Conception and main characters
RWBY had been a long-standing concept of Oum's for years before it began development. Towards the end of his work on the 10th season of Rooster Teeth's [[Red vs. Blue]/], he developed the color-coding approach to character names and design as a hook for the series.[2] During production on Red vs. Blue season 10, Oum asked series creator [[Burnie Burns]/] if they could produce RWBY following the conclusion of that season. Burns, worried for the production schedule, told Oum "If you finish Season 10, then you can do whatever you want." Production on RWBY began as intended, with the first trailer being finished within two weeks and premiering after the credits of the Red vs. Blue season 10 finale on November 5, 2012.[4]
