Burnie Vlog #1 | Rooster Teeth

[@Itchweed1256]

The picture of Burnie that Ashley has on her wall is totes hilarious and adorable at the same time! Thank you Burnie!

[@Holmesy87]

I love that Chris is a Head Writer when half the time he can barely talk without his brain frying xD

[@cmazzella60]

Holmesy87 He uses dicktation

[@shuriken05]

Holmesy87 he can write, no one said he can talk, lol. :P Jk you're cool Chris!

[@bluekubica5108]

As weird as this is, i've discovered the more I write (i'm getting a bachelors in writing atm), the more my mouth fails me. I think it might be a writer thing haha.

[@Konoshy]

Donna Catastrophe your brain works faster than your mouth so you are already thinking 3+ sentences ahead of what you are saying.

[@Scarx2gt]

Donna Catastrophe I'm not really a writer, but I sometimes write as a hobby. And I notice that I find it harder to speak most times because my brain thinks up the words before my mouth can articulate the words, and sometimes my ability to properly enunciate just flies off to stutter land lol. It also doesn't help that I hear everything in an English, American or an "academic Aussie" accent in my head depending on the word (I studied in Australia and now England lol ) but I'm from Malaysia, grew up speaking Manglish (basically 3+ languages mixed in with English) and now I have the weirdest accent. So it throws me off when the words don't come out how I think they should sound.

[@Calplex]

I never knew how much production went into each and every video. God DAMN!

[@KenjiTheSnek]

Calplex It's like a more organized version of a heist meeting.

[@Calplex]

lol ikr

[@Someone-oi9gv]

Except for the Achievement Hunter video's...

[@timrocks7]

Calplex I'm seriously not super surprised but actually seeing it was insane. Also... was Michael drinking a beer at like 10? I do realize that because of the cuts I have no concept of time but it's funny

[@ninjabagel01]

except the achievemtn hunter ones where they just hammer-kick desks in half. :P

[@Smug_Amber]

I was watching Rooster Teeth ever since when they only had just the few of them, now to hear that they have over 240 people there is just crazy!

[@CPD0123a]

I just started with RWBY volume 3, and to hear that there's over 240 people is just crazy! Lol! And they're such a laid back sounding company, which is probably very good. You can't do what they do, and sound like it's just work, and be successful. Sure, they could probably grind out RWBY as full 30 minute episodes week after week for years on end, but that would get tiring and everyone on both sides of the screen would just get burned out. And there's no way Achievement Hunter can have fun and do what they do if they were on a short leash, either.

[@Smug_Amber]

Exactly, that's why I hope to find a company similar to them to work in. I would try to work at Rooster Teeth, but I would need a work visa and a lot of paper work before I could

[@texmex8220]

Same I remember when it was just RvB the lets plays, and the RT shorts. Thats when I found them, pretty sure it was less than 240 but still a sizable amount of people.

[@Smug_Amber]

That was about the same time I found them too

[@jeremikanaceman1564]

Holy Damn. I'm old. I've been around since before Fails

[@yowipy]

Not gonna lie, this is honestly one of the coolest RT videos I've seen. I like the regular content and all, but I actually find the day to day of a company like this fascinating.

[@David_70719]

This is still a vibe to watch many year later Thank you and goodbye

[@itsbriannajade7710]

I haven't even started this and I already know I love it, because it's Burnie.

[@Flvtchrr]

Brianna Jade how could you not

[@DeionSpeaks]

This is more RT Life than ever. Getting a general feel for just about every branch of Roosterteeth. That's pretty cool to see.

[@flynnmanabrams]

Burnie is a national treasure in a good way not like those Nick Cage movies.

[@jsCP94]

Daniel Flynn come on, nick cage himself is a national treasure, albeit mostly in an ironic way

[@pyroverse1286]

lol thats true

[@TheRealCamTheCrazy]

@daniel Flynn FLYNN LIVES!!!

[@Ardi_0]

How dare you..Ironic? He is a legend! Cage is love, Cage is Life

[@therampage5555]

some would argue that National Treasure are Nick Cages only good movies

[@Alex-re3qm]

I always come back to these vlogs so glad they were made, Burine is my Hero!

[@jameskimpton4184]

Damn. Burnie's got the vlog game down

[@turboldsukhtumur9377]

Miss you Burnie! This vlog series was one of the best content to come out from Rooster Teeth

[@galaxyepic4gtouch]

We love you burnie! You have been such a well thought out, hard working and a big time role model to us all. We will all miss you so much!

[@trevorcoyle517]

That transition between vlogs was smooth

[@noahpettibon]

Trevor Coyle smoother than my complexion

[@pmpmpmpmpmpmpm]

Burnie and Philip DeFranco are one of the most humble CEOs here on YT.

[@oOMaWOo]

Burnie isn't the CEO anymore... But yeah, pretty much xD

[@gamertagshadow-6227]

brunie isnt the ceo anymore matt is

[@Rosey622]

Matt is the CEO, and he is the scary one >.>

[@DiabolicNick]

Patrick Mendoza burnie sold the company didn't he? Matt is the CEO now.

[@andrew10022]

not sold, not at all. He just gave it to an old friend who was a better manager. Burnie still is basically a CEO, he is the founder of RT after all

[@carbine781]

Vids like this make me miss rooster teeth so much

[@Calplex]

They have a meeting for the meeting just so they can meet at the meeting. o.O

[@CrashTest54]

Too much money

[@mrxsssaddc]

Looks like Geoff is gonna enjoy it

[@alias588]

That's why some people don't go to all their meetings. They just get caught up in the later meetings about what happened in the earlier meetings.

[@Yamato4232]

Geoff does love those meetings

[@ESPFTW]

Not quite. Work in production, you'll see how easily the small things can fall through the cracks

[@TheMadScorpyon]

Never watched these vlogs fully till after RT closed...God im gonna miss all of this

[@JohnD27018]

im so glad that they decided to put some burnie vlogs on yt :D

[@TheJRA69]

me toooooo

[@merrick2792]

Seeing all of the Austin office workers in one room together revolutionized my view of Rooster Teeth. I feel like I have a new appreciation for how much work goes into producing the colossal amount of content that the company puts out behind all of the personalities that we're used to seeing.

[@jfishxx]

This is awesome. I love vlogs. I love behind-the-scenes videos. I love Rooster Teeth. I love Burnie. So all this, combined, just, I'm so happy right now. xD

[@jfishxx]

I just wanted to add, that watching everyone get lunch was, wow, it was overwhelming. All these people have jobs because a group of guys made some funny videos with Halo in 2003 that developed a fan base and grew from there. This whole adventure has come such a long way. It's amazing. Inspiring too. Being able to see them grow into the large company they've become, and knowing that they're just continuing to grow; and create; and do such good in the world, whether that's through making people's days a little brighter with their content, or making people's days a little better with their charity work. It's just always kind of a shock to see when the company is grouped in a room. It's awesome. Also my face hurts from smiling so much. Everyone that works at RT just loves their jobs. You'd be hard-pressed to find a company with as many happy employees as Rooster Teeth.

[@TheAmpharosFreak]

jfish it's why they are special. These lovable cockbites are the dream haha. Any small business owner would love to be like Burnie and what he has accomplished with his team.

[@ShadyPossum]

it is absolutely inspiring to see this is the result (so far) of a couple of dudes playing with video games and game capture software

[@masterxl97]

Does anyone else think Miles is actually just the world's sweetest cinnamon bun that was genetically altered into human form?

[@alysondesylva]

Yes

[@thETr0LLInPuMPkin]

Masterxl MVs dude Miles was looking freaking good in this video. He's the real hipster

[@merksmirs]

Michael has always been my fave, but if Miles appeared in more videos he'd give him a run for his money. Around Extra Life I can always hardly decide. I wish the two of them made more stuff together, they're amazing.

[@javanclarke1431]

I have none of the skills required to work there could I just be a janitor 😂😂

[@boriente]

Javan Clarke seriously dude....I'd settle for being the guy who refills the coffee beans in their coffee machines

[@zegrotheobsidiangamer1234]

Yester Day I'd be a happy achievement hunter playing games with friends and I wouldn't mind editing a few videos every now and then

[@burnthisguitar]

Javan Clarke I want to be a janitor that gets discovered as a voice actress or them

[@WruceBayne]

It's actually extremely inspiring to watch these, you guys are so much more than a company, you guys are a family, seeing this really encourages me to find or create a job environment much like your own.

[@MrSush1e]

Its SO nice to see a company that treats each other like friends and family! I feel like you don't see that enough in multimedia companys

[@ZRovas117]

Oh my goodness. I would love to watch more Behind the Scenes like this. It's so amazing to see everyone working. I'd love to work for RoosterTeeth.

[@ethancrisp3491]

I love how it shows the behind the scenes of everyone working really hard and going to meetings and then cuts to Gavin wrapping Jack in those big packing bubbles

[@LEGOANDWEED]

I really wanna work for rooster teeth one day

[@RedHoodOfGotham]

Spencer Collins hell ya it would be so awesome what would you like to do there

[@LEGOANDWEED]

Noor Twitch Streams I'd like to join the live action writing team.

[@RedHoodOfGotham]

Spencer Collins nice i would like to be a writer or animator

[@LEGOANDWEED]

Noor Twitch Streams cool maybe one day I'll meet you their!

[@macmac277]

Work on your skills then! Once you think you're ready send in your resume! Its best to do more than just one skill. Its more attractive to show that you have a lot of different media skills!

[@ReplayStation]

What I find fun about RT is that most people you see are at a place where they really enjoy their work and those they work with. It's interesting to the rest of us because everyone can relate to wanting to have fulfilling work. I love behind the scenes stuff because you get to see the passion behind the projects.

[@JoLT53]

As soon as I heard that background music I was like "Is that Marshmello?" pretty cool that he allowed you guys to use it!

[@i_so_late]

the song was released on Monstercat, and that label is known for letting people use the songs released with them on youtube/twitch/whatever as long as they give credit

[@kin15chunin]

it still always amazes me how much this company has grown and developed over the years ive been watching. its crazy and it makes me so happy i have gotten the chance to watch it all happen over time.

[@ten_percent_adequate6152]

If you listen closely you can hear my crippling depression

[@MrBarcanova]

:(

[@dariensessions653]

hear*

[@averagedude6688]

Osteo porosis

[@prettyastronaut]

Hey.. that's pretty good

[@kenr9851]

Buy anime

[@JeromeTelos]

This was actually really awesome. Just seeing literally all the things that go behind every thing they dish out the studio is something I can really appreciate. So thanks Burnie for showing us this! Also that beat they used during this vlog was really awesome haha

[@tractortaylor2670]

Burnie the real MVP

[@ResumedPausing]

this makes me appreciate how far RT has come and how much work is done behind the scenes

[@mrmustard98]

I died laughing at "I told Matt to watch it with the accounting department. I think they'll really enjoy it."

[@omgitsathena]

I just realized how many Rooster Teeth shows/productions I watch and I don't know the beautiful minds behind them! I really appreciate this BTS of everyone working their asses off to get the amazing content out.

[@Reggaetonaldo]

And just to think, this company started with a couple of guys making videos on the Internet. Wonderful.

[@deathiskey1337]

Seeing this just makes me happy. Im 16 and i remember when there was only 4 people working at RT. Now more then 200. This video really puts into scale how large this compony has grown. And I love it

[@BBTHEDOD]

beautiful cut at the beginning

[@Mi1azz0]

I feel so happy to know even on a Monday with all these meetings y'all go to that everyone can have fun at work. It's a thing that not many people can get. Keep at Rooster Teeth!

[@simonchagoya6718]

As a fan it was cool seeing this vlog it was genuinely fun and entertaining to see what goes on that the community doesn't get to see, great video!😊👍🏼

[@johnylitalo8423]

after watching them tear down and set up everything i have a whole new appreciation for the broadcast crew

[@CymruJedi]

I love that they have Bruce on a big screen at the meeting

[@Renkencen]

It so interestiing how much it has grown these days. I remember back in the 56k modern era there was only like several people (the VA for the first few RvB seasons and a few others) working!

[@mrmackellar3337]

Burnie burns is hotter than the sun in the middle of July and he's gonna tell you why...

[@morgansheepman2403]

Aaron Mackellar I get it!

[@teamcybr8375]

Bernie Burns hotter than the sun in the middle of July.

[@ryannayr7881]

HE BURNS

[@mrmackellar3337]

Ryan Nayr HATE ALL YOU WANT BUT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE HIM DOWN

[@RaiderO4]

Emmy Nominated Burnie Burns*

[@scurveteamsix]

I really don't think people understand how hard you guys work to put out the content we all love and enjoy and I'm truly grateful for that. Thank you for everything you guys do to keep us laughing and keep up the good work!

[@SmigGames]

This is too cool. I can see how this became popular for sponsors.

[@mikeissenman]

Love that Alone is the background music to the vlog

[@TheRainydayvideo]

I knew the company had a lot of employees but that number is incredible. Very inspiring video!

[@the_AIsian]

Seeing how much work goes in to each video on Mondays alone makes me appreciate Rooster Teeth's content so much more, and I love a good amount of their content.

[@Aw3sumo13]

Burnie's beard looking frosty.

[@jonbod8996]

This is just really cool to see. Its great to see how large the company is now and how much they can do.

[@evandraperdigital]

This just makes me want to work at RT lol

[@d-m.n_--2]

I love the cc on this and it's translation of the super official dept heads.

[@Jay-fs2nw]

You can see burnie aged in the hair over the year, but I still think he looks great!

[@karlgookey]

I can imagine Burnie rocking the silver fox look.

[@nicholisling2657]

Jake Cotton Burnie is one of the few people who actually pull off looking more defined and sharper with age.

[@Zimited]

This new series just makes me realize and value how much work Rooster Teeth actually does.

[@raito862]

YES!! YOU GUYS CHOSE MARSHMELLO'S MUSIC!!!!

[@GroudonGo]

Woot!

[@AssassinPlays98]

Brandon Nguyen such good music love Marshmello 👍👌

[@allhailzoidberg8182]

MarshMello is love... MarshMello is life...

[@jackoghost]

it still amazing to see how far the have come, since episode 1 RvB

[@notecolt2742]

Burnie Vlog #1 AKA Marshmello - Alone (Extended Mix)

[@codboroks97]

Oh that's what the song is. I listened to it before but I could not remember the name.

[@DeltaStray]

I'm happy everyone gets to see these Vlogs now. They're honestly amazing.

[@mypal1990]

I'm curious how the accounting team functions at RT.

[@thegoodhunter6169]

Probably like Church being around Caboose

[@alias588]

Most of the annual budget goes to replacing stuff that gets broken that's in some way linked to Gavin.

[@ESPFTW]

As any accounting team does, keeping track of $$$ appropriated and spent

[@raptorjesus3894]

+Meta Nexus The shortcut to that section is Ctrl+F+U

[@gee1188]

Suicide rates in that area are very high.

[@chrisspalding5120]

I cannot understate how much I love this aspect of RT

[@silentman1547964]

More of these type videos 🤗

[@Arkatox]

If you paid attention he said he'd be doing that. And for the public, too.

[@Arkatox]

Apologies. I didn't mean to sound _that_ condescending. Hard to judge tone through text.

[@J0EMAR]

I am really glad they decided to make the Burnie Vlogs for the public. I really enjoyed them as a RT First member and I am glad a lot of people can watch these vlogs now on KZbin!

[@redrocketrider]

Is it just me or is this guy voiced by Church?

[@tjppercussion]

Samsunganer Yeah, pretty sure Church syncs his voice with whoever this guy is.

[@WRAAEEE]

Burnie plays Church , Lopez and Vic from RvB

[@minhsangphan8931]

@@WRAAEEE don’t forget about taiyang in rwby

[@toamastar]

Everyone at this company no matter what the do, whether its goofing around for a video or going to serious meetings and managing workflow, you all work so darn hard for us! Thank you for this look into your work! I really want to see more, A sponsorship is definitely needed!!

[@Sheriff-Karstonian]

Good GOD I WANNA LIVE THERE!!!! (Not literally...maybe)

[@angelicdevil44]

This was always my favorite vlog.

[@agesike629]

Where da mellogang at?

[@AtomGaming]

YEAAAAAH

[@agesike629]

Jason Christie You're words won't hurt the Mellogang. The Mellogang is strong.

[@L3gitSILV3ER]

KEEP IT MELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@nothxplsthx]

I have a newfound respect for everything that goes on at rooster teeth. I've been a fan for years now, and knew they were getting big, but it's so cool to see how big it is getting.

[@HnTr_VDH]

Super wierd to think Monstercat might be sorta tied in with RT. with Slushii making an appearance at the office and using Marshmellos song "Alone"

[@anonymouse903]

Wow, I had no idea how much work goes into everything. I'm especially in awe of how the set for the podcast isn't permanent!

[@russ_dylan]

Wow like I actually wanna subscribe to be a first member now this is dope.

[@BOOKED4PLAY]

Wish i had a friend like Miles and Kerry, love everyone from RT!!

[@AL3X2580]

Is it just the one video that's free?

[@Luukebaas]

this is the only video from the 2016 vlogs that is free, the new 2017 vlogs will be availible to everyone I think

[@legobdr]

I hope so

[@ct-7823]

+thegamescastnl will these all be posted on KZbin?

[@MrKrimson]

.... *facepalm*

[@Funilesh]

Well the title had #1 in it..So I think there'll be more... Can't say anything about the frequency of the uploads tho!

[@GreenFox1505]

I've been watching Rooster Teeth since Season1 of RvB. I have completely lost track of most of your properties about since you stopped making RT shorts. You guys have grown so much, it's amazing.

[@adrian5937]

Burnie looked younger then and looks older now

[@breadboi8747]

adrian also time

[@chriss.9398]

Sally Le Page brought up a scientific theory that a high protein diet ages you faster. Maybe he is eating a lot of meats?

[@dipgrizzly25]

Spotted the vegan.

[@chriss.9398]

Hey I am *munches on spinach leaves* totally not *eats celery stick* a vegan! I swear!

[@zapheil]

Jonathan Aguirre Technically it was a scientific hypothesis -- "scientific theory" is actually a specific term that means there's enough evidence supporting it that it can essentially be taken as fact, like germ theory, the theory of gravity, or the theory of evolution.

[@amy_rf8397]

thank you burnie and first members for letting us watch this vlog on youtube

[@mick2798]

Damn i miss burnie

[@giloguy101]

As a Television student at Falmouth university, this vlog was really something special to watch While roosterteeth has always seemed like a ton of fun to work for, seeing how much hard work and energy you guys put into making your content just inspires me to do the same for my projects. Stay awesome roosterteeth, you guys are the best

[@MateoTorrre]

Lol the background music is Alone- Marshmello

[@AssassinPlays98]

Plan B why is that 'Lol' needed Marshmello makes good music and is getting bigger as every day goes by.

[@Eorzat]

Yep, that's the end says...

[@TakingMoreChances]

It is so crazy to me how big their company has become... From watching their $50 budget viral webseries, to seeing them produce as much as they do now. Also, probably THE most quality Vlog I've seen on KZbin

[@gen-zhippie2203]

I'm so feckin GLAD WE GET TO SEE THIS WITHOUT BEING FIRST MEMBRERSSRJDHG

[@spectrulblitz8837]

It's really great to see Rooster Teeth's behind the scenes in a more industrial point of view.

[@felicitywilson4984]

Kdiiiiin!

[@felicitywilson4984]

Yeah. She.

[@Mastergamer616]

Even with all the crazy things we see with all these sorts of videos in all honesty they work really hard, and do a lot of things amd keep everything good for us. so on behalf of everyone (all of us fans) I want to thank you RoosterTeeth. for branching out. and still giving it your all. we love you and well never stop ♡

[@Rygoat]

Not sure if Barbara just naturally stands out in every room she is in or if i'm actually in love with her 0_0

[@adaa12345SixSevenEightNine]

The editing is so good with the intro animations of the shows put in. I just love it.

[@ronthomason8388]

I wonder what Rooster Teeth's profit and expenses structure looks like?

[@texmex8220]

I can guess the expendetures, paychecks, materials to build sets, replacement equipment for Gavin, updated software, and equipment. As for profits they must be raking it in lol

[@ronthomason8388]

Burnie did say there are 240 people at RoosterTeeth. Lets assume for an example that everyone gets a salary of 40K per year (obviously not but just for an example). That would be $9.6 million every year just in payroll. (Obviously it would be much higher for majority of those people probably somewhere's around $11 or $12 million). Replacement for Gavin's equipment must have a budget of $15mil at it's least.

[@chriss.9398]

I would imagine most of the profits comes from merchandise, dvd's and downloads, and memberships. Not sure if they monetize the youtube videos, with how many views I don't see why they wouldn't do that as well.

[@La_sagne]

i think they get a lot more from actual advertising in the videos than from monetizing... like the ad reads in the podcast etc.

[@chriss.9398]

TheLasagneLP I completely forgot about the advertisements. You are absolutely correct in saying that is also a huge source of their income now as well. It can be annoying to the viewer but from a business point of view its makes them a lot of money. Suddenly now I want to go buy a MVMT watch.. huh.

[@tahkio]

The music buildup and the whole feel is so perfect

[@omegasynth]

Adios amigos, adios.

[@alnitak4341]

i don't see how anyone can dislike this. This is an amazing vlog. i don't watch vlogs but i will watch yours because it has amazing editing, camera work, music. It's awesome.

[@codboroks97]

I've always wanted to work for companies like this. I just know I can't because I don't have any of the skills needed.

[@TheSteelProject]

Tholaran97 then go get the skills needed, it may not be easy but if you really want to you can do it

[@Mylament_]

Man these people work so much everyday, it's pretty amazing. Bravo Roosterteeth

[@read6281]

in the management meeting I see there's an H.R. department. I bet that guy either has the easiest or the hardest job in the world

[@SlightlyMiscalculated]

I'm so happy that other people get to watch these now! They're so awesome

[@AppleCore360]

Do you guys have meetings to plan out meetings? XD

[@bradleysmith9227]

im just saying you guys should do this more often it was so much fun seeing the entire army it takes to keep rt running at max efficiency i love you guys you always bring me joy keep it up dudes and dudettes
