On Knowledge Mountain

In which a boy meets a wizard and learns the secrets of the universe. Loosely based on the Allegory of the Cave, we find a village in a post-apocalyptic Earth, where humanity has reverted back to a primitive culture. One boy, Aldo, is desperate to venture into the surrounding mountains, and discover the truths of the universe.

Dedicated to Dan,
for being a friend.

Massive thanks to all those who collaborated on this project: Ehdan for the animation and Max for the music. But an extra special thanks must be extended to Sepheren for his efforts on the script. This story is nearly as old as the channel, and the reason this video took so long to produce was that I couldn't find the right words to put across the story I wanted to tell, and Sepheren helped me do just that.
