At the Mountains of Madness (2016)

Un grupo de estudiantes de animación de la Drexel University se han liado la manta a la cabeza y han creado un excelente corto animado basado en el relato En las montañas de la locura de H.P. Lovecraft, podéis saber más de ellos en su web: SpookySpookyShoggoths.

¿Qué me ha parecido? Brillante, no es apto para los que no hayan leído el relato (porque va directo al grano) pero es muy evocador para los que si que lo hemos hecho, un gran trabajo que espero tenga continuidad, es esperanzador ver cómo gente con tanto talento tiene a los Mitos de Cthulhu entre sus aficiones.

At the Mountains of Madness - a dark, dead corner of the internet (mountainsofmadness.net)

During my senior year at Drexel, I was the producer, texture artist, and compositing lead for a 9-minute animated adaptation of H. P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness. I led a team of 7 talented student animators, modelers, technical artists, and compositors, and worked with over a dozen external collaborators.

At the Mountains of Madness is a psychological horror story about two explorers named Dyer and Danforth. When Dyer’s mentor Professor Lake discovers a strange creature frozen beneath an uncharted Antarctic mountain range, Dyer and Danforth fly to his research base to learn more. They arrive to find the camp destroyed, most of the crew dead, and Lake missing. Following the cryptic symbols in Lake’s notebook, they search for him in the mountains only to uncover a massive, ancient, and seemingly dead city. As they search through the sprawling tomb, they come face-to-face with with ancient horrors that challenge their perceptions of reality.
