Description
Hey guys! Though this should be a happy time since I just completed another 4Koma, it is quite the opposite, as a legend in the animation world has passed away, Monty Oum of RoosterTeeth.Monty was recognised to have created the RWBY series and animated for Red Vs. Blue and most likely paved the way for animations like XRay and Vav to be created. Not only did he create, animate and inspire these series', but he did so flawlessly, his animation techniques were second to none, beautifully animating action sequences that revolutionised the comedic Red Vs. Blue into an action series without losing any comedy, creating and animating RWBY, an anime-inspired series with four amazing girls and in his earlier days, made Dead Fantasy, where the characters of Dead or Alive and Final Fantasy crossed over and battled, a great idea in theory, and made even better with Monty's brilliant animation techniques. If given enough years, he would have been an animation giant, but sadly he was taken from us
Not only was he an amazing animator, but he was also one of my inspirations to keep pounding forward. Here's to you, Monty Oum, I hope I can be half as good an animator as you one day

Really? Ever watch RoosterTeeth's Red vs Blue or RWBY? Mounty Oum was the lead animator for all the animated fight scenes in Red vs Blue while also being the director for RWBY

Gray Cast & Crew
The Future of RWBY
Hello everyone-
Given the excitement and questions that came out of PAX East over the weekend (sorry we couldn't be there!), maybe now would be a good time to talk briefly about the future of RWBY's production.
RWBY Volume 3 will indeed premiere this year. While the animation crew is hard at work on RvB13, RWBY is returning to the early stages of pre-production. Kerry and Miles are getting ready to dive into the scripts, and I'm talking to the guys about pre-viz. Meanwhile, Shane's already choreographing a new fight sequence (Argh - want to tease this matchup so much! Let's just say Yang intends to teach someone a well-deserved lesson), and our tenacious tech team is getting the production pipeline ready.
For those wondering, Monty was heavily involved in shaping the future of the world of Remnant. His story ideas will live on, and you will also be able to see some of the animation he'd begun working on for Volume 3. For some time, the team has known the direction in which the next volumes will be headed, and Rooster Teeth is committed to bringing these tales to you.
So, while it's too early to go into any further detail, be assured that the adventures of Ruby Rose and her friends will continue as planned. 'Til then, please keep sharing your writing, art and photos. They mean so much, now more than ever. They keep us going, and we love seeing them as much as we love sharing our stories with you.
Warm regards,
Gray, Kerry, and Miles
P.S. We also hear that, as we speak, AH is putting the finishing touches on "Let's Build: The Musical Motion Picture." Ask Jack about it!

"Was the project a success? Did you find what you were looking for?"
"No. . . no I did not. . . but I believe I might have come very close. I wish. . . I wish I knew. . ."
"I see. . ."
[Don't worry. You'll see me again]
"Perhaps the next time around."
"It has been an honor, Sir."
Don't say "Goodbye". I hate Goodbyes.

I had no idea before today that he helped with RvB, I just got into that series :/ this hits home now (never cared much for RWBY and havent seen the others) that was a beautiful tribute (I love how Caboose flips sh*t and Blake is all silent about the whole thing)

Keeping them in character is very important
