Irish Hunger Memorial: The Cardinal
Based off of the Irish Hunger Memorial in NYC.
My animatic tells the story of an immigrant who left Ireland during the potato famine. Unable to bring his wife along, he arrived at Castle Clinton in New York alone. The despair on one side of the ocean is not much less than on the other, and he dreams of flying back across the ocean to be with his beloved in Ireland. The cardinal, an American bird, is a symbol of faith in bleak times, as it's bright red color is visible even in the most barren winter.
Animation by Evan Turk
Music by Dennis James and Linda Ronstadt - "Irish Lullaby"
