Elephant Man Trailer

Here's a little trailer I put together in a video editing class a few years ago. I used music by Howard Shore from his Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack: track number 13 - The Bridge of Khazad Dum - 4:45 on the time-code.

This poem was left in one of the comments for this trailer by @SwapMeetFlea -

"'Tis true my form is something odd,
But blaming me is blaming God;
Could I create myself anew
I would not fail in pleasing you."
--This is a rhyme used in Merrick's sideshow pamphlet, and which he is said to have often quoted, followed by these lines by Isaac Watts:

"If I could reach from pole to pole
Or grasp the ocean with a span,
I would be measured by the soul;
The mind's the standard of the man."
