I found the information on compositing and the layering of sound fascinating. I knew on an intellectual level that animation was like that but it's a whole different thing to see a shot dissected like that.

I also found the 'unique sound for weapons' idea fascinating. I knew about the music leitmotifs, but for the sound FX to have them too was a new wrinkle that I hadn't thought of. Maybe it's a uniquely Monty thing to see the weapon as unique a character as the one wielding it.

So, what have we learnt about volume 2?

1) Ruby is going to drag a hapless RWBY on some kind of crazy comic 'last day of freedom' tour of Vale City. I'm presuming it won't be 100% comedy but it will be interesting to see what they find during their misadventure;

2) Blake is going to have a long, hard conversation with Ozpin over something ("Miss Belladonna, don't think that you are the only one in this school with something for which they feel the need to to be redeemed.");

3) We're going to see Ozpin's office;

4) It looks like Yang vs. Mercury has been confirmed.
