Its like he stopped by, dumped all these beautiful gifts right in front of us. And then vanished out of thin air. Monty is a ninja even in death! Rest In Peace dude.
And really good advice for animators! He said if you want to animate and storytell to watch as many shows as possible. It's a bit similar to hayao miyazaki's advice about having many experiences to tell better stories.
you see guys who can do the fastest songs on this machine like a pro, but only a dude with skills can actually dance and hit the right steps at the same time......awesome.
It's real, the first thing I saw after he died on a local austin news site was a racist and retarded comment so fucking disgusting I actually wanted to cry for the mans offspring
7 years and I still find myself loving this video. I love watching it and remembering how full of life Monty was. How much he enjoyed putting his all into anything he did.
Possible, but debatable steps to dancing like Monty 1. Have at least two functioning arms and legs 2. Be flexible 3. Wear good shoes 4. Play DDR a lot 5. Move more than just your feet 6. Memorize
33 years old... Too soon for anyone. You know, it's been beat into my head recently how ephemeral life truly is. I had a friend, he was about 18. His car slipped on the ice and smashed into a tree. He went into a coma, and then died. Really, at any time, it could all be over. But you shouldn't let that make you live in fear, or lose your hope, or just disregard it all and let yourself spiral downwards. Be the best you that you can be, so that if you die tomorrow, whether you had 70-some odd years, or 18,... or 33... you made them all the best years you could, for everyone around you, and the ones most important to you, and maybe others as well, have plenty of good to remember you by. Monty Oum - 6/6/1981 - 2/1/2015 And as as my father always says, it's not the birth date or date of death on that tombstone that matters, it's the dash in-between, because that dash represents the life that he lived. So everyone, when you remember this man - Monty Oum, remember him not by how he died, but by how he lived - a man with the will to make his dreams come true. A man who was never haughty over his accomplishments, and who never viewed his gifts as something that made him better than anyone else, but who loved sharing his creations with others. We will miss you Monty, but you will live forever in Red Vs. Blue, in RWBY, in all of your creations, and in the hearts of your family, friends, and fans.
I read a book where a joke was made about an angel deciding to spend some time on Earth as a human named Miles Davis. I like to think the same of Monty.
this is actually a relief for me...i thought you'd be stressing or overworking yourself too much but clearly i had nothing to worry about. seems to me you're keeping yourself in shape and havin fun XD, make more vids like this btw i love freestyle Pump it Up vids.
i think this kind of variety in what activities you do as well as what kind of videos you upload is good for all of us. keeps things fresh for your channel and makes me even more interested in what you can do. from making epic cg videos to dancing like a baws. i wanna see what else you can do.
This is awesome man. I can see your movements with not just your feet, but you also match the way your feet move by the way your hands and whole body move. A person shouldn't be good by how fast they move there feet, but how they move there body with the music. Your an inspiration. I want to do stuff like this. You should be a street Dancer.
Damn think about this shit. about 8,000 people watched this video. Let's make it 7,000 since some might be the same people watching the video. That's 7,000 people enjoying this guy dance to some crazy ass DDR. HOLY SHIT. You entertained 7,000 people for 2 minutes, you're great! Keep it up!
you know waht I just thought of? Monty when he animates the RWBY cast dancing it looks the same in how he moves so either he makes 3d models move fluently...or he's actually a 3d puppet
I was comming for dead fantasy (as many people) but i just got stuned when i read the more informations and when i saw him dance. You're f*ckin amazing Monty, i hope you're feeling better now cause its the most important. Better wait for dead fantasy than never have it. BTW you kicks asses at DDR, i hope you're gonna upload other vids. You rocks.
awesome! you're helping promote the game to another audience. dance games and arcades in general are dying in the US so it's good to get some coverage in the gaming community.
To Monty Oum, I don't know if you read these comments, but let me say I am a huge fan of your series. I know you get that a lot. I've been watching your videos since Haloid, a video I was thoroughly impressed with. I am also a fan of the Red vs. Blue series. I've been watching since the very first episode. So when I found out that Rooster teeth hired you and you were behind season 9 and 10, I freaked out like a fan girl. Please, keep up the awesome job, I'm looking forward to more of your work.
Damn....Monty is there nothing u cant do XD well besides maintain a proper diet apparently LOL Love ur that work you do and the dance movies are rocking. Wish u the best, looking forward to season 10 of RVB and the next installment of Dead Fantasy ^w^
Holy crap that game is so hard to keep up with and he does it like whatever. While looking cool and like he's actually dancing instead of just concentrating. I'm amazed O.O
Ok, as a white kid who couldn't dance to save my life, those were probably the most beast dance moves I've ever seen. Monty, is there anything you can't do better than anyone else in the world?!
My question is not why this isn't df, but why there isn't an audience at the Dave n Buster's for that masterful display of pure dancing awesomeness!?!xD
Your average person can only handle so much awesome, staring at him directly would probably make their brains explode. Either that or they're already used to him being that awesome.
I love you Monty, thank you for everything you do, also don't put your work ahead of your health, we wouldn't want to loose a god among men such as yourself...
wow like 95% the people that passed by was not interested and huge and that 1% that was interested was still huge... moral of the story get interested and loss weight... nice moves Monty, hope you show us more cool stuff like this :D
Damn, this totally beats those geeks who just clutch the bar and stamp really fast in the arcade. You'd think one of the greatest 3D animation designers would be a nothing but a laptop warrior, but no, this guy got some fucking swag!
Its like he stopped by, dumped all these beautiful gifts right in front of us. And then vanished out of thin air. Monty is a ninja even in death! Rest In Peace dude.
haha agreed
Haloid, RWBY, his dancing moves and wisdom... The man was living life two seconds at a time.
And really good advice for animators! He said if you want to animate and storytell to watch as many shows as possible. It's a bit similar to hayao miyazaki's advice about having many experiences to tell better stories.
Its always fun looking at the audience whenever someone is this good at your local shopping centre arcade.
The only guy who actually dances to ddr and makes it look fucking awesome
Dance away in heaven Monty.We'll always remember you. R.I.P.
I wonder what heaven will be with monty there
William Haumaha It will definetly have a lot more DDR in there
William Haumaha more rwby for sure
he challenges the gods on DDR every few days
Atenri Monty decided to bless the local mortals with his epic dance moves
you see guys who can do the fastest songs on this machine like a pro, but only a dude with skills can actually dance and hit the right steps at the same time......awesome.
I am ashamed that no one clapped
Do they not know that they are in the presence of a God?
What do you mean? I clapped! Thunderously!
Well they are in Texas right? I mean, let's be real, he probably got more dirty looks than anything. RIP MONTY
CommonKTD Dude... Plz no...
It's real, the first thing I saw after he died on a local austin news site was a racist and retarded comment so fucking disgusting I actually wanted to cry for the mans offspring
CommonKTD I know. Please man, I don't want to have another day that is perfect for rain
Anyone else come back here after all this time to relive these memories and good times
Rest in peace Monty. I wish I could have met you to tell you how much you inspired me. Thank you for everything you have created.
7 years and I still find myself loving this video. I love watching it and remembering how full of life Monty was. How much he enjoyed putting his all into anything he did.
Everyone's watching him, thinking to themselves. "The day I learn to do that..."
I was like "Man this guy is good", and then i saw who it was and became very sad. R.I.P Monty oum
Greatest man ever to grace an arcade. Rest in peace, Monty
He may be gone, but his dancing skill are legendary. Keep on dancing Monty wherever you are.
Possible, but debatable steps to dancing like Monty
1. Have at least two functioning arms and legs
2. Be flexible
3. Wear good shoes
4. Play DDR a lot
5. Move more than just your feet
6. Memorize
MONTY STYLE 100
Also learn to dance and have a love for flamboyant choreography.
Come back here a year later, discover this video's now in 60 fps. Even after passing, the man, the myth, the legend never fails to impress.
+Laytonaster I sincerely hope this channel stays forever.
I'm watching this and the only thought running through my mind is, "How are you doing this??? You don't have enough feet."
Man, the video that made me a fan for life.
Get well, Monty!
It so sad he be dead man
ALLUSIVE-TOMCAT Yeah man, I just saw Matt's journal entry on the RT website. My heart just sank when i saw it...
Damn, RIP Monty.

It's so much fun to watch him dance, he gets so into it!
This is still my eternal image of Monty, and I think it's pretty sick, lol
I knew this guy was an animator, had no idea he could tear it up on a pump it up machine though.
RIP Monty, keep the beat goin' up in heaven mate.
Thing is the game only detects foot taps; all of the hand movements were for fun
yep
No shit sherlock
I read a book where a joke was made about an angel deciding to spend some time on Earth as a human named Miles Davis. I like to think the same of Monty.
Everyone notice how Monty has this semi-robot dance style?
...wow...blew my mind into billions of pieces...love you Monty!
I love both RvB and Dead Fantasy, glad to hear there is even more then just the next one, Love your work :)
Watching and hearing Monty hurts my heart. Monty, you will be missed. Your contribution to our generation, no...to the world is felt. It will be seen.
To dance on machine that focus on steps, and still having your hands moving around like that, that's just awesome.
love you monty!
I hope your resting easy
HOLY SHYT YOU JUST MADE UP 1 YEAR OF WAITING FOR DEAD FANTASY FOR ME CUZ OF THIS! Upload more please!
The best part is the people in the background watching Monty
this is actually a relief for me...i thought you'd be stressing or overworking yourself too much but clearly i had nothing to worry about. seems to me you're keeping yourself in shape and havin fun XD, make more vids like this btw i love freestyle Pump it Up vids.
I just played Pump It Up some hours ago, and I couldn't find Future Funk Squad's 'Rippin' It Up'.
Sorry, I'm two years late, but the song has been removed since the XX version.
@@GalluZ XX Version, you say?
@@ianrandolph6436 yeah, also called Twenty or Double X.
i think this kind of variety in what activities you do as well as what kind of videos you upload is good for all of us. keeps things fresh for your channel and makes me even more interested in what you can do. from making epic cg videos to dancing like a baws. i wanna see what else you can do.
Monty you should put up videos like this more often, I enjoyed it. How you can dance and keep up is amazing in itself.
This is awesome man. I can see your movements with not just your feet, but you also match the way your feet move by the way your hands and whole body move. A person shouldn't be good by how fast they move there feet, but how they move there body with the music. Your an inspiration. I want to do stuff like this. You should be a street Dancer.
Everyone lost their chances to get their high scores at their own games, because they were too busy watching monty
that man could DANCE!
This is insane! I've never seen someone who actually dances while playing this. This is like a whole new level.
These are some of the best dance game routines I have ever seen, and I am a DDR enthusiast. Take more breaks, make more of these!
Its the arm movements that truly make this awesome
Damn, all of that agility and coordination. Watching this really pumps me up!
Damn think about this shit. about 8,000 people watched this video. Let's make it 7,000 since some might be the same people watching the video. That's 7,000 people enjoying this guy dance to some crazy ass DDR. HOLY SHIT. You entertained 7,000 people for 2 minutes, you're great! Keep it up!
Animator at day, DDR champion at night
He teaching angles to animate and god to dance
Hope you're shredding the Big Man at DDR up there, Monty
you know waht I just thought of?
Monty when he animates the RWBY cast dancing it looks the same in how he moves so either he makes 3d models move fluently...or he's actually a 3d puppet
Jake tongue mocap suit
he's already dead tho...so we'll never get the answer.
+Tetsuo Arakawa We already had the answer before he passed. RWBY relies on mocap a lot and he mentioned being in the mocap suit a lot on his Twitter.
Damn, man's got some serious rhythm going on. I loved how people stopped to watch too. I'm pretty envious actually, i can't dance for crap.
I wish we still had these machines around. I used to use them all the time.
Monty Oum was the kind of man that came along once in a generation. Kinda like David Bowie or Harrison Ford, y’know?
Happy 9 Years RT!!!!!!!!!!
I was comming for dead fantasy (as many people) but i just got stuned when i read the more informations and when i saw him dance. You're f*ckin amazing Monty, i hope you're feeling better now cause its the most important. Better wait for dead fantasy than never have it. BTW you kicks asses at DDR, i hope you're gonna upload other vids. You rocks.
Rest in peace sweet Prince
Delivering like a boss! Can't wait to see season 10 of RvB!
Jesus dude! I can't even begin to express how kickass you are.
there is no possible way a human being can be so awesome...
I'm just laughing at the people in the background staring at him x) You are awesome Mounty!!
awesome! you're helping promote the game to another audience. dance games and arcades in general are dying in the US so it's good to get some coverage in the gaming community.
To Monty Oum,
I don't know if you read these comments, but let me say I am a huge fan of your series. I know you get that a lot.

waiting for Monty to finish his projects is the embodiment of the phrase "good things come to those who wait"
Take your time bro. You come first. Your talent is astounding.
Damn....Monty is there nothing u cant do XD well besides maintain a proper diet apparently LOL Love ur that work you do and the dance movies are rocking. Wish u the best, looking forward to season 10 of RVB and the next installment of Dead Fantasy ^w^
Old lady pause........Sloooooowly lumber away in awe.....
so he's amazing at making this awesome series, he is one of the best animators, and he can do this.....just....wow.....nothing else to say
Boromir: One does not simple walk into Mordor.
Monty: "Why can't we just dance to get there?"
Boromir: ... Brilliant!
Holy crap that game is so hard to keep up with and he does it like whatever. While looking cool and like he's actually dancing instead of just concentrating. I'm amazed O.O
Ok, as a white kid who couldn't dance to save my life, those were probably the most beast dance moves I've ever seen. Monty, is there anything you can't do better than anyone else in the world?!
Finishes like a BOSS;
*Music ends, grabs drink* "Next, please."
hobby, the one thing every working human needs
Finishes like a BOSS;
*music ends, grabs drink* "Next, please."
I like that you decided to post this on a video of him dancing.
Monty Oum has marked his territory.
Tread lightly and know that you cannot beat his score!
I .... have no snarky response to this, it was just awesome.
I love that part of being an adult means not giving a fuck about what complete strangers think. Keep it up, Monty!
Monty you look so awesome when you dance XD makes me want to dance too!
He's better than the other people because he actually dances and not just foot tap.
I've never seen anyone actually dance to DDR. this is just too awesome
OMFG can we get a live stream or atleast more videos of this?
I literally don't want this video to finish
like a boss and the old lady at the beginning couldnt even take in the awesomeness
Monty, you rocked so hard my browser stopped responding
Kick Ass, That was the Coolest thing I've ever seen, Keep up the Dancing Monty!
My question is not why this isn't df, but why there isn't an audience at the Dave n Buster's for that masterful display of pure dancing awesomeness!?!xD
I can't be the only one amazed by this
that was awesome
Your average person can only handle so much awesome, staring at him directly would probably make their brains explode. Either that or they're already used to him being that awesome.
I love you Monty, thank you for everything you do, also don't put your work ahead of your health, we wouldn't want to loose a god among men such as yourself...
Man Monty. Good to see he gets out more now. Only working through your life must wreak havoc on your health.
Do what you gotta do man. You only have one life to live enjoy while you got it.
wow like 95% the people that passed by was not interested and huge and that 1% that was interested was still huge... moral of the story get interested and loss weight... nice moves Monty, hope you show us more cool stuff like this :D
How can my Monty possibly be this amazing?
Well, it was rumored that he did all his own mo-cap for his videos, but it's still amazing to see it.
Na, montyoum. It's cool. This doesn't have to be Dead Fantasy. These videos are like Dead Fantasy IRL. Badass.
I'm so looking forward to the dance sequence in rvb season 10
Go, MONTY!!!!! Oh My God!! That was awesome!!
Holy shit...that was amazing. I would definitely need my own machine at home to practice before i can do it in public.
May you continue to freestyle in heaven Monty.
Damn, this totally beats those geeks who just clutch the bar and stamp really fast in the arcade. You'd think one of the greatest 3D animation designers would be a nothing but a laptop warrior, but no, this guy got some fucking swag!
Holy baby Jesus... It's official I love Monty... He's a beast...
I bow to your awesomeness. I can't dance worth a damn. XD
Good to see you back monty ^_^
HOLY CRAP!!! I wish I had those motorbike racing games around here...
