  • [In Tribute] BURNIE: Hello, Mr. Monty Oum.

  • MONTY: Hello Burnie.

  • I was very excited about the moment my first scene showed up at a convention.

  • No one had any idea what to expect.

  • Got a full house for the RWBY panel; RTX 2014.

  • With Red vs. Blue and Rooster Teeth as a company there's a lot of things we hope to create

  • to make people happy in ways they couldn't/wouldn't expect.

  • Red,

  • white,

  • black,

  • and yellow 'cause I'm Asian. (laughing)

  • It's-it's easy to forget to sleep when you're working on something cool

  • so you just work as hard as you can and still, it's-there's never enough time so,

  • the thing you gotta learn to is essentially let go.

  • What we end up making is always larger than what we think it'll be.

  • I do believe thoroughly in giving everything you got towards whatever you're doing at the time.

  • My favourite thing this time around was sharing it with everyone else;

  • my colleagues, my friends who all worked on this project.

  • For the longest time it was just assumed we ended up here for some reasons that we don't need to think about.

  • "No." (laughing and cheering)

  • But we tend to be masters of our own fate.

  • The only thing that stops us from doing the really cool things is... time.

  • We're in a huge fan culture at the moment where everything has spawned off of something.

  • If you look at something and you intend to use it

  • you have to emulate it which means you have to understand it.

  • I've landed in a very unique place where

  • if I wanna make a costume of something, I can also make the character that it's derived from.

  • GAVIN: Monty is my favourite person. BURNIE: He's amazing.

  • MONTY: At the end of the day we're still looking at people and they need to behave like people.

  • As an animator there are things you need to notice that most people wouldn't be seeing.

  • The most important thing -- do this as often as you can -- 'watch' movies, or watch shows, or watch things!

  • Just keep your eyes open.

  • It's a lot of destiny really.

  • I mean, very few people have the luxury of doing exactly what they wanna do as their job.

  • There's never a day where I forget that.

  • Moving forward is-- I always think about what's next, so like--

  • I'm-I'm super excited to finish what we have so that I can just start working on something else.

  • [We love you, Monty.]

[In Tribute] BURNIE: Hello, Mr. Monty Oum.
