- On the anniversary of the death of H.P. Lovecraft, Drexel University and SpookySpookyShoggoths present: At The Mountains of Madness.
In the uncharted regions of the Antarctic, dark secrets slumber. An ancient horror lies hidden in the bowels of an alien city, and two unlucky explorers race unwittingly towards it. Their scientific minds intrigued, they have no way of knowing the horrors that await deep within the Mountains of Madness.
Produced by a team of student animators over a period of 9 months. www.mountainsof...

“Mankind doesn’t matter!”
Cosmic Horror in a Nutshell.
"Yes it fucking does!!!!"
Dark Fantasy in a Nutshell.
For all those wondering what Danforth saw when he looked back, consider this.
"First, there is a Mountain
Then, there is no Mountain
Then, there is."
What if the mountain IS the nameless beast?
Some even like to think that Danforth broke the fourth wall and went mad at the realization he's a fictional character whose sole point to exist is repeating the horrible experience forever to entertain the elder gods: us.
First he yes, then he no. Adam Sandler
He realized the mountain is a giant monster?
Tekeli li! Tekeli li!
Not quite the way I would envision the Elder Things' city, but that Shoggoth wasgreat. For an animated short it really captured the flavor of Lovecraft's novella.
+Erl Tyriss ; see I liked the city but thought the Shoggoth was not quit right. Good job altogether in any case.
me neither, but it's kinda hard to make structures that are described as "impossible geometry" or what it said. if I were to make it, i would probably have a lot of thin spindly structures, and things disappearing and appearing depending on where you looked at it, and stuff like that. but the animation was STILL amazing! :D
Agreed. The city was bit puny and isolated. Not enough massive bizarre spires. Slightly stilted animation but no worries.
Everything else worked reallywell I thought. Shoggoth was def great.
Paddy B it was the awesome sound work o. shoggoth that sold it for me
what did he see out the window
I love Lovecraft, but I do wonder if cosmic horror would impact the same way nowadays, would today's pessimistic worldview protect us from going crazy like most characters from his stories?
I found your comment very truthful and intersting so I'd like to quote it since I'm writing a paper on H. P. Lovecraft. Would you mind if I asked for your name so I can properly cite your words?
Yeah, is just George good enough?
poopertan It is enough George, however it would be best to have your lastname written instead.
Rigo Leyva Eh, kinda skeptical on the whole, give your last name out over the internet thing, but I guess that isnt too sensitive of information.
poopertan You don't have to if you don't want to.
Pixar meets lovecraft and friends
I love Disney and Pixar but his writing is far to complex for to dumbed down for children.
@@ggt47 More unsettling. I think even if a child could read his weird grammar and awkward dialogue they would probably have an existential crisis.
@@hamppu83 You're too old you don't count. My cousin is 9 and he plays D&D better than my 15-year-old cousin. Also regardless of age Lovecraft still has no idea how to right good dialogue and punctuation.
@@arandomzoomer4837 It can depend on the child, I have a younger nephew who's into Tolkien and also loved Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu when I introduced him to some of Lovecraft's work. Myself I'll take quite a bit of Lovecraft's dialogue over some of Tolkien's more purple prose.
@@cha5 Oof. I'm trying to read lord of the rings, it's like swimming through molasses.
It's hinted that he saw Kadath. Probably got a glimpse of some Great Ones taking a shower *shudder*
Some say it was yog sothoth... Probably just taking a leak
Isn’t it so annoying when you’re trying to have a shower and a idiotic sub creature tries to spy on you?
Richie Tozier #relatable
Maybe Cthulu was watchin' porn.
@@richietozier7091 me and the spider in the shower have a mutual understanding.
Looking really into more Lovecraft, the elder things are actually quite similar to humans(a thirst for knowledge, curiosity, pride, ect.) but instead of shaping metal to work for their desires they shaped flesh and when they shaped a sentient flesh machine to do all their work as slaves the shogoths, they eventually rebelled and drove their masters to extinction.
When I think about it, shogoths to the elder things are basically what sapient A.I would be to humans, kinda like skynet
The real horror isn't the elder things and their inhuman city, it's that they're a cautionary tale to humanity
And yet, we still have these issues today. When you have a billionaire rocket themselves into the atmosphere, yet people are starving, that's nothing but doomed hubris.
Well said, my friend ☕️
It’s also interesting that the Lovecraft gods are either apathetic or outright sadistic towards humans. Or lesser beings.
What does that say about us?
@@catherinecao4810 a small speck of dust, meaningless to them.
indeed, and that is at the base of his storytelling... his horrors are merely things we are discovering, these things are like tumors, and whaddya know, not that much later science dicovered tumors who kinda look like his most powerful gods? science is scary, we dont know what we will discover one day
@@catherinecao4810 Azathot is like cáncer
As soon as those tentacles came up that precipice, I would have shouted "RUN!" And his buddy simply whispers it.😆😆
I love horror and syfy based on and in the Antarctic.. There’s just something creepy and unsettling about it.
I love it for the isolated, beautiful setting. But I must admit that the creepy/unsettling feeling from The Thing faded for me somewhere between March of the Penguins and the Metallica concert. (Though I so would've gone!)
A magificent city of the Old Ones (convincing architecture!) and a very impressive shoggoth!
Hubert Van Calenbergh
Elder things
Not old ones
The Elder Things created the Shoggoths, and were indirectly responsible for life on earth
Heedfulconch3 I think the old ones is a pseudonym for the elder things
No
The Old Ones were a pantheon of Eldritch Entities that included "Father Dagon" and his wife "Mother Hydra" along with the underwater race of fish humanoids known as "Deep Ones". Cthulhu and his Star-Spawn and Nyarlathotep are the most prominent ones as far as my knowledge goes
The Elder Things were their own race, with no real discernible Individuals of Interest, not unlike the Mi-Go (Who would often remove a Human's brain and bring it with them back to Pluto as the Victim remains alive and aware as they travel to Pluto. Apparently this is a scientific gesture and could be considered Kind) and the Great Race of Yith (Who's minds transcend time and space, allowing them to possess any intelligent organism past, present or future to learn about that race while the victim assumes control of the Yithian's previous body and has the chance to assimilate into Yithian culture and assist in their constant historical and scientific work)
The Elder Things were actually in competition with the Old Ones' cultists - they waged war against the Star Spawn of Cthulhu and designed the Shoggoths as weapons of war against them: the Shoggoths eventually became too powerful for the Elder Things to control and turned on them - destroying the Elder Things and allowing many of their other creations to cover the globe (some of those creations being the ancestors of homo sapiens - in this universe, humanity was really just a cosmic accident resulting from a conflict between greater beings).
Hubert Van Calenbergh
That’s a review if I’ve ever heard one. “Impressive shoggoth”
Well done, guys. I think you did a fantastic job cramming one of Lovecraft's heaviest works into 8 minutes while preserving the feel of his story... it drives me nuts not knowing what Danforth saw. perfectly encompasses the "nameless horror" that is Lovecraft's style.
@PerrySport
Maybe he saw Whoopy Goldberg nude with her legs apart ....he saw in the depts of that hairy oiled Thing that swallowed his entire soul and kept him tormented for eternity in the crab infested cave .
@@magnvsmarcvs
Wat.
I've tried reading Lovecraft but have never been able to read a few pages before giving up,partly because,I am mildly dyslexic but also because,I felt his wordsmithing was not up to,the monumental task of expressing his incredible imagination. This is why I love presentations like this and respect those who have painstakingly read his books then retold the stories contained within,in a far more palatable format. Cheers!!!!
yeah lovecrafts oldish english is not friendly to dyslexics. Fun fact that is because dyslexics solely think in pictures so if they can't draw something in their head, like something they never experienced, seen, touched, heard, or interacted with, Dyslexics draw a big blank and have zero clue what the hell is going on.
@MacrossMike You also have audiobooks.
It's not just you, friend. Lovecraft was made fun of for that in his time. His word smithing is generally considered bad. But. He gave us the Cthulhu mythos which is his achievement. He wasn't the best at anything. But the Cthulhu mythos allowed for a whole genra to be created.
'SpookySpookyShoggoths' sounds like a great band name.
"Indeed there may be many gods, devils, elder God, The ancients, old ones in the end it matters not who you pray too what you should fear is which one comes to us first"
'The monsters! They're here, all over the walls!'
That young man's played too much Bloodborne, smh....
I was skeptical at first with how the characters were animated(duo to looking so similar to various children shows/cinema.)
But when they found the ancient city and walked through its ruin, I felt an uneasiness creep up my back.
And as they left in their plane, that look out the window, which drove him mad and the vision of the mountain turning had me sold!
I know its only 7+ minutes but Danforth seem to come to the conclusion that mankind is nothing compared to the ancient ones just by looking at 1 wall inscription, little more bui8ld up maybe, plus wasnt Lakes body back at the camp with the rest and it was Gedney who was missing.
You need to cut them a little slack, most cg films are limited in time, and the original story was like 140 pages. To tell you the truth I think they did a good job working with their restrictions.
Yes you are right
0:57-1:32 'Indiana Jones and the Mountains of Madness' ;-)
Oh c'mon...that certainly would have made a better movie than 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'.
It would have
THIS^^^
I personally would've just made Indy going in Russia or Transylvania if they wanted to switch from Nazis to commies, but if they wanted to bring aliens into Indiana Jones, they should've depicted them as ancient creatures that look more monstrous like the Elder Things, that barely have any tech, but the little tech there is so extraterrestrial and incomprehensible that it comes off more like magic instead of science fiction stuff.
The grey aliens and the shiny flying saucer that pops out from a Maya temple that we got instead sticked like a sore thumb.
Haha that was definitely my inspiration when I worked on that sequence
Beyond the mad the mountain lay
Maps and charts, the tale must stay.
Beneath the barren, frozen waste,
Of horror dwells the vanish race.
They seek to find the empty home
To there that found a thing it roam.
Depict a task that which to sight,
Nameless beast remain the night.
Edric L. Ha I was reading this then they said Milky Way and it ryhmed with it
Not to revive the comments section of a video made literally 3 years ago but, not gonna lie, the bit at the end with the mountain shifting into some horrible eldritch being got me.
That was scary
Danforth realised that the mountain was in fact a Shoggoth itself
"Mankind doesn't matter!" ...maybe not to the Universe... but it does to me
We're gonna become kardishev 1 in a couple of years when we finally colonise Mars
All hail Elon Musk, our lord and savior
@CheatyTycoon 2 as of 2015 we are 73% of the way to Kardishev 1
ALL HAIL IN MUSK WE TRUST
That's is the point of Cosmicism. You do not matter to the Universe. We do not matter to the Universe. Humans do not matter to the Universe. Only humans matter to humans. That's it. Nothing more. It is a call to abandon religion, nationalism, and that of whatever separate us, and unite in favor of humankind. It is the answer to any philosophy. For 'what is our purpose?' to even Nihilism itself. Anyone who claims Cosmicism is nihilistic doesn't understand Cosmicism. It is anti-nihilistic, and pro-humanist and existentialist.
Kemeticos dope comment
@@mihailazar2487 If we ever do colonize Mars, which I highly doubt, it will take centuries. Not likely to even start for several decades.
I'm quite impressed with how you illustrated the city. It's very similar to how I imagined it when reading the book. It's very difficult to put in illustration what HP Lovecraft is describing, and I greatly congratulate You and tip my hat to you for pulling it off. This is probably the best visual portrayal of one of HP Lovecraft cyclopian cities that one can get. Thank you :-)
Teke- LiLi!
TEKELI-LI! TEKELI-LI!
There is a distinct lack of that here.
@@RyunosukeHachi Pay attention. You can hear TEKELI-LI, TEKELI-LI.
I'm a sucker for stories like this.
Finally, a Lovecraft story that doesn't take 3 hrs to listen to.
The first two hours are always describing the architecture and background as-well
@@deanthephilosopher9486 ADJECTIVE PORN
Guess some people have the short attention span of a dayfly on crack combined with zero discipline and only a suggestion of intellectual curiosity.
@@deanthephilosopher9486 and a good 10 mins of penguin hatred.
@@SoullessAIMusic Well, we also never got to see the penguins, which the Elder Things deformed and mutated to become giant, blind, and serve as a form of nutrition for the Elder Things, who created this civilization.
There is much detail about the world lost in all of this. A lot of lore and horror.
7:08 Something tells me by what the window shows the side of a mountain, and how a giant horror couldn’t possibly be one.
Going by the lore, it’s probably nylarthatep. Casually waving goodbye to our poor victim in the most horrid form with a twisted smile,
First of all you butchered the fuck out of that name, "Nyarlathotep" and second no I don't believe it was. Nyarlathotep lives in Egypt "Under the Pyramids" and when he emerges from hiding it is to cause chaos in populated areas like in the Poem.
@@ALANAD011 It was a joke...
Why not, Nyarlathotep is active, he takes different forms and he seems to enjoy inflicting pain on humans.
@@ALANAD011 You forgot that Nyarlathotep does some traveling. He hung around New England for a while, making Keziah Mason (The Dreams in the Witch-House), Joseph Curwen, and Simon Orne (The Case of Charles Dexter Ward) into magical disciples, with the latter two serving Yog-Sothoth and the former remaining in his service.
Probably the best visual representation of what Lovecraft meant when he described every shifting horrors like the Shoggoth, excellent work
Things I didn’t know I need but I NEED: a full animated film of Lovecraft’s Mountains of Madness
I like the aesthetic of this production. I'd love to see Pixar hire you guys so you could all make some full length Lovecraftian features.
Of all the Lovecraftian short films I have seen, this is one of the few that truly capture Lovecraft's cosmic perspective. Well done!
I have one piece of criticism: The shoggoth shouldn't be shown so clearly. I would prefer to see only the occasional tentacle and perhaps a single very brief full-figure glimpse.
I LOVED that final glimpse of what Danforth saw out of the window. The Elder Pharos! Yog-Sothoth! The Colour out of Space! \m/
Claus Appel I was waiting for it and it still scared the ever loving shit out of me.
Talk about well handling a visual representation of "that which can not be described"
Yah
Lovecraft's true genius is the fact that he is able to create incredible terror without the aid of gore, jumpscares, or anything like that. Keeping the Shoggoth hidden would have been awesome, but it was still a really great film.
@@pancakes246 I'd argue it's quite impressive for them to be able to show that level of horror fully. But my favorite part was the high pitched shrieking that made that thing seem terrifying and alien.
Claus Appel yes the shoggoths were cool, I find it quite hard to envision some of lovecrafts scenes, I didn’t imagine them as that big, and I envisioned the shoggoth as coming up the strairs were the dead elder thing lay and came at them. I also thought the city would be a strip along the mountain range, not a unifying collection of buildings in a circle
"the spooky, spooky, shoggoths slithered up the waterspout..." (sorry couldn't resist LOL)
Deborah Capuano down came the madness anxiety and doubt🎶
Jeff Musyoka - hahaha
@@jeffmusyoka1876 Out fled the humans and the copilot's insane
And the spooky, spooky, shoggoths slithered up the spout again
Bloody good work there chaps, please keep creating these short works of art, great for a 'little' alone time with both HPLOVECRAFT and his creatures, I'm impressed
Nicely done. Wish it was longer.
Tekeli-li, Tekeli-li!
Awesome cg. You did an especially excellent job capturing the pulsating Shoggoth.
Is it just me or does he look like Nigel Thornberry?

The untold origin story
Walt Disney pictures presents wait what this is too dark to put the disney charm on
Damn
Absolutely ! This kind of graphix is to cheap for that kinf of story .
"Walt Disney Pictures presents...wait, NO! AAAAAHHHHHH"
i dont know Atlantis was dark ish
I don't know. With the way some of the live action movies are doing, I could see them doing this one day. Besides look at The Little Mermaid, just think about those poor unfortunate souls in the garden.
I loved the line "things that should not, COULD not exist."
Someone needs to give you folks millions of dollars to make this into a full-length feature ASAP
That was really damned good. This deserves more views.
"They were men, and this was their city." this video really contextualized the 4 hour audiobook for me. eldritch horror done very right
I love the similarities between all different ways people see this world. From the same book yet it’s soo captivating sometimes
I didn't know it was Lovecraft until the last line. This was great!
+Sensible Sound Thanks!
Sensible Sound seriously, it's like his 2nd most famous work
Though I don't know much more than from the games, I assumed it was related to Lovecraft as it started, but didn't know until I idly scrolled down to your line :) [The Arkham stuff's a big hint, btw]
It’s the name of the book! At the mountains of madness! And you call yourself a fan?
You didn't know AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS was LOVECRAFT? Do you know who Lovecraft even is?? This book is legendary!
With the right crew and cast, this could've been the best horror movie ever made.
That thing... that's... PERFECT! TENTACLES, EYES, BUBBLES! PERFECT! It's just like something you would see in one of the books!...
That's Lovecraft for you! Very nice! I'd love to see an animation based on a story that was inspired by this one (completely different author, btw) It's called "The House on the Borderland." I've yet to finish reading it, but it would make for a very unsettling movie.
Giger is an artist.
The color from space
I have never read any books of H.P. Lovecraft just audio books and motion comics and i am in love with this mythos and this is my first time at the mountains of madness is it any good
Lovecraft himself listed "The House on the Borderland" as one his inspirations.
William Hope Hodgson, who wrote the wonderfully dark 'Carnacki The Ghost Finder' stories, was the author of 'The House On The Borderland.'
At the Mountains of Madness, a heart warming Disney picture
Nigel Thornberry in his youth
SMASHING
If you want to make me believe they're in Antarctica, have them wear gloves and mufflers, ear flaps down on that hat, and tinted goggles against snow blindness.
Please do more. Do The Whisperer in the Darkness or Dagon
+Joe Kerr : "Dagon" could make for a great short film. :)
There is a Dagon movie. Stewart Gordon directed it.
The "Dagon" movie is not based on Lovecraft's "Dagon". It is based on "The Shadow Over Innsmouth".
Here is your Whisperer In Darkness
www.hplhs.org/mptwid.php
I want to see Shadow Out of Time.
Dagon (the movie) is a crap version of Innsmouth. It had its moments, but the protagonist is insufferable.
Re-animator was bearable, and there are good ideas in From Beyond. But they're still crap.
Stuart Gordon, for all of his enthusiasm, did crap for Lovecraft.
Carpenter did a better job at Lovecraftian with The Thing. And Mouth of Madness.
Night Gallery did Pickman's Model, but my Goo-fu can't find a full version of it. Hulu has it.
I don't think there has been a satisfactory movie of Lovecraft.
H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society's work comes closest. The have a great Call of Cthulhu.
One of my favorite Lovecraft stories. For a short, this is really well done and a great concept; I've always wanted to see a proper full-length film done on this story, even if it has to be CGI
5:25 I loved him like a son, he was like a father to me ;-;
Nice touch with the mountain warping at the end. Truly unsettling.
I like your rendition of a shoggoth. Plus the simplicity of the rendering gave a believable solidity to the story and characters.
Yes, it did give a very good taste of Lovecraft's worlds.
dude, this was AMAZING! One of the best Lovecraft interpretations I've seen on TH-cam :)
I would love to see you guys given some more funding and thechance to make a longer video. It seems obvious to me that you understand exactly how a Lovecraftian story should be translated to a visual medium.
The only suggestion I would make, and it's so minor a thing that I would hardly call it a critique, I'd that you not include a full body shot of the shoggoth, or any unspeakable element, in future endeavours. The way you did it at first was perfect: small glimpses of different parts that give indications of the thing without painting a full picture, ending with a blurred indication of the immensity and complexity of it. What I mean is this: Lovecraft doesn't do "full reveals"; he gives you pieces from which the whole must be imagined, allowing the horror that IS human imagination to take it's course.
Still, incredibly well done and faithful, while not being a total rehash. Bravo, sirs.
I love the character design lol :D William Dyer, the brave mustache-wearing pilot Indiana Jones type who's so tough he's not wearing a hat in Antarctic, and dorky Lake with his Harry Potter glasses :D it's great!
Finally, some gore and violence in an animated movie that isn’t family guy and anime.
The internet has more cursed things on it than anything Cthulhu could throw at us nowadays.
Holy shit that was awesome. Dude if I won the lottery tomorrow I'd pay you guys to make a full version of this that covered the entire book, I've been dying for a movie version of this story for years. Please do more HP Lovecraft related videos in the future.
I love the child-like animation style.
Just finished reading this, my first lovecraft story. All I have to say...is wow....
A super condensed version of the novella but extremely well done.
i found this short to be the most enjoyable cinematic experience related to Lovecraft's work that i have seen. well done on the voice acting and my hat is off to the designer as well as any and all animators. [ i believe even the surgical appearance of the dismemberment of those bodies found in the tent falls in line with the novels description. ]
that short was better then 90% of the movies out there based on H.P Lovecraft. That really encapsulated the "unknown horror". kudos guys. kudos.
This animation has portrayed the true horror of the great old ones. Which is more than can be said for any cinematic effort at a h p lovecraft story that I have ever seen.
Really enjoyed the depiction of the shoggoth here. Simple but effective.
😂 Good job. Thank you. I would love to see someone do, The Whisperer in Darkness. Thanks. Tom😊
Kelly Lee Shoggoth wants a date with Danforth. Great work guys, you captured the essence of the story quite well in 8 minutes.
I like the way an unsettled state of mind is shown by misalignment of the color channels. Subtle but intuitive.
Loved it, this is easily my favorite Lovecraft tale. If you guys are considering ideas for the future, The Colour Out of Space would be an amazing one to see.
Wow, goosebumps, yo that ending. Amazing
Excellently done. I think that's my favorite verbal presentation of the "Tekel-li!" I've heard.
What you see here is the difference between a player who fails his sanity checks and a player who manages to succeed enough of them to progress in the story.
This should have been a FULL movie.
Hey, I'm new into the Cthulu Mythos and I want to say that despite some animation model ideas, this was a pretty solid movie.
I have to give credit to the voice actors. Very convincing.The ending monolgue was quite spooky. I must know. What did the other guy saw that make his scream like a head case. Was it Cthulu?
the nameless beast
I've heard others give convincing references/evidence that it is yog-sothoth, but I prefer the mystery of not knowing exactly. To me, the unspeakable, unquantifiable fear more closely mirrors what it would be like to experience a lovecraftian being.
its a "shoggoth" a servant of the "elder things" they were created as slaves to build their cities until they rebelled and one of theme laid dormant surviving the following genocide
he supposedly saw azathoth aka the nameless beast based on what the pilot said and the world lookin like it was turning into tentacles, sounds weird but look up azathoths lore
The book never tells. And in fact it was originally just a reflection he saw, and not the actual thing (whatever that was) but even the reflection of it was enough to drive him completely insane.
It's been a while since I read it, but if I remember correctly, he saw something reflected in the clouds of ice above the mountain, that allowed him to see the entire area from a perspective it was impossible to achieve where they had been on the ground, and this "bigger picture" allowed him to grasp whatever it was in its entirety, something that no one else in the expedition had done, and was too much for him.
Wealth beyond measure, awarded to the brave and the foolhardy alike.
Cool work, a nice rendition of the story. I like the Shoggoth it fits its description well.
Most impressive. Lovecraft would be proud.
Awesome! You only missed the "disgusting" penguins Lovecraft hated :D
Well done. Please make more.
Really good depiction of a Shoggoth
Very good job on this! I would have liked to see the giant penguins but hey, this is still really good. :D
Usually, the story doesn't measure up to the animation, but this time it is the other way around.
I can believe that story can led people into madness.
Someday, somebody is going to make a really good video of an old one just like this one of the shoggoth.
miss the opening shot of the ice block?
I missed the blind penguins, and the claustrophobic atmosphere of them running in a corridor when the Shoggot chases them making that noise like a piston compressing the air... But who cares about these details! I think these are the good part of reading the book: everyone focuses on something particular. The work is really well made. I like alot the characters, the general atmosphere and the camera angles. You made a nice gift to all the Lovecraft's lovers!
So, now... Where are those damn blind penguins?
Exceptional job on the Shoggoth.
that was a pretty good shoggoth
You got a run away in terror badge? Time to earn it! - Carl Fredricksen, Up - Exclusive Upisode (2009)
The Shoggoth was always my favorite Lovecraft abomination.
Lovecraftian horror is the absolute best horror genre
Please make a full movie. This is just awesome!!!
Impressive city arquitecture and badass Shoggoth there! Very well done job
THIS NEEEDS TO BE A FULL LENGTH MOVIE ...AWESOME WORK
One of the better shoggoths I've seen, well done.
I would love to see a proper movie-length version of this!
Guillermo del thoro was supposed to make it but i think is now more interested in the call of cthullu
Having recently reread this story, this was really a complete departure from the narrative, it fails to capture the tone of the story and the relationship between the narrator and Danforth. But anybody who enjoys Lovecratian horror enough to take the time to try to bring his stories to life is fine with me. Much appreciate the contribution, that shoggoth was spot on in my humble opinion.
Not bad for 7min. Really makes me wish for a 45-60 min version.
