As an update to last week, Phillip DeFranco's new channel is sucessfully taking off, and has, as promised, really brought the community into Youtube. However, this week, I am going to shift my focus from YouTube and take a look at another community driven website known as RoosterTeeth. This website, like many of the things that I follow, got it's start on YouTube, with one of their earliest creations, the comedy-sketch-esque compilation of Red Vs. Blue. Which is based around characters they created from the then-popular game Halo in 2003. RoosterTeeth has grown since then, getting their own merchandise, much like forhumanpeoples.com, and creating more content thanks to the involvement of their fans. Their newest project is one that I have come to love, and is successfully taking off. The Show Rwby. Rwby is the story of Ruby Rose, a girl who wants to become a Huntress in a world filled with the evil creatures of Grimm. It is a spin off of the old Grimm Brothers' stories and so far has gained a small cult following including myself, and a few of my friends. Plus thousands of regulars on the RoosterTeeth website. Rwby is animated, written, and voiced by members of RoosterTeeth, and is on it's 14th episode of the first season.
