History Creator / Montyoum

Monty Oum wass, among other things, a self-taught 3D animator[[labelnote:*]]though he prefers the term "film maker" and "one-man production crew" would be even more appropriate[[/labelnote]], whose education was entirely observational. Responsible for some of the most [[AwesomeAnimation awesome]] WebAnimation around, most of which relies on RuleOfCool.

On January 30, 2015, Monty was stricken with an unknown medical emergency and [[http://www.gofundme.com/MontyandSheena a fundraiser]] was set up to help with paying for the expenses.

He also worked briefly as a combat designer for Creator/MidwayGames and Creator/NamcoBandai (as a combat designer for the former and combat designer/animator for the latter's ''AfroSamurai'' game). His long-term goal, aside from making movies for his fans, is to make the most awesome fighting game ever. Some fans have begged for him to make a game based off ''RWBY'', [[TrollingCreator something he somewhat]] [[http://38.media.tumblr.com/b2bfc4fdb85def81a3dfc580f0638a8e/tumblr_n7ly33i5fw1sk8tsio1_1280.jpg hinted at]] before a ''RWBY'' game was confirmed at RTX 2014.

He gained early fame for ''WebAnimation/{{Haloid}}'' and ''WebAnimation/DeadFantasy'', two of his most famous works and the two that really put him on the map. He was hired by RoosterTeeth to work on never-before-done (at the time) animation for ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', for which he worked tirelessly to make Tex even more awesome than previously thought possible. After finishing up season 10 of RVB, he launched a new web-series under the name of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', something he said he's always been wanting to do since he got into animation. As the director and lead writer of RWBY, he took employees and other writers from all sections of Rooster Teeth, including fan favorites from ''Creator/AchievementHunter'', to produce the series. In between his movies, he's been working on an adaptation of [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]] for VideoGame/{{MUGEN}} and is [[http://www.montyoum.deviantart.com/journal/37412895 looking for testers.]]

* {{Workaholic}}: You didn't think that all that awesome comes into existence without hard work right? Some of the people at Rooster Teeth wonder when he finds time to sleep.
