Absolutely wonderful!! This rendition of Azathoth is truly compelling and the editing touches on the mystical experience of merging with the universe/Azathoth in the end was very well done! The narration is a bit dead-pan, but is made up for with the rest of the artistic rendering.
The little metaphors and analogies work wonders. Mentioned before Azathoth=blackhole fits his personality he consumes everything if he wants, knows all and sense all. Well i big to differ he sleeps at all, could be that he wants man to assume that he does. To be clear true evil never sleeps, never rest and its older than good. Well thats my perception of what i got from Lovecrafts work. And thanks for the compliment
Azathoth is a guy trapped in a coma after a car wreck. Nyarlathotep is his son who got a doctor named Yog-Sothoth who does crazy experiments with consciousness. Yog acted as a halfway point between consciousness and coma so that Nyarlathotep could enter his father's dreams and put his mind back together so he can wake up. This fits entirely with what we know from the source material.
A very good start, this movies touches you, but ends as a promise unkept. The dark and fearful revelation you'd expect from a Lovecraft story is missing, in the end... nothing was said really.
BTW, I would definitely recommend the edited compilation titled "The Azathoth Cycle". Personally, I want to know more about what made Azathoth go insane, and this book gives us some clues. Before the creation of this universe, he used to take the form of a clam or bivalve, with lots of tentacles or leg-like appendages protruding from his shell. He also had flute-like appendages that sprouted from the inside of his shell. These were likely the source of his creative and destructive powers.
It's too bad he didn't get to finish this novel. I remember reading it and just as I was getting into it it ended abruptly without leaving any clue of what happened next. I love the first few lines. When wonder went out of the world... has this already happened?
@hiimquinn Yog-Sothoth knows the gate and is the gate, so he'd be the doctor allowing people into Azathoth's dream. Nyarlathotep is Azathoth's messenger and "soul" which could be easily interpreted as son. And this is all just a little fun assuming that they're all regular people outside the dream.
this video is very simple, but quite amazing. i do, however, find it rather amusing that advanced graphics programs are used for the special effects, expensive ones, but the narrator used a cheap microphone to record it.: still a great video, i hope for a sequel from the author.
Yog-Sothoth exists in all places and times simultaneously, so he technically COULD be, but he is barred from the physical realm like all the outer gods.
Thanks for backing me up with your statement. Present, past, future is a dead give away Yogsothoth could exist in multiple dimensions. As for Azathoth sits on the black throne in the universe lord of everything dark and nasty, this reminds me of a worm hole for some reason, do anything he wants. What do you think
the way it starts out, it makes me think of Lovecraft's storie The Music of Erich Zann. But this video was beautifuly made. Lovely, but it didnt really have much to do with Azathoth. Yes Azathoth is described as the "idiot god", but he is like a life giver as he plays his flute. If he stops, the end of the world comes.
Azathoth is the Mad God. To my recollection (it's been awile since I last read) he has absolute powers of creation and destruction, but he is completely insane and has Nyarlathotep work for him.
I think Nyarlathotep is ultimate power, cuz is all the knowledge of universe into one being, with many avatar in many places of universe, but Yog sothot is in another dimension so is powerless in this, and Azagthot is interdimensional but is the begining and end of every universe
THe blind and dumb god, Azathoth, whose throne resides in the center of the universe. Before whom countless, shapeless beings dance. What will become of the universe if the dreaming god wakes? No one will ever know...
He was known as "Xada-Hgla" at this point, but he led a rebellion against the Elder Gods, lost the war, and was punished by having to assume his current mindless and all-consuming form, which also forms the fabric of this universe, at large. Now his own flutes are endlessly used against him to keep him an idiot. Don't we wanna know more about that story?
@hiimquinn No wonder in Lovecrafts Necronimicon good ole Azathoth is referred to as the "idiot god and those like him. In some of his works his kind is known as the idiot race giving in to lesser instinct and taking the form of animals as the great old ones used as toys. Wow Lovecraft really knew how to turn the knife in the readers mind and have good discussions about his work
@hiimquinn Hell that's why we love Lovecraft because of his harshness lol. ( i would be on the elder ones side for all that knowledge and power) We agree again Lovecraft the only horror writer ever to leave such an impression on us, truly achieved immortality cheers to Lovecraft and thumbs down to all who oppose
Good job! The story itself is incomplete, so the flow problem is understandable. However, the one big problem was the narration... the mic was terrible quality and it sounded like it was pressed right up against her lips.
Azathoth is supposed to basically be like THE God, the one that actually created the Mythos universe, despite being, yes, described as an "idiot god", since the Cthulhu Mythos is, after all, basically a universe of absurdity and meaninglessness.
@hiimquinn I don't think he is a god at all. Demi god or an alien being with what humans perceive as god power. I agree Lovecraft leaves us with a question what is the definition of god. Is it power? wisdom? or power over life and death? From prospective Azathoth is now god to me, because of that one weakness. Cannot control a simple urge that humans can control. He's more of a sentient being with power that was squandered foolishly to him

Damn! This is cool! I like it!
Great job! There should me more goood Lovecraft adaptions. But it is so hard to adapt his stuff...

Magnifique!
Read something from him as soon as possible ;o) It's more than worth it.
Thanks for backing me up with your statement. Present, past, future is a dead give away Yogsothoth could exist in multiple dimensions. As for Azathoth sits on the black throne in the universe lord of everything dark and nasty, this reminds me of a worm hole for some reason, do anything he wants. What do you think
Oh. Thanks for the information.
So this is the Origin of Azathoth.
the way it starts out, it makes me think of Lovecraft's storie The Music of Erich Zann. But this video was beautifuly made. Lovely, but it didnt really have much to do with Azathoth. Yes Azathoth is described as the "idiot god", but he is like a life giver as he plays his flute. If he stops, the end of the world comes.

wonderful graphics!! pity for the audio quality
seems like that guys used particle illusion
Also listen Azathoth Awakening on RUclips as well.
THe blind and dumb god, Azathoth, whose throne resides in the center of the universe. Before whom countless, shapeless beings dance. What will become of the universe if the dreaming god wakes? No one will ever know...
Dude you still alive? you are a important person.
Mükerrem Han this comment is almost as old as Azathoth itself...
Interesting point maybe no one made anybody. Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth just what they are beings with begining or end
He was known as "Xada-Hgla" at this point, but he led a rebellion against the Elder Gods, lost the war, and was punished by having to assume his current mindless and all-consuming form, which also forms the fabric of this universe, at large. Now his own flutes are endlessly used against him to keep him an idiot. Don't we wanna know more about that story?
Well it will be like 6 years that Im looking for this video. And I stil didnt find it.
@hiimquinn No wonder in Lovecrafts Necronimicon good ole Azathoth is referred to as the "idiot god and those like him. In some of his works his kind is known as the idiot race giving in to lesser instinct and taking the form of animals as the great old ones used as toys. Wow Lovecraft really knew how to turn the knife in the readers mind and have good discussions about his work
I think that is because she is reading...

This narration SSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS ...
audio does
Good job! The story itself is incomplete, so the flow problem is understandable.
However, the one big problem was the narration... the mic was terrible quality and it sounded like it was pressed right up against her lips.
the music is to loud. i cant hear what they are saying.
Azathoth is supposed to basically be like THE God, the one that actually created the Mythos universe, despite being, yes, described as an "idiot god", since the Cthulhu Mythos is, after all, basically a universe of absurdity and meaninglessness.
Isn't Yog-Sothoth smarter and more powerful than both of them?
The production value is amazing, but the sound of the narrator's voice destroys the ambiance.
@hiimquinn I don't think he is a god at all. Demi god or an alien being with what humans perceive as god power. I agree Lovecraft leaves us with a question what is the definition of god. Is it power? wisdom? or power over life and death? From prospective Azathoth is now god to me, because of that one weakness. Cannot control a simple urge that humans can control. He's more of a sentient being with power that was squandered foolishly to him
Is Yog-Sothoth more powerfull than Chuck Norris?
Phillips! Unbelievable mistake! :(
i couldnt understand anything she said.
Excellent film, pity about the voice-over. Apart from being expressionless I could hardly make out what she was saying.
booarf, c'est nul, y'a même pas de tentacule et de mutrailleuses à chargeur camembert! ;)
wow, pretty cool, pretty cool.
