The Best of Monty Oum

In my previous post I specified a "Best of Monty Oum" video that I'd created in memory of the great animator/choreographer. Unfortunately, upon its initial upload, it was blocked worldwide for its RoosterTeeth content ID match (which I found completely understandable). But fortunately, that turned out to be only a temporary measure as the tribute is now publicly viewable on our YouTube channel, P3.




As stated in the previous post, Monty Oum was a big inspiration to me creatively. With his "Keep Moving Forward" mantra spreading like wildfire following his passing, I can't help but feel charged to more vigorously pursue my creative passions.

With that being said, this past week has been very eventful for me. I got to the end of the second draft of my first novel; my sister Loryn designed a new logo and banner for our channel (which can be seen here); we set up a twitch account on which we plan to start streaming regularly (click here); and last but not least, we spent a day filming a new live action short that we plan on uploading to the channel. Sadly, we couldn't finish shooting in just one day, and the frigid weather might not permit us to resume shooting for at least another week. However, what little we were able to get done is already looking rather amazing. Here's a little sneak preview:


Anyway, there are many great things to come. Around the last new year, I was looking forward and unofficially dubbed 2015 as the "Year of Awesome." Although it has gotten off to a rough start with the death of a personal hero and numerous other tragedies befalling the world, I still think this year has a shot at living up to the title. With hope, the warm, positive moments will go on to outshine the negatives. And perhaps even the negatives will go on to be seen as positives.

God bless.
