Monty Oum (1981-2015) was an animator best known for creating the awesome anime-style web animation series RWBY and as the lead animator for Rooster Teeth's machinima series Red vs. Blue during seasons 8-10. He achieved notoriety for creating the video game crossover fan films Haloid and Dead Fantasy, which brought him to the attention of Rooster Teeth who would employ him. He was self-taught [1] who learned his techniques through observation. His works rely heavily on Rule of Cool. He passed away on February 1, 2015 at the age of 33 due to a severe allergic reaction he suffered during a routine medical procedure.

Has a video list over at GameTrailers. And a Deviant ART gallery. And a YouTube channel.
