This is a trailer for an animation based on the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe. In this video I have re-imagined the setting to medieval Japan and the Samurai tradition. I have combined the poem with elements from traditional Janpanese folk tales including the story of Hannya, demon goddess.

In my version, a samurai fell in love with Hannya but murdered her in a moment of jealous rage. Now he is haunted by grief and remorse, but it is too late--- Hannya returns in the form of a raven and after a duel in the snow, the samurai is cursed to be forever trapped in the shadows of his guilt and sorrow.
