Ikr!!! Interesting fact Monty our incorporated some of the combat style and movement animation during the transfer to the creation of rwby. It was by far my happiest transition. Though really sad that he passed so young..
He copied so many fights from actual hongkong movies. There is so many Jackie chan moves in his bits. And a lot of moves is just stolen from all the beat em up games out there. Its nicely done but he didn't come up with it.
@@exz1tar Monty got inspiration from a TON of places, and it’s the way he put them together and used these amazing characters to give these heavily choreographed fights a life and legend of their own. He didn’t ‘steal’ anyone’s moves, he deliberately used lots of moves from lots of movies and games as an homage to how awesome they all were. The Matrix, Advent Children, Devil May Cry, Street Fighter and an endless number of other fighting games, Jackie Chan’s moves and moves of other famous martial artists, etc etc etc. Don’t act like this wasn’t insanely innovative and creative back in 2005/2006. How old were you back then? Do you actually know what you’re talking about, or are you just talking out the side of your mouth? If you’re not impressed by any of this, then you’re just deliberately being a contrarian just for the sake of sounding cool because you are low key jealous and could NEVER even make five seconds of his original videos yourself. I hope you were seated this whole time. Didn’t mean to make you to fall on your ass and look stupid or something.
What the... Accidentally search for Dead Fantasy and then this remake appear.... Hell yeah this more than awesome... After 10 years since Oum dead, I tought the legacy would be gone... I have no words... Hoping for 2nd episode will release soon... You're more than amazing... Sorry if my English is not great...
@@MrAlbinopapa He was also the lead animator in Red vs Blue and... RWBY. Which is why the fight scenes in the first few seasons of RWBY looks similar to Dead Fantasy
God please keep going on with the series please! This in itself is so beautiful, I couldn't imagine how the rest of the episodes would look. Monty Oum was ahead of his time, thank you for this!
This is incredible. After Mounty passed I was scared that a lot of his work would be canceled and forgotten. But it really just astounds me in the best way that his work is still inspiring creative works like this. Keep up the amazing work and I can’t wait to see what’s coming.
I can only add to the dogpile about how good this is. The fluidity of the animations and the expressions add so much to what was already a masterpiece of Oum's talent for choreography. If I had a nitpick it was that many of the impacts seem less intense than Monty's. But considering the amount of work that went into lovingly recreating this is just amazing. If you do indeed remake Dead Fantasy II, probably one of the best choreographed battles ever put to any kind of film, I can only bow down to your perseverance and skills. ^.^
Even after so many years had passed...WHY DO I STILL GET GOOSEBUMPS WHEN TIFA POPS OUT AND HER ARMS SHINE WITH ALL THE COLORFUL MATERIALS. Man, the feels.
I so wanted to do a breakdown of the whole battle back then, but Monty moved on to RWBY and then passed away, so the time never seemed right. Maybe now...?
This is truly a love letter, that immortalizes Monty's legacy. I'm sure he is smiling in heaven, looking at this art. You know, I would not be surprised, if you receive blessing to finish the story Monty couldn't finish.
Whoever made this first of all needs a medal. Second of all they haven’t QUITE captured the dynamics of Montys camera work but this is DAMN close. Thanks so much for this!!!
OMFG! The animation is absolutely great. Thank you man for carrying on Monty's legacy like this. I hope you guys can finish it and keep going further. MONTY WE MISS YOU!!!!!
This literally brought tears to my eyes! Thanks for honoring this epic work!! Part 2 is one of the best action sequences EVER...bar none! OF ALL TIME!! Thank you!
@@ShadowMods221 I'm not sure what that meant either. Maybe as in this was based off of Monty Oum's work. It was the late Monty that chose her. And this is just a remake. You can't exactly expect that question to be answered now that the original animator has passed away. Besides, wait till it gets to Hitomi vs Tifa. It'll be freakin' awesome. Still one of the best 1v1 fight animations out there.
Bruh I had these downloaded on my laptop for years. Monty passed away too soon. Those things, back in the day, were a thing of beauty. You put a fresh coat of paint on it. And that music.... If I was an emotional person I would be crying right now. Perfection - Classic
Please remake the rest this was amazing!!! Honestly since the series will never be finished having the episodes remade with this quality would be the only way to do the series justice I feel
I am so glad I jumped back on youtube before bed. But now im so pumped I may not sleep. Didnt think I'd see the full part the same night I discovered this channel. Amazing work, cant wait for future parts :)
Nice to see something that started as an independent project on RU-vid by one person several years ago still has a strong fanbase. Monty would be proud.
It makes me so happy to see this! I was a huge fan of Monty’s version (even cosplayed his version of Namine, which was in progress when he passed & finished shortly after), & I really hope you continue to pay homage to him by finishing the series. Thank you for making this! ❤
I'm sad I'm months behind on actually seeing this pop up, but Monty Oum caught my attention with Dead Fantasy back when I was in high school. Seeing this and everything that you're doing here just brings the biggest blast from the past in the best way possible. Thank you for honoring him with this call back, you've done a wonderful job so far and I can't wait to see more.
I randomly remembered this series after years and decided to watch it again. Seeing this remade made me feel so happy yet so sad. This is beautiful. Monty Oum was a legend. I have faith that you could finish what he started. Keep going. I’d love to see you do the other episodes! 🙏🏾
.... this is beyond great. I admire you soooooo f much because as a child i always wanted to do stuff like Monty did. And now that i see that is possible,,,, i can't express how F GREAT AND BEAUTIFUL this is ............ Cheers to you ,,, keep going with this EXCELLENT stuff ..,,,,, hope you can continue what Monty unfortunately couldn't and give us all an end of Dead Fantasy. I remember that you uploaded a progress of this episode a while ago and time after i research for your channel and i didn't find it, i thought you gave up or something,, glad you did not. this is a goooood way to start the new year !! keep going keep going !!!
thank you so much that you like it and try to find this project after all, i almost give up but thanks to sWoozie this man makes this project happen, so from now on lets see how is go..
Hey, Wanted to say thank you for working on this. Monty (and specifically Dead Fantasy) was the reason I went to school (back in 2009) for animation and why I continue to work on indie projects of my own. So thankyou. It's an incredibly faithful recreation.
I remember my uncle showing me this back when I was really small and PS2 was the bomb. Now watching this remade just brings tears of nostalgic to me. Thank you whoever you are that did this!
Omg omg omg brings back sooooo many memories!!!! It’s amazing!! Such a great thing to honor and keep the memory of him going on!!! Thank you thank you! I can’t wait for more!!!
I just came across this! I remember my dad showing me the original for the very first time when I was a young adult. I am 33 now. The way you remade this is amazing. I know it’s been three years but my heart would be so happy if you did the rest of this beautiful story that Monty started
OMG ilove this!!!!!! Thank you so much for this, i hope u get all the support u need to kepp doing this, the proyect of Mounty need to get a end. happy new year!
Words cannot express my appreciation of seeing this work! Truly amazing! Monty's dead fantasy series is an invaluable part of my youth memory. I was truly shocked by his talent and couldn't wait to see more of his work. I was so sad when I learned about his death. That was a tragedy to the whole world
First of all, this whole remake was top tier, and I just want to say that grapple kick at 3:04 was legendary. That was so creative and gave me ideas to use for myself. Honestly, after that, I want to make my own animated videos. 😂 I can't even tell you how inspiring this is as someone who's watched Monty Oum's work, RIP Monty, for so long. It's nice to see others who are just as good and unique with their work. Hopefully I'll see more?
OMG, this is the best thing ever. Monty was a genius when it came to fighting choreography. No words can express how grateful I am to you for remaking this masterpiece.
@@BeeLy1011 I've talked to this dude on the unfinished version he posted a year ago, where way more people were vocal about the questionable integrity of this project He said then he wouldn't be able to complete it without crowdfunding and someone else just said in a comment I left that he did/was/is crowdfunding this project for future episodes. Even if he didnt make anything off of this (which, eventually he could just from views alone, views of an updated version of SOMEONE ELSES work), he crowdfunded it when Monty DIDNT, and even if he doesnt crowdfund it he'll be making a name for himself as an animator for... simply redoing someone elses work a decade later That's so artistically bankrupt imo. Why not just come up with your own concept and characters or do a mash up no ones seen before, as I mentioned to him in those other videos? I understand this is out of 'respect" for monty but it's still gross loo
@@bensloan3109 I see your point but in my opinion, crowdfunding/Patreons are fine. If they were charging money to VIEW the video, then that would be scummy
So,what can i say - that was epic. Not professional reviewer's opinion - just someone who enjoyed video. Video has it ups and downs but still... Good face animations, fight scenes were mirrored from original to perfection, those mooves were not riped and tatterd but smooth( like they were real people, with muscle pain from hitting really hard and so on...). The downsides were little (that i spotted) - like some comments from below - feels like action was not fast enough.Maybe coz of new engin but it's not that important. A LOT of work were in this and it IS good and all in all i wanna say is thank you for your work. And yes - continue? Next part? Really?
Thanks, feel free to give me comments,criticize or anyting i take it, and for the speed of the animations, i notice that too, i try to make bettet as close as the original, but sometime it work sometime it don't ..
@@deadfantasyremakebyuiyahan6238 I belive the issue about the speed is a downside of the 60 fps. I guess the original was 30 or so fps. The extra fps smooth things out, maybe that's why it feels diferent for us. But still, wonderfull job.
I agree with this 100%. I wasnt sure if I was the only one to notice. It is a fantastic remake! It's nice to see the graphics updated. I would watch Monty's lower graphics fight scenes anytime, though.
i don't know how to say this. the fight is very good and clever. they're not throwing punches and kicks blindly. every character took every opening and chance they got to hit the opponent. I really love the scene when Rikku threw her opponent (idk her name) to save Yuna from falling 2:37. The opponent used her "teleportation" skill to save herself and inadvertently saved Yuna as well. That's such brilliant and unique move. I will never find that moment in other fighting games, movies or anime.
Probably the higher frame rate. Comparing the two side by side, this seems to be an extremely close remake, but higher framerates tend to remove the snappier feeling of animation done at 24fps like the original was, so if you do a straight recreation at a higher fps, it can feel slower and more floaty even if the animation is an exact replica.
Yes and no, it's the same speed recorded at a higher frame rate (probably 60). Higher frame rates shows you more frames and details to process, which makes it look slower.
I really wanted to know why Monty had Hitomi beat Tifa in that church. That honestly shouldn't have been possible and I'm assuming from later episodes that She let it happen for some important reason that unfortunately we will never find out.
@@thekazist The logic was always that Tifa has always fought with a team at her side, and her experience fighting typically involved fighting monsters, or armed combatants, whereas Hitomi excels in one on one combat, with a pretty decorated history fighting other martial artists. This is why Monty showcased Hitomi's discipline as Martial Artist after being blinded, defeating Tifa with sheer martial technique over raw power.
I changed the video quality to 480p to match the frame rate of the original video. I must say the choreography feels a lot better in 30 FPS compared to 60 FPS.
This is amazing! I never got tired of watching Monty Oums Dead Fantasy and watching this just amazes me! His work was ahead of it's time and you have done it excellent justice! Please keep it the remakes coming and I hope you can extend and build on top of the series! 🤞🏽🙏🏼
