Hello again friends!
It has been quite a long time, I think 2 years since my last tutorial.
It was quite harrowing to come back into my old format content but I think I managed to shake the dust off my brain and remembered enough to survive another one. Now that Rooster Teeth is officially gone, does that mean I can adopt RWBY? Eh, who cares I'll take it anyway.
Times have been hard, and discipline in my life pretty much disappeared after my badly needed step back from everything. This video, and the next are both intentionally exercises in regaining that discipline.
Historically I haven't been one for storytelling really, this is only something I've come to understand over the last couple years and I feel that I still have yet to properly implement it in one of my own movies.
The other purpose of this video is to recognize that Monty Oum was pioneered the idea of "3D Filmmaking" or "Digital Filmmaking" as being a one man band, a jack of all trades able to make his own movies with or without help. While still rare, digital filmmakers are more abundant now than they were when Monty started. So while digital filmmakers have risen and made content of much higher fidelity than Monty was able to make in his lifetime, I still believe we owe him the credit for being one of the first and the one that inspired most modern digital filmmakers, myself included, to take the chance to try it for ourselves.
i am a digital filmmaker >:D!!!
fine I'll rewatch every Monty fight scene for the 382092304289432 time
GOOD
I have looked up to Monty and his work for years. I even have `Keep moving forward` tattoo'd on me. Also, I love how much this video explains how important to show not tell even in action scenes.
We are so back
Indeed
Same with Dillon, which is why I look up to him, then I found you, and Shane. I enjoyed this thoroughly, because in the back of our minds, we all want to make something meaningful to some capacity.
RWBY needed this video 10 years ago. RWBY needed a lot of things I suppose, but not much to do about that now sadly. Good video, cheers.
This fight is far from over!
No giving up
This channel gives me hope that I will one day see amazing Monty-esque animations all across the internet. Thank you for keeping his legacy alive
dead fantasy honestly has such great examples of visual storytelling it blows me away, like how team ff fights so precisely and in tune with each other in contrast to team doa.
one moment i really like that plays with this is in dead fantasy 2 right before the building collapse, when team doa gets slayed (again) and ayane makes another move to attack. kasumi holds her back and seems to give her instructions, and ayane brushes her shoulder off in an annoyed way but still complies. and i feel like this moment conveys so much abt their personalities, their relationship and even their values, or at least enough to get you to care about and become intrigued by the dynamic there. monty was really great at implementing these kinds of small but compelling character moments.
you seem to really like this monty fella, its almost like he made a hit animation series inspired by the likes anime and action movie star jackie chan
w vid
We’re back!
I watched most of the videos about the proccess you made and holy, all of them are so great.
Currently am trying to make a 7-10 minute animation that is inspired by the storytelling in the original trailers of RWBY and so far, your videos have made the direction in which I should go so much clearer.
Few years later and your video tutorials never disappoints.
Keep up monty oum's legacy
MY GOAT HAS RETUREND
Great video and I agree 100% with the rest of it! Also good to see Monty's whole career get some spotlight as I was one of his OG fans from the Haloid days and dedicated my first self published book to him and my late mom who also helped my taste in media.
WOOO MORE TUTORIALS
I love the advice you gave here thanks a bunch!
this was great :D i loved the song at the end
Oh boy, a wild new video? Amazing!
Some of my favorite shows with no dialogue are often from Genndy Tartakovsky, Samurai Jack and Primal.
GIVE US WARRIORS DREAM OST RIGHT NOW RAGHGHHHHH (no rush but it does slap)
Thank you video
Cake is one of the best UA-camrs doing animation content
While I don't work in visual storytelling (yet) these are good things to keep in mind for just the writing process too!
I'm a relatively recent subscriber via your RWBY videos, so it was a treat to see this kind of tutorial video by you! Keep doing what you're doing, Cake Station!
I wish to become an animator someday, so this will be very helpful!
After watching the video, I'M GONNA BECOME A DIGITAL FILMMAKER!!!
Cake video what a treat
Welcome back
Loved the video @CakeStation! Can't wait for the next video man! Glad to finally hear your voice and also get some Shots of RWBY and Final Fantasy. RIP Monty Oum, May your Hard Work continue Driving the Community you so Prematurely Left Behind to Uphold the Production Standards you made and Allow others to Join said Community.
It is true that Visuals are a Part of Telling the Story, but I didn't expect it to be a Massive Part as in Massive with a Capital Giant. I've always loved watching Series like RWBY, but I dropped off after Volume 6 hoping 7 would be uploaded. Obviously, that didn't happen and I think even Crunchyroll (which is owned by SONY, Black Rock Financial and a Certain Political Party out in Beijing) got the Rights to RWBY from Rooster Teeth.
Space Engineers Community UA-cam Content Creator @CaptainJack does something similar with all of his Series in his Colony Universe and it's now to the Point where there's an Actual Fandom/Wiki for every Ship Class and Type and even the Actual Builds in-game are now being uploaded to the Steam Workshop. It may not be Digital Animation/Filmmaking, but you've still got the Visuals playing a Pretty Massive Part of the Overall story.
Let me know what you think about this and I'll catch you in your next video man!
Well said.
yeaaa new video
It's really easy, take a long catalogue of meaningful gestures, facial expression, bodylanguage, and cultural concepts and use them as intended to express those things. Just eliminate the dialogue in a scene and only detail out the emotional qualities and general intent of these things. It's the easiest thing ever unless you don't pay attention to these things. Then you have a bigger problem of being socially inept.
Yay new video
cool beans i had a clas on this

What's the name of the song at the end?
Darude: sandstorm
The one I sung over the end card is "Oh so many years" by the Everly Brothers.
2:08 I disagree as I never heard anyone discibe an action only peice a media well done mind you boring... Instead it's the opistie it's taxing like an 3 hour long rollercoster not a 3 hour long passnager jet ride.
I suppose the point is more or less the moment when the audience becomes uninterested and disengages, whether it be described as boredom or exhaustion. Perhaps a bad choice of words on my part.
