Music for The Calamity | Cerrit's Escape

[@sargesvrge]

"In Exandria, I don’t know that your story will long be known. I don’t know who will remain to tell it. But it did happen and it did matter. And though Calamity is here, because of you, it will not be here forever." -Brennan Lee Mulligan, 6/16/2022.

"The brass ring endures" What a beautiful finale. Really well done, just like the rest. You're so damn good at capturing these moments!

Watched this, saw there was a whole playlist, watched the whole playlist, and watched this again. It's all so gorgeous. I knew you made incredible music, but the videos themselves blew me away. It's incredible how much you can see even though it's all so abstract. Cerrit's Escape in particular, when I watched it the first time, in my mind's eye I saw myself watching this sequence in a theater. It captured the cinematic vibe of Calamity so well. Thank you so much for making the whole series

Well that's one of the most beautiful things I ever experienced. I knew he'd make it out, I've seen the finale and a different animation about Cerrit's escape a million times, and yet i couldn't stop myself from laughing of joy when he broke through the darkness at 2:29 Absolutely fantastic work. My goodness.

Maybe my favorite CR fan art ever. Incredible what you can say with Impressionism

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

My goodness, that's high praise! And I agree-it was a learning process, but I was thrilled with how this medium conveyed these scenes!

[@kathimcintosh7694]

The animation is absolutely mesmerizing.

[@lyssatiny102]

Oh man. The music, the emotions… I actually got choked up at the end. What a brilliant scene to animate, and what a brilliant animation. Very, VERY well done. Goddamn 😭😭

[@jorgeag_21]

I wish this would get to any of the CR cast. Truly amazing work. I've been following you for a long time and you are very talented. Congrats!

[@rmorganslade]

This is perfection. The visuals are astounding and inspiring, and the music is precisely what would accompany such a pivotal campaign moment. Much love and congrats Hunter on the release!!

[@jellybellyfish]

Truly embraces the feeling of the determination of a husband and father racing to escape a crumbling city to get back to his wife and children. Beautiful work!

[@hacatat]

OW. This was amazing. You had me tearing up 4even though I knew it was coming.

[@Shadowfire0001]

Fantastic!

[@steventhiele9281]

Simply amazing. Thank you so much for all your hard work on this album, I've been using it in my writing already and I love it. The triumphant version of the Ring of Brass theme was incredible.

[@bethbaskett3]

Amazing, Hunter!

[@Atomicnub123]

LETS GOOOOOO thank you so much for making these beautiful songs

[@JocelynMakenna]

This is so beautiful, you're gonna make me cry again!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful art

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

Thanks for listening to/watching it!!

[@elicaelum8379]

Just found this from twitter and it's absolutely stunning. Is there any chance you will upload the versions with the voice-overs you had on twitter here on youtube? Either way this is absolutely incredible. You deserve so many views and so much attention for this

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

Not to any of the streaming services, but I may upload all of the "animatics" to KZbin. Not sure yet!

[@JustMe-um8zp]

The Brass Ring endures indeed.

[@akashchakraborty4083]

Glad to see that this mini series is as impactful as I felt that it was. May I ask why you decided to do Calamity in particular?

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

The simplest answer is that it gripped me wholly! But it was also very cinematic in nature, and, being only 4 episodes, the storytelling was really punchy and concise. The themes and story arc was "easy" to capture in a sense.

[@akashchakraborty4083]

@@hunterrogersonmusic I completely understand what you mean. I use THIS as my go-to series to introduce people to DnD. Thanks for sharing!! Your work makes it all feel a little more alive, a little more whole. Great job on the animation and music

[@nostalgia_junkie]

how'd you animate this? very very cool

[@hunterrogersonmusic]

it's all animated in Blender using some really complicated shaders (Live Paint Filter by Tradigital) to emulate the paint effect!

[@nostalgia_junkie]

💀 i *just* found it a little bit ago lol, thank you anyways. i downloaded blender on an old laptop ages ago, might have to actually learn it now.
