Haloid
The Halo/Metroid mash-up that put Monty Oum on the map.

The vide was originally hosted on GameTrailers, though the website has since been taken offline.


 * An original Haloid post by Oum. The post contains an extensive "rant" by Oum discussing the creation of Haloid (dates back to February 2007), artistic choices, nitpicks, thanks, inspirations, etc.


 * While the video cannot be played, here you can find the site where Oum hosted Haloid. The description reads: "Watch the most exciting video on the internet now in high resolution!".


 * Possibly the original video, uploaded in 2007 and limited to 360p resolution. Description reads: "Super video. It's rocks!!! Master Chief VS Samus Aran".


 * Version that appears to be in higher-definition quality. Relationship to Oum / original Haloid is unknown.

Making of Haloid
A three-part series that appears to have been originally hosted on GameTrailers, re-uploaded to YouTube.


 * "This is the amazing master Mounty Oum, the creater of haloid and dead fantasy videos. He shows us some mistakes, and some things he got away with."
 * "This is part 2 of the Making of haloid trilogy. Monty shows us some more of his tricks."
 * "Ok, this is the last vid in this trilogy, hope you enjoy it."

Unofficial

 * This video was from August last year (2009), finally uploaded it now. Basically, we're friends with Monty Oum and while he was here in California. We had a birthday party for a friend and we decided to watch Dead Fantasy just for fun. Monty was totally up for it because he wanted to talk about his videos.


 * Snippet of a preview. Description reads: "Here's a PARTIAL clip from the short preview Monty Oum provided us at the panel he did at A-Kon 22. There was A LOT more than this, trust me! Forgive the quality--my camera is really bad. My camera also ran out of memory and cut off right before a brand new character was revealed. Can you guess who it is? ;) And no, I'm not going to spoil it and say who it is. All I will say is that the reveal was BEYOND EPIC! It certainly took me by surprise!"


 * Another snippet of a preview. "Dead Fantasy belongs to Monty Oum. Here's his channel--WATCH EVERYTHING: http://www.youtube.com/user/montyoum Here's a PARTIAL clip from the short preview Monty Oum provided us at the panel he did at A-Kon 22. There was A LOT more than this, trust me! Forgive the quality--my camera is really bad. SO EXCITED!

Commentaries

Oum used a reddit handle /u/montymoum on apparently two occasions, overwhelmingly to facilitate an “Ask Me Anything” interview with r/roosterteeth.

Oum’s posts themselves are archived in a series of eleven parts, from newest to oldest:

(Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4) (Part 5) (Part 6) (Part 7) (Part 8) (Part 9) (Part 10) (Part 11)

 * Sole post to the r/RWBY subreddit, consisting simply of a text post "Hi".
