a new begining <3

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.

@Voodoofox3 I can relate a lot to this video. When my grandmother died, I couldn't accept it. The fact that she died made me tremble and disillusional, I was in total denial she was dead and would not accept that fact. I was in fact scared to face the fact that she was dead and the woman that raised me would no longer be able to hold my hands and see me go through all the process of life; Dating a girl, prom night, college, graduation and marriage. I wanted her to see it all...RIP...

97 "Don't likes"...?????
I guess that answers the question:
"How many mean-spirited cretins know where the 'Don't Like' button is located?"

breathless..it's the most beautiful animation about death. in a wonderful way it shows, that there is nothing to be afraid of... because what is lost physically, can't be lost in a spiritual meaning
