Jeff Williams is a critically-acclaimed composer who works primarily for the production company Rooster Teeth , and is known for scoring music for many of their various works including the webseries, and, along with the company's upcoming feature comedy. His daughter, Casey Lee Williams, is often involved with his works, and is the lead localist for the RWBY soundtrack I recently got the chance to ask Jeff a number of questions, and I am extremely grateful that he was willing to set aside a little bit of time to respond to them, even if the process was considerably rushed. I do feel rather bad for taking him away from his crazy busy projects. Enjoy the interview!It appears some people didn't realize that the final question was entirely a joke, which I made abundantly clear to Jeff beforehand. I jokingly pitched it to a friend while I was writing the interview questions, and they somehow convinced me to keep it in.---------Jeff Williams: A nightmare. I'm actually working onnow. I work almost every day for 12-16 hours.JW: I don't currently work on X+V; that's just Steve [Goldshein] and Alex [Abraham] doing that right now. They love working on that show.I like writing songs, really. I just let my imagination run and I think about the shows and the characters a lot. I could never make an album that was one style of music from start to end... It's just my nature to jump around in different styles.JW: They are both awesome composers and great people, and have very different sounds and skills. Having them as helpers means I can spend more time on writing songs, and it seems pretty clear that the songs that I do are what people gravitate to.JW: No, I never said that, Casey is not a songwriter. I hope she will be, but right now she doesn't write songs. She's part of the process in that... we influence each other's listening habits a lot. But I write the songs and all the lyrics. I hope very much that she will write songs, but we all do what we do when we are ready to do it.JW: I listen to music so sporadically that I couldn't say. Honestly, all the music that I have listened to and played over my entire life is what goes into what I write.JW: I can't comment on this at this time.JW: Not answering this except to say that my heart is broken and it will be forever.JW: I have no idea.JW: I honestly don't watch them. I'm more of atype.JW: No, I don't watch them, it's not a joke. I mean, I understand what I need to understand in order to do what I need to do. That usually comes more from reading the script and talking with directors than from actually watching it. I feel no need to watch the show after I am done working on it. Rooster Teeth's audio mixing is... well, let's just say... it doesn't tend to flatter the music.I interact with the characters in a different way than the viewer does. I need to dream about them and imagine their lives and their thoughts and their feelings and experiences. I need to let my imagination run around and pretend the characters are telling me their deepest secrets. What the viewer sees in the show is just a tiny slice of that character's life. Writing anything requires a lot of pretending.I watch very little TV, I don't watch a ton of movies. I don't have that kind of free time, and I'm just not interested in 99% of what is produced.JW: I would guess so, but I honestly don't know right now.JW: Hiking, fashion, girls, cars that I would buy if I had enough time to drive them.JW: Embarrassment when she denies you.JW: I'm so glad that it is. Thank you.---------Check out Jeff Williams' incomplete IMDb page , or follow him on the Rooster Teeth community
