Some time ago, I auditioned for a DC/Marvel universe(s)-related project where we could either read out sample lines for existing characters in the script, or try out for another character altogether by reading lines from their respective title. Being the showboating bastard that I am, I decided to go with Doctor Doom. But not just ANY Doctor Doom - ULTIMATE Doctor Doom. The one with the chicken legs. That everyone promptly forgot about after Warren Ellis stopped writing Ultimate Fantastic Four, and then made exactly the same as regular Marvel Universe Doctor Doom. Ah well.
In any case, his monologue was so utterly mesmerising that I had to try it out and send it in as my audition. Well, auditions for that project are long over - and I still had this piece of audio floating about, so I thought: why not? Mixed in some music, some SFX and put it to images from the comic book, and I have my own little unofficial motion comic! Enjoy!
