User blog:MiniDaggers/RWBY Volume 1: Chapter 1 Ruby Rose: Director's Commentary

Now before I begin I would just like to say that I am not the first one to think of making transcripts of the commentaries. However of the one's seen no one has passed the first two episodes at most. As you can tell from the title I will still be doing the transcripts of the first two episodes myself to keep them all in one location but still. I would also like to thank the RWBY Wiki user TUSF who has done the first two episodes in the and I plan on using the system he used (with suggestions and help in the comments as well, please feel free) to continue the work and hopefully complete the entire collection of commentaries. So here are a few notes from TUSF's blog from which I will follow (the only thing actually being copied as I haven't properly looked through their transcript so I could make mistakes and mishear things.

I'll add a few things at the bottom of this blog I'm sure but I would like to add one more thing here. Although I am not the biggest follower of Monty's work the things I have seen I am great fan of. Now his passing was a considerable amount of time ago and this may seem unnecessary, but as it is one of the very few instances I have actually heard his voice and considering I have only in the past said it in passing and not with any true level of sincerity, I would just like to say: May he Rest In Peace.

NOTES: 
 * Curley braces {} are for things they said, while someone else was talking (If I could hear it clear enough)
 * Horizontal Lines are markers, that mark 1 minute intervals, since the beginning of that Chapter.
 * Note that there are 10 Chapters. Each "Part 1" & "Part 2" Episode is a single Chapter.
 * The commentary is continuous, and is meant to be heard in the movie mode on the DVD.

Transcript:

Monty: Alright,

Miles: Oh... My... Goodness, you guys.

Kerry: I gotta get my chair.

Miles: It's the RWBY DVD Director's Commentary with Miles Luna,

Monty: And me, oh I'm Monty.

Kerry: I'm Kerry.

Miles: And we're the writers, creators, those dudes that made this ridiculous show with our brain juice.

Monty: You remember a year ago? I was like 'we should make an anime'.

Miles: And here we are.

Monty: That's pretty great.

Miles: Making something that resembles an anime.

Kerry: It's anime-like.

Monty: Anime-esque, resembles an anime. We have a jar of jelly beans by the way.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: Oh yes, through out this commentary we'll be eating different jelly beans, not knowing the flavours {Kerry- Shout out to jellybeans} because we live life on the edge.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry: I actually can't do this, because I have a phobia of jellybeans.

<p style="line-height:inherit;"> Miles: That's more of a reason for you - I'm going in right now hold on, I got,  ladies and gentlemen at home it's pink with yellow splotches and,

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Monty: Are you serious Kerry?

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry: I don't know man, it's just I'm worried that, it's going to be poo poo everytime.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: It's bubblegum.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry: See?

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: This sucks.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Monty: No the worst one is,

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: Bubblegum flavour sucks.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Monty: We should probably talk about the fucking movie.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry: Nah.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: How about language?

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Monty: Oh, so Jen Taylor intro.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">-

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry: Yeah.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: Oh my god, Kerry should we talk about when we recorded Jen Taylor?

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry: Yes we absolutely should. So we talked about this at the RTX panel I think?

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Monty: I had a doctor's appointment.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles and Kerry: Oh that's what that was? (Talking over each other but basically the same point, Miles said 'was that' instead of 'that's from what I could differentiate)

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry: So yeah, we didn't find that out until it was already time to make the call.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: Yeah, you should of told us that you were going to the doctor instead of telling us 'Hey, guys, tomorrow we're recording Jen Taylor. Don't worry I'll be there, you guys can be there too'. {Kerry - Emphasis on 'don't worry'} And then you didn't show.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Monty: Twice.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry: Yeah twice. Um, so yeah we get into the, you know, we're calling in from here and she's in LA. And we call in and it's like ' Oh hey, hey, so yeah we're gonna do this. Um, yes if you could just run through it, how you think you would do it,' and she did it. And... it was perfect.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: On the first take she nailed the intro.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry- Yeah, 100 percent.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: And Kerry and I, she's on like her last line. And Kerry and I look at eachother and we're like 'Dude, we have her for an hour and she got it in the first two minutes, what do we do?' So we just looked at eachother and we're like 'That was great Jen, grea, uh do it... slower.'

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry: 'Uh, do it... faster.'

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Monty: Hey look.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: Scarier...

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Monty: Look, look, look, it's Ruby.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">-

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: Hey!

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry: Heard you on the first look.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: Dude that soul is so simple.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">(Next like sec was too quiet too understand for me but there was a bit of chuckling)

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Monty: Smaller, honest soul.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: Honest soul.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry: Oh, shoutout to Junior's henchmen, from the Yang trailer {Miles- Yeah}. Oh and shoutout to Old man, in the facial hair, Patrick, voicing the Old man. Patrick our concept artist.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Monty: What about Torchwick?

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: Gray Haddock, uhh, awesome voice actor of Roman Torchwick as well as one of our editors and compositors, very talented man.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Monty: Gray has been in anime, since I was fifteen years old.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry: What flavour did you get right now?

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Monty: Oh, man why'd you have to ask? That one's gross.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: What jellybean flavour was that? Oh, funny story. So these uh, dust canisters, totally based off a wine opener  that's in my kitchen. Kerry and I were writing and I was trying to describe what, like how people would carry around dust in containers and I was like 'I mean it kinda looks like, y'know imagine this wine opener and um... actually no it's pretty much just this wine opener'.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry: 'Yeah just imagine this wine opener.' Just, let's just model this wine opener.' I think you actually gave, you brought it in {Miles- (laughing) I did) for the modeler who did it.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Monty: It was like, Dick Peppermint flavour I just had.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: Oh my god.

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Kerry: Dick Peppermint?

<p style="line-height:inherit;">Miles: I have, I have a solid, bright-orange bean and a kind of see-through orange bean...

<p style="line-height:inherit;">-

<p style="line-height:inherit;">So, the transcript isn't done yet but I'm posting this now so that I can migrate the editing to my tablet. Personal preference thing so I hope that you can be patient and if this isn't finished tonight, I will finish it fairly early tomorrow and get to work on episode two right afterwards.
