Skype is evil, go for oovoo

No problem -I'll see what I can do. However, I'm not totally sure when the questions will be ready in English (let alone French).

I'll get back to you when they're all ready, though. In the meantime, is there anything you want us to ask you?


Please do! :D -the earlier, the better!

FYI what's-his-face from Halofollower just mentioned CE3 in one of his videos. Might have a much larger audience this time.

Thanks for lookin' out for us!

Oh wow.. yeah, hopefully, we'll get more viewers this year, then :D

Dratt! Dratt! Dratt! Maybe we should include a quick tutorial on how to get Halo Custom Edition in the beginning and/or end of the livestream, in case we have newbies that want to get this game?
And/or a download package so new users won't just stick with the default maps?

We'll see!

I'd imagine I'd cover it like this http://haloce3.com/about/

It's gonna be awesome... He said he would even recap the show...

EDT is different than EST by 1 hour.

The countdown timer on the website should work correctly if your PC time is set up right.

how many submissions did you guys get this year?

We have 19 total submissions this year.

I thought there'd be a bit more, but.. oh well. At least we have better quality, this year ^^

Isn't 19 currently holding the record as most projects submitted to CE3? (I was looking at the website, and there were 19 submissions for 2010 and 2012.)

Yeah, that's right.
It's just that.. well let's just say we did a pretty good job at making things look huge last year :P

I should make a gun that looks like a big dot and submit it to break the record, I call it "the dot" ...it fires nukes XD

its going to be legend- I hope you aren't lactose intolerant -dary!

All rendering (including the stage) is done in the Halo engine, but I think animation rigging etc. will be imported from 3DS Max.

Wait, what do you mean by that? Instead of making it a machinima, make it a cgi show? Noooooo wayyy

Haven't submitted? The deadline will be pushed back until July 6th!

With an avatar as fierce as yours I don't think they could possibly refuse your entry ;)

Hmm, that means that thing I started at 1AM, I might be able to have it presentable by then lol. I'd say im a bit over half way through making it presentable.

Quality... as a standalone video, maybe. But the point that we want to make is that anything -even machinima- is possible with Custom Edition. We're using the game engine instead of regular rendering to reinforce that thought. (plus, it's more fun!)


Be glad that he extended the deadline, then ;)
We'll be looking forward to your new submission(s) then, Kirby!

20 years later.... still extended! lol jk but at least some people still have opportunity, and it helps in the chance to make a record

But otherwise, I'm looking forward to this! :D

RvB has a huge production team and months to produce the show. For the machinima part I have me and one week

Regardless, I agree with Dratt and renegade on the choice to film the production entirely in CE because as renegade said we really want to send a message that you can still do great things in a 12 year old game.
Though if you're worried about a lack of quality... I think we've got a few things up our sleeve this year.

So, at the end of the 6th, or beginning? Anyways, the thing I started the other day, its in presentable state, sent it to masterz, ask him whether we're gonna have it for H2SPP's CE3, im gonna be sleeping (up all night, almost 8AM now. Only had 4 hours of sleep day before, etc.)

Besides, Red vs. Blue took like.. what? Seven or eight years? to fully embrace CGI and get its show's formula right, too. This is only our fourth year of CE3.

Besides, could you have imagined OpenSauce's existence five years ago?
If we can go that far, then there's no reason to think we can't compete with professional rendering softwares, right? ;)


I want to say the end, but I'd wait for Dratt to give a formal answer.
Either way, it doesn't hurt if you can get it in as early as possible, right?

WHEN DO I DO MY INTERVIEW?

If it's no longer the 6th where you are NO MOAR

Also to do the show fully CGI is crazy out of anyones mind. I'd have to stop submittions in May and air the show in October. Machinima allows me to head bob 99.9% of the machinima parts and I can do in a week

And where does that leave mocap rigging?

Outside our budget.

(though if we could all afford it, though, that'd be amazing.. but our crew's spread out all across the US and the world..)

I've processed all submissions submitted to CE3.

If I've not talked to you personally, or if you did not receive an email confirmation by now, please talk to me. (Please don't resubmit because I've might have just forget to send out an email. Check emails right now!)

"Below you can review your submission for CE3 2013. Receiving this email means that CE3 has received your project successfully and it has been processed. If you need to make any changes re-submit to the website before the end of July 6th. www.haloce3.com
