Monty Oum

Monty Oum is creator, director, writer, animator, and a voice actor of RWBY. He currently works for Rooster Teeth Productions where he animates the popular machinima series Red vs. Blue, and has also worked on several individual fan projects, such as Dead Fantasy, although he states that his main goal is to create an original series...

As a very time efficient person, Monty doesn't waste time with anything. To save time, he has even ripped out certain keyboard keys that don't contribute to his work.

The beginning of RWBY...
The idea for a RWBY show was in Monty's head since season 9 of Red vs. Blue until one night at IHOP with Shane, Monty decided he was going to start the world right there. He decided to start on his world because, according to him, "geography determines your culture and culture determines your people" (Monty's Journal 11/7/12), so his world was created with a napkin and some ketchup. According to Monty, Burnie had told him that as long as he finished Red vs. Blue Season 10, he could do whatever he wanted. And thus he got permission to go through with RWBY. Monty has confirmed that he will be voicing a character, but nothing is known of this character as of yet.
