I encountered a lot of Studio Ghibli’s stuff along the way. Eventually I discovered anime and one of the series I watched a lot of was Dangaioh, which was a mech anime, and also Ninja Scroll. I loved Transformers, Ninja Turtles, and stuff. MO: I watched cartoons all throughout my childhood. WG: Let’s get back to traditional animation for a moment. I kept at it and trying and trying, which led me somewhere, I only started doing it seriously when I was twenty-two or so, when I realized it was something I could potentially be doing with my life. Prior to that I thought, I can’t be doing that animation is hard, even though I had been doing it a long time. I saw people making really cool things and I realized I could be doing that too. MO: I started using flash animation as early as 2006. When did you enter the Web animation phase? When you talk about the Internet, we’re dealing with about thirty years. WG: So you say you’re a self-taught animator, which is a first for me on this show when it comes to Web animation. Blue was one of my favorite shows, because it was really good. ![]() I’d been a fan of Rooster Teeth for a long time. I started getting job offers from videogame companies as well as eventually Rooster Teeth. I started making my own videos and that caught the attention of many people. I kept working on my animation skills for fourteen years or so, then the Internet came around. I remember starting off in Director which was a macromedia program from back then. I never went to college for animation, but I took whatever classes I could when I was in high school, like fundamentals of flash. I went to school like any normal kid, until I decided to drop out. I was supposed to be reading books, but instead I was drawing in books and making little fight sequences in them. I used to draw little flipbooks as far back as age seven, maybe five. MO: I’ve been interested in animation as far back as I remember. Would you mind giving me a few details about that? ![]() WG: I like asking my guests to explain more about their background, education, and interest in animation. Monty Oum (MO): My name is Monty Oum and I’m an animator for Rooster Teeth.
