My end of year film for my animation course is an adaptation of H.P Lovecraft's "The Doom that Came to Sarnath". The storyteller is an old, decrepit, hunchbacked and raspy voiced beggar who goes from town to town, telling stories and barely getting by. The setting is inspired partially by the One thousand and one nights, and on fables and the like, though a particularly ethnic accent is not required. Though the role has a dramatic edge, over-acting would be detrimental to the atmosphere I feel, so something more subtly eerie and unsettling would be perfect.
