Wait, did the anon mean Rooster Teeth in general, or the animators other than Monty? 'Cause Monty used closeups and high-speed fighting, too.

What makes the RWBY fight scenes great is the choreography and weapons. It's different from a lot of anime fight scenes, where you get something like...


 * Two characters are wielding swords and just keep seemingly swinging their sword at the other person's sword and maybe land a hit on the actual person every once in a while. That, and they keep running and jumping around and chasing each other.


 * A character just standing around casting spells at someone who keeps running from, dodging, and blocking the spells.


 * The characters are supposedly awesome fighters, but their strikes are literally invisible because "wow they're so fast the human eye can't even tell what's going on, so cool, this is how awesome they are, whoa"

With that third one: Although a lot of RWBY fight scenes are fast, the crew doesn't make the characters' moves be invisible for the sake of "wow they're so fast and awesome." You can actually see what they're doing.
