You can even mention that Miles' very first major contribution to the planning of RWBY was the story about the brother gods who created Humans. He even drove back to the office in the middle of the night to tell Monty and Kerry about it because he was too excited to sleep.

Basically, the steps toward RWBY's creation went like this:


 * Monty finished up making fight scene animations for Red vs Blue season 10 and decided he wanted to make an "anime". (It's unknown at what point he had a dream that made him wake up in the middle of the night, write down "RWBY", and go back to sleep, which later led him to try to figure out what the hell he just wrote down.)


 * Monty went to Rooster Teeth CEO Matt Hullum and asked if he could make an "anime" for Rooster Teeth. Matt told him he needed a proof of concept. Thus, Monty made the first version of the Red Trailer and showed it to Matt, and I think Burnie.


 * Matt gave him the OK to make RWBY, so Monty asked Kerry if he wanted to help him make an "anime", and Kerry said yes. They started working together and planning some stuff out, and Monty contacted Jeff to make Red Like Roses, which led to the version of the Red Trailer that we know and love.


 * Once Miles was finished with the work he needed to do for Red vs Blue and had some free time, Monty and Kerry asked Miles if he wanted to help them, and he said hell yeah.


 * Cue the three of them eating many breakfasts at IHOP where they brainstormed plans for the story and the world. This is also where Monty smudged ketchup all over a napkin to create Remnant's world map.


 * They rounded up Team RWBY's voice actresses. I know Monty went to Kara and, I think, Lindsay, and he suggested Barbara for Yang. I can't remember who brought Arryn in. They also held auditions for the character roles. Matt Hullum, for example, auditioned for Ozpin, only for Shannon to be chosen, but they decided Matt would voice someone later on.

The Nevermore broke the barrier because it caused a lot of damage to it, I assume. It sat there pecking it over and over and over again, and then it finally just flew up and then dove down and slammed into it. The breaking animation actually looked like broken glass.
