User blog:Gundam Legilis/Rooster Teeth's animatiors

Hello everybody!

For those of you that don't know, the Red vs Blue episode, "Cloaks and Daggers", aired just this Monday. All I can say is that it involved the betrayal of a not-so friendly mercenary working for a third party. It also involved the return of Project Freelancer saga protagonist Agent Carolina, the star of Monty's previous RT work. Cue the ensuing fight in the episode, choreographed by Chris Dike, doing limited CGI in the season.

I want to compare Chris with Monty here. Monty polished up an impressive resume with a Stranglehold style video, Haloid(the one where Master Chief of Halo and Samus Aran of Metroid defy physics, kick ass, and fall in love as lesbians), Dead Fantasy (Final Fantasy and Dead or Alive crossover shorts). He then joined RT, animating for several seasons of Red Vs Blue, including the Project Freelancer saga (mostly Season 9 and 10), before working on RWBY. Chris made a Minecraft parody of an Animated Recap and now takes Monty's place as leading CGI animator.

That being said, the CGI in that season was not as fast or over-the-top as Monty's (as if it ever needed to be in the first place), but I must admit, it is quite smooth, and decent.

So I want to know, how far do you think that Chris stacks up to Monty? Very much? Not so much? Or in the middle?

Thoughts?
