Basically what the title says.

Dug out a little poem by H.P. Lovecraft and recorded my performance while reading it. Put it all together into a little cinematic and spiced it up with a simple 3-point lighting. Nothing more to say except that it is super duper fun to mimic my own facial expression. (:

Original poem:

The most merciful thing in the world, I think,
is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
We live on a placid island of ignorance
in the midst of black seas of infinity,
and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

The sciences, each straining in its own direction,
have hitherto harmed us little;
but some day the piecing together
of dissociated knowledge will
open up such terrifying vistas of reality,
and of our frightful position therein,
that we shall either go mad from the revelation
or flee from the light into the peace
and safety of a new dark age.
