...or rather dancing.

I'm getting faster. Much faster. I know understand part of adding texture and punctuating rhythm to my movies also means adding more variety to my life. Years ago when I was in better shape I made Haloid in just over 2 months. Dead Fantasy 2 was made in about 4 months. These days as I get older and gain more skill. Somehow I seem to be getting slower. And part of it is re igniting my passion for things.

My movies have always been very rhythmic. And exercising rhythm in my life adds haste to my process. In an odd way, much like dancing adding texture and beats to my work means being ok with going slower. By learning how to be faster.

What ever happened to finishing the Road Series. It seems you cant finish your own series now. This saddens me.

"The last time I fullfilled on a sequence to my intentions with little compromise or shortcomings was dead fantasy 2. That will soon change."

Dead Fantasy II is still probably the best work you've done, all considered...rivaled only by the classic Tex vs Reds and Blues in S8 and the highway sequence, but I still consider DFII top of the list.

P.S.: Obviously I expect RWBY to surpass it...
(and obviously count me still among the people waiting patiently for the ending of Dead Fantasy, one day...)

"Fact of my life. Out in public where no one knows who I am people find me creepy and weird."

Considering how lousy is the average "people", it may be a good sign.

I love Weiss and Blake's hair! You're the best Monty!

While I love the RWBY stuff and love to see more, I sure hope you can one day get back to Dead Fantasy. If you feel you can't complete it in animation, at least write up the story and let us know where you were taking it :P I so wanna know what's gonna happen from where you left off!

I decided to unfollow. I've never been a Halo fan, and I found out who you were from Dead Fantasy, but the way in which you've addressed your fans on this topic on twitter has been quite disrespectful to people that have supported you in my opinion. People were only asking because you said nothing about it and they were interested in your work.

I'm not a Halo fan either, infact I despise Halo (that overrated slow moving piece of sh!t game). Almost as much as I hate this Guireo guy who butts in every chance he gets, it's like he's here every day for the sole purpose of kissing ass.

I'm not mad, but I am frustrated. I mean, it's been what? 4 years now since the last Dead Fantasy? That is fucking patience my man. I've been waiting nearly HALF A F*CKING decade for the series to end. 1,460+ days. I started this account JUST TO get Dead Fantasy info. I've probably logged in about 500 times and NOTHING. Just Halo, Rooster Teeth BS.

I'll never forget the day I stumbled upon Dead Fantasy. I was looking for some FF videos to make an AMV from, and I got a PM on YouTube telling me to google "Dead Fantasy HD GameTrailers" Dead Fantasy 1 and 2 were already out. Dead Fantasy 3,4 and 5 were arriving 2 months later... I thought THAT was a long time to wait -_-' . I watched DF1 at least 90 times, DF2 probably 300+ times (no joke). I enjoyed the live preview videos soooo much (shiningwizard, your friend I think?) I would have been so loud in that crowd too. The reactions in that crowd were completely justified. DF 1-5 are master pieces. I was a bit irked that they were so short, but maybe I was crazy to want to see DF2 length videos lol (or longer, like I was wishing :P) :) There ARE NO Final Fantasy fans were I live. NONE. ZERO. Final Fantasy is looked at like a joke where I live. I thought I found something special. A place I can feel at home at. But alas, the DF aspect of your animating is practically dead itself. Your live audience crowd videos just have that place in my heart. As I read the comments in YouTube videos (even though I downloaded them from GAmeTrailers) I like to read them. Everyone praising you, or arguing who should have won, asking if it's a real game and where they can buy it, lol. Or speculating on who WILL win in future episodes. I realize that there are people like me around :). Think back to when you had NOTHING Mr. Oum, how frustrating was that? How many DF fans talked constantly about you, and brought you into the mainstream? What opportunity's they gave you because of the massive exposure all over the internet?

Have fun Mr. Oum, didn't meant to sound angry. I'm not interested in RvB, Rooster Teeth or even RYWB or whatever it's called either. I'm done waiting. You have serious talent, but you need to be more upfront with your fans. I may have missed your replies to whatever questions would have mirrored mine, because lately I'm losing interest in you slowly. Good luck to you in the future, I wish you NOTHING BUT the best, and giv'er as I know you always do ;) You took me on one hell of a ride, but I can no longer keep waiting. Thanks for the memories and Good Bye Monty Oum :) <3

I loved Halo 1,2, and 3, they where good games, true Reach was a peace of crap and Halo 4 wasn't as good as the others but they're good games! The only crappy ones in this world are: Call Of Duty (past 3), Gears Of War, God Of War, Assassin's Creed, and Battlefield.
