Dead Fantasy - Gee

[@Brocknoth]

Feels like just yesterday. 10 friggin' years. Time really does fly. We miss ya Monty, RIP big guy. The animation world isn't the same without you : /

[@DahjerCanaan]

Imagine his animation skills with the tech we have right now.... R.I.P. Monty

[@PlasmicKnight]

It's sad how a video that once brought me joy and laughter, now is just a solemn reminder of a great person that passed. I miss you Monty. :(

[@user-wb1jw9xx7e]

It can still bring you joy, that was and still is his intention

[@danmoua7686]

Uhm who is Monty?

[@Bananamations]

Creator of RWBY, great action animator, died in 2015 :(

[@Venixian]

We need a mecromancer to take thw souls of the kardashians and use them to resurrect monty

[@Darkkefka]

We've lost a great and talented man. R.I.P Monty

[@67nyny]

Yes I will soorly miss Monty I loved rwby and dead fantasy and I'm gonna see if I can get a rwby weapon replica to remember Monty since my birthday is coming up on Thursday

[@mmmnah7684]

[@kai13and8]

[@Calderoh]

bonnie gavwiner Girls Generation -Gee

[@LightbladeRiulo]

Darkkefka I was hoping to see more of his works like Dead Fantasy.

[@ZeroSteel45]

I can't stop picturing Monty doing the mocap for this

[@shiroyasha8016]

+ZeroSteel45 This was so long ago he most likely keyframed everything. But even having said that, I'm sure there is a vault somewhere hidden on one of his harddrives with hundreds of gigabytes of mocap dancing post suit...

[@clarehidalgo]

I remember a long time ago he said he did all the mocap for the dancing

[@AngeliqueNade]

As he said in one of his panels one time: "Yeah. So. Who do you think did the dancing~? [demonstrates a few moves himself]"

[@nediojon749]

AngeliqueNade Monty was one hell of a dancer

[@theschalowest1263]

I can't stop picturing nine Montys dancing at the same time

[@pheenix42]

I just wonder how many folks out there discovered K-pop because of this vid?

[@tatertoter916]

+Alonzo Branson i did

[@pancudowny]

+Alonzo Branson Oh, it's K-pop? I'm not good with many foreign languages, so some tend to sound like any one of them from the given region. (Asia, African... Sometimes trouble distinguishing French from Polish or Slavic-based, or even Italian! (

[@christianpringle3822]

Me lol

[@jakehulson7635]

i can't lie i did

[@MisterX867]

+Alonzo Branson I didn't discover K-Pop because of this but I discovered Girls Generation >.>

[@Radical_Dreamers]

Monty's death is one of the only one that deeply affected me. He was one of the greatest artist ever.

[@ElicatrothTV]

Yep... never cared (still dont) for people outside of my little world I can see... but I miss Monty... His stuff he did was just too good to end.

[@DodgeWatt]

Agreed

[@Flare724]

And a good animation choreographer

[@CellHead]

I will never stop being impressed by all of Monty's early work, especially this. I love this video because it's just Monty doing whatever he wants with no need for anyone else's approval; he's just having fun!

[@ManofSteele221]

This is literally the video that got me into Girls' Generation and K-Pop as a whole and I've been addicted since. Thank you Monty Oum R.I.P

[@TheLeaf424]

the camera work is better than half the music shows gg perform on

[@el.viejo.zorro.]

I seriously don't know what to say... I'm terribly sorry, and my best wishes for his family and friends. You were an incredible man, and an inspiration for many of us, Monty, and will be deeply missed. I'm so sorry

[@damobeck1]

Ever wonder if Girl's Gen saw this? It would been interesting to know how they reacted to it...

[@gangstapuppy340]

David Mobeck Probably be salty because the girls here danced better.

[@teareaclark9328]

PurpleReptilianShitlord OMFG I DIED AT THIS xD

[@gerardmaurice515]

IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR YEARS

[@drd2005channel]

This exact video is actually what got me to looking up Kpop and other songs. While I cant understand anything they say 90% of the time they are catchy as hell. I dont regret a single bit of it. Thanks Monty for showing me something amazing.

[@Masasume1]

I can only imagine how amazing your work would look today. I really miss freaking out every time you released something new. RIP Monty.

[@DreamgirlBlue]

Man I remember this first time I saw this 😭 I really really miss Monty Oum, I was soo hyped for him to finish his Dead Fantasy series. Still one of the coolest things I've ever seen and my man was a huge Tifa fan like me. Thank you sir for giving us this fun and kick ass animation. You were the boss 🙌🏻

[@GGiangore]

Yuna = Taeyeon Kairi = Jessica Rikku = Sunny Cissnei = Tiffany Hitomi = Hyoyeon Rinoa = Yuri Ayane = Sooyoung Kasumi = Yoona Tifa = Seohyun Just thought like sharing... ahaha

[@harukamachiko8917]

Thanks,it helps me a lot

[@jettjitt]

So the one in the yellow tank top is Cissnei

[@ralph8677]

Can't help but feel that not making Yuna = Yoona was a missed opportunity.

[@nickouy8404]

Thanks! Now I can imagine the snsd members actually acting the scenes out in the actual dead fantasy..well except for Tiffany..I don’t think Cissnei was in the dead fantasy series. Feeling bad for Seohyun as Tifa though..but Yuri and Jessica are gonna rock it as Rinoa and Kairi/Namine respectively

[@TuPtammi]

I always wonder y he didn't match Yuna as Yoona, since their name is kinda similar haha.

[@decusq]

I will never forget the day Monty Oum passed, it was the first time i ever cried for someone whom i'd never known personally. I watched his videos, I saw how he pretty much saved Roosterteeth with his original show and helped Red Vs Blue. I was hoping we'd see just how far he'd go in animation, then sadly tragedy struck. I will always miss the man I never knew.

[@enti3l]

10 years later... still one of my all time favs

[@reydeem6969]

so Monty sure has a thing for animating female characters (Dead Fantasy, Haloid and RWBY)

[@Psychorror]

If you're gonna spend hundreds of hours staring at a computer screen- might as well stare at something you like.

[@reydeem6969]

oh yeah

[@curserbrandan4097]

Psychorror thats a valid good point.

[@jejeivanovsky3474]

He's like einstein in the animation world. RIP.

[@duhneez2068]

Indeed. He will be sorely missed. ;(

[@galaxy_kitten95]

Jeje Ivanovsky Did he actually died..?

[@ChaosPhoenix11]

***** Yes.

[@carrimiaowens2072]

bitch

[@Wolvenworks]

thinking more like mozart, what with both dying relatively young

[@temari1602]

So like, is it wrong to think that behind all these models is Monty dancing to mocap? So I'm just watching a bunch of Montys dancing like a girl band.

[@damobeck1]

It probably was too.

[@AbrasiveCarl]

Podcast #58 they talk to it about 39:50 seconds in.

[@kornx10]

The man puts his heart out through his work. Got to love revisiting all his vids. Since it was mocaped the models felt real enough that it can fool anybody. The small errors are so minor that it dosn't detract from the enjoyment. Talented is the least we can say about him.

[@UntrainableWizard]

1. Happy late birthday Monty. 2. I seriously can't stop watching this video... Help... Me...

[@Boskov01]

***** You...do know he died, right?

[@UntrainableWizard]

TheStarToursTraveler Yes, I know. But it was still his birthday. I can still wish him happy birthday.

[@Boskov01]

***** Okay. Just didn't want it to be a rude surprise for you.

[@joshgoudy7184]

+TheStarToursTraveler Wait..What..?

[@Boskov01]

Josh Goudy Monty died in February of this year.

[@aeon3vale4]

Who here would want a RWBY version of this? With Jaune leading in a dress.

[@imdarkorbitcrazylol]

Not gonna happen now :( god wanted a dance off with him :.(

[@grarbinan5287]

jack cain That doesn't mean it can't happen

[@aeon3vale4]

Sucks that I will be sad every time I watch this now. :(

[@Noxxender7]

It basically happened in season 2.

[@toybirdy]

[@KurisuAppaY33TY33T]

I'm so sad that the creator of RWBY and also creator of Dead Fantasy and Haloid has passed... R.I.P Monty Oum

[@LaulauGlimm]

I became a K-Pop Fan...just bcz of this Video :')

[@galaxy_kitten95]

Same with me! I was 14 at time I watched this

[@ayannaaki]

***** Me too. And here I am 4 years later! ^_^

[@BeastGirl15]

Same here! This happens to me when I was 18 years old like 3 years ago. I really cannot forget how I got into K-Pop because of this video. If it isn't for me watching Monty Oum's Dead Fantasy after watching Final Fantasy: Advent Children, my life would be boring. I have become a K-Pop fan after 3 years and thanks to Monty Oum for changing me into a K-Pop fan forever.

[@crimsonchemicals]

same here!

[@carlosgregar]

I can say the same... that was my first time listening to SNSD and now I'm a Sone!!!

[@ShadowMoonCrazyKpopFan]

Wait... Did Monty Oum like Kpop?! This is Gee by Girls Generation!!! O_O

[@miller8time8]

It most certainly is!

[@dukevandygames4856]

I mean he was Korean

[@keiman74]

10years ago when I first found this video I discovered two things: Girls Generation and Tifa in a cowgirl outfit. Both have remained indelibly in my mind ever since. Thank you Monty!

[@TheAyreHead]

RIP Monty The Hideo Kojima of RT

[@yosukueshinozaki1606]

The first time ive seen Tifa and Hitomi not killing eachother

[@sailorsaturn1060]

I keep picturing the DOA and FF guys doing this instead of the girls, and I can't stop laughing!!!!! XD

[@kuldana413]

THE MAN WAS A SAINT! TAKEN FROM US BEFORE HIS TIME! ;m; I knew Monty from Dead Fantasy and RWBY, I think I saw this ages ago. That his channel is still going, and his videos are still being seen and loved, fills me with happiness. Monty was one of the greats, and we honor him with every view ^w^

[@SquAshe]

Still here in 2024. Miss ya, Monty ;-;

[@seychellesyuri]

Can't believe as a fan of FF i never heard of this series/ channel. Rest in peace Bro.

[@IrmaGSan]

You will be missed Monty, thank you for the inspiration all these years. I met kpop because of you, I loved animation more because of you... ♡

[@HeartBreakerForever]

Been years since the last time someone has made a post. Just thought I'd make one to say that montyoum still lives on within these videos!

[@RiskPig]

This video is how I discovered Monty and his work. I needed to watch it today.

[@Cjslvdr]

It’s 2019... i’m not crying

Unfortunately YT shuts off HD after 5 yrs. this looked amazing at 1080.

[@madeinmexico47]

[@Trevurie]

It looks good back then but now as a look at it their animations are stiff compared to some of the newer animations like in MMD. I hope someone make a tribute for Monty.

[@orbit8090]

Robert Magkalas I am making one rn because I miss monty :(

[@lanihawj]

It's 2020. The stock market is down, unemployment is on the rise, cities are on lock-down and a deadly virus has traveled around the world. But this video is still a light in all of this darkness. Thank you Monty! R.I.P.

[@KiraAsakura14]

Man, I've seen other 3d models dance this, but It seems like nothing beats the original... Monty, you have become a legend.

[@Pastel_Melodies]

So I guess this is what they do when they're not fighting, they sing\dance to kpop

[@CallanElliott]

Pretty much... Although with Cloud showing up,

[@gelucarausu]

i's not a bad thing, i would like to see them having some food or taking a drink after those fights, it looks exhausting... they are unique anyway, we can't say what they need

[@Thetablepower]

13 years , I feel so old . I miss you monty.

[@SDFRiver]

It's 2021. The algorithm always brings me back here, and I'm never mad about it. Miss you, Monty.

[@Veledeen]

Has it really been nearly five years since I first saw this, and probably longer since Haloid over in GameTrailers? It's amazing, yet at the same time sad. Rest in peace, Monty. You made my teenage years all so awesome.

[@musicneedle]

2017 and still one of the best videos and choreogrphy out tgere. Rip my man, you took it to a level not a lot of creator did.

[@prettystar78]

It's so upsetting that we have lost such an amazing man. He was an inspiration to so many, and he has left behind an incredible legacy. RIP.

[@carlosfalxar]

Thanks to this video I get to know SNSD (Girls Generation) and KPOP in general... Just from one video. Thank so much Mont, I owe you so much. Fun Fact: I originally thought the song was in French. 😅

[@Stargazeer]

Monty was incredible. Not just able to animate amazing fighting. But brilliant Dance too. But then I supposed dancing and fighting aren't that different...

They don't call them martial "arts" for no reason.
