“The Hero Path

We have not even to risk the adventure alone
for the heroes of all time have gone before us.
The labyrinth is thoroughly known ...
we have only to follow the thread of the hero path.
And where we had thought to find an abomination
we shall find a God.

And where we had thought to slay another
we shall slay ourselves.
Where we had thought to travel outwards
we shall come to the center of our own existence.
And where we had thought to be alone
we shall be with all the world.” 
― Joseph Campbell

Five Alternate Realities is a work in five parts created for electronic playback and animated video. The animation was created using Martin Hash's Animation Master. Jess Hendricks composed all of the music and created all of the animations. The music was composed and edited first in parts I through IV and then the animation was created last. Part V the animation was created first.
