"Winter Weathered" is the second film in my "SAURIA" Animated Series.
This film focuses on SAURIA's harsh wilderness. The drastically changing seasons, the diverse and dangerous primordial wildlife, and the hardy Saurians who call this place their home.
We follow an Arctic Saurian named Helionyx as he tries to survive the winter. After the death of his son, this nomadic hunter starts to question everything he's ever known. The very wilds he reveres and is sworn to defend has taken the last thing he had in the world.
Helionyx must not only survive some of the toughest conditions SAURIA has to offer but also his inner grief and rage as well.

    David Armsby's Sauria is such an amazing journey, I loved this movie from the very moment David sent me the initial drafts. I liked it so much that it became a big challenge to write music for it, didn't want to ruin the amazing work David did for it. I kept searching and searching for ideas and how to best communicate the emotions I felt from watching it. A movie full of beautiful empty spaces and introspection that I tried my best to convey through silence and simplicity. Thank you again David, for this amazing collaboration. The soundtrack is already live on Spotify, Bandcamp, and KZread in case anyone wants to take a listen!

    Maiasaura (not Maiasaurus, since it is a female gendered name) is named after Maia, eldest of the nymphs of Pleiades, mother of Hermes and nurse to Arcas, the son of Callisto. In Roman tradition she become even more associated with the role of nurturing mother. Hence the typical "short hand" translation of Maiasaura as "good mother lizard".

    This is simply indescribably incomparable! Beautiful graphics, rich plot... I would especially like to note that this film breaks two plot clichés that are present in all films with lizardmen. The first is that there is no friendship between reptilians and mammals, only mutual hatred. And the second is that the majority of Saurians are devoid of valor, honor and nobility. Only cold reptilian rage and cruelty. I also want to note that in the scenes with the mammoths there is a distinct “Easter egg” to “Primal”. This is the broken tusk of the female leader, and the scene near the dead calf. I definitely like this masterpiece

    I loved this so much. I loved the story, how we see a Saurian with honor and valor and no real bloodlust, and when he does feel it he feels guilt. I love how clear it is how this man lives. He takes only what he needs to survive and tries not to feel vengeance, like an animal. The religion he follows obviously values life but does not blame others for taking what they need. I love how the message of animals killing for food is so driven home. Like how the sabertooth killed the man's son because he needed to and not because he wanted to torment the man or whatever. I love how the man sees himself as sinful for killing what was not needed and atoned by taking care of the son of the sabertooth. I love how CUTE ALL THE BABIES ARE!!!! Ugh, and I have so many questions!! Like why was there a statue of a different Saurian (a pterosaur?) by the entrance of the sabertooth cave??? I can't wait for the lore video on this!!!!

    It's a simple story. It's such a simple storyline done SO WELL and executed SO BEAUTIFULLY. The saber tooth encounter from start to finish had me chilled. Those last moments with the mother was unbelievably poignant, and beautifully heartbreaking. You can hear the desperatation yet sincerity in his promise to make up to the mother, yet the true tragedy lies in the ambiguity and uncertainty of what the mother's last thoughts were before she laid still. How DeadSound keeps punching out masterpiece after masterpiece, I can't even fathom. And I want him to have triple the amount of recognition for all his hard work.

    Absolutely astounding. You had me clinging to every scene, eagerly awaiting what was going to happen next. I love how you depict the intelligence of these animals, the scarred mammoth especially. I love how you've crafted this polar Saurian and his philosophy, and you can really feel the weight of his emotions. The callbacks to Dinosauria were also beautiful nostalgia. And of course, Ivan's score accentuated every scene wonderfully.

    The immediate regret he felt after mortally wounding the smilodon was so compelling an haunting. It wasn't because he was injured or because he saw the cub, no it was because he realized his grief drove him to needlessly kill an animal just for being an animal. I also love the realization that him missing his shot earlier was because his son used to follow that up by stabbing the megaloceras, and now his new son hunts the same way. Nice parallels.
