If you have no idea what CE3 is... CE3 2010? CE3 2011? Doesn't ring a bell. Then this thread is useless to you. http://www.HaloCE32011.IsGreat.Org

For the past two years Halo CE3 has showcased off content in the Halo Community and has gained over thousands of views across youtube and livestream.

Dear Lovers and Haters of CE3 alike

I am no longer going to be working on CE3, this includes CE3 2012 and possibly beyond due to time restraints, effective immediately. As you see from the CE3 2011 post-show I simply do not have time to even work on filming interviews and uploading them. (Some are still not uploaded to the youtube page). If I find time I will work on these interviews and upload them, otherwise I will not be doing anymore work for CE3.

My decision to resign as CE3's technical loser is final. My busy schedule will only let up later this year for 3 weeks, and then continue to push up until the end of June. By Mid-May CE3 2011 was deep in production, and with no more time on my hands to even do pre-production I clearly won't have time to help produce a good and enjoyable show. For the small amount of time I do have I'd rather work on my own projects (Takedown: Project Lawson), and my work for the team's I'm in (Lumoria: Episode 2).

If you would wish to replace me, here are the duty's I was responsible for:
-Pre-Production of the show (Planning the big surprises, scheduled, ect.)
-Handling the website (Scripting, Up-keeping)
-Handling the Youtube page (Uploading)
-Getting people to Join CE3 (Pain in the butt)
-Doing interviews and podcasts (Mic required)
-Scripting the show, and most of it's pre-release videos (Some were by Slow Bullet)
-Filming all the machinima portions (I did all of it by myself)
-Editing the show (I used Sony Vegas 9) and all of it's pre-release videos
-Streaming the show (Or finding someone else to do it for me :D)
-Handling all the post-show content (Extended Interviews, ect)

If you think you can do all of that... or most of it you can swing by Slow Bullet and see what he has to say. His xfire is slayermaster93

As for the poll results from after the show incase you were wondering.
What chats did you attend?
-Ustream 40%
-Xfire 33%
-Unofficial One 27%

Did you Enjoy CE3 2011?
-Yes 85%
-No 15%

Do You want a CE3 2012?
-Yes 94%
-No 6%

It was great while it lasted and I was glad to be apart of the two years I was in, but I just can't do it no more. Good luck to Slow Bullet on how things turn out, and how CE3 2012 will turn out if it isn't canceled. (Bullet can't do this by himself)

I have to have a cheesy goodbye video for this: MatthewDratt says Goodbye to CE3 (Hmmmm, I felt like I've done this before *COUGH*CERIPPER*COUGH*)
Sincerely,

Matthew Dratt
CE3 Co-Founder and Former Technical Loser

This does not mean I'm done with Custom Edition, just CE3.

FTFY

Hopefully someone will rise up to take over, I enjoyed CE3.

I second this commotion.

Meh, I'm also 'busy'. And my spare time ends up being halo time. I really don't see when I would have time to do all the stuff you did, dratt. Good job.

You and Bullet were like an old married couple. The show won't be the same. See you around.

Your Breaking up with me?! :( Dratt, your supposed to tell me all this before posting it. Well this is a sad day.

CE3 though is not cancelled though, CE3 will still thrive, I just need a new Co-Host.

mat dratt, u n bullet have started something beautiful, there were some glitches but ur efforts in the last 2 ce3's were enjoyable and much appreciated, ur efforts will b sorely missed and we hope that someone can fill ur position and they can produce a quality show that matches ur own. good luck with ur other projects :)

bye bye...

That's sorry to hear. I sorely wish I could help, but alas; my expertise lies with making maps and tags and stuff, not making videos and scripting.
