so if you've been on the internet for a while, maybe even enjoy video games, you've probably heard of Monty Oum.
he did the original Metroid/Halo mashup film Haloid:

and then went on to make the Dead Fantasy series, which mashed up Dead or Alive, Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts

his work got him gigs doing the combat animation for Afro Samurai and later becoming one of the lead animators for Rooster Teeth on the Red v. Blue series.
he passed away yesterday. i'm pretty sad about it. Monty seemed like a genuinely good guy with a lot of talent. he pretty much taught himself how to do 3d animation and modeling and set up great combat scenes. i was genuinely looking forward to what he would do next.
anyways, figured there'd be fans of his work here. i know he went to a few PAXes and other conventions, so i'm sure some folks here have met him. also, if you want to donate to his family, there's a link here.
