I'm in the US Air Force stationed in Alaska. I've been chillin on bnet for nearly 5 years now.
here's the whole thing
XE: So how did it feel to get the H3 trailer premiered at E3?
Marty: Well we actually worked very closely with Peter Moore on it, and actually showed it in Bill Gates conference room and they OK’ed it. I was actually pretty nervous going into it because first was Sony then Nintendo, and then Microsoft was last, and we were the very last thing Microsoft was showing so we didn’t know how people would react, and we didn’t specifically know everything else that was going to be at the Microsoft show. I thought “Gosh, what if everyone is bored and thinks it’s dull.” So I had my fingers crossed, I wanted everyone to go wild, and everyone to clap. So I’m really happy it went well and really excited about Halo 3 and happy I can finally talk about Halo 3.
XE: I know you get asked this a lot but do you think you could release a Halo 3 trailer MP3?
It’s one of those things that is my decision, where I have the ability to want to do it or not since I am the audio director for Bungie and not just a hired hand. I have a hand in making the trailers, and help put in my own input throughout all that Bungie does in many ways. We are bringing something new out here soon though—
What is that?
It isn’t a dramatic thing, it’s just sort of a behind the scenes showing how we did what we did with the trailer, and we are going to show some more angles of the trailer. Let me ask you, did you get to go to the hotel and see us fly through Halo 3?
Well no, I didn’t actually hear about it until a MS PR guy told me about it, but I thought it was pretty interesting.
Well a funny thing about that, we showed them and flew around in the trailer in real time, we were able to show how light reflects off the space-tether, you could see the expanse of the Forerunner construct and how it goes out for miles, something people don’t know is we had the option to let the press play some multiplayer.
Just real quick though, Halo 3 aside, I just want to say this is a great opportunity and it’s great to be with Nobuo Uematsu, Koji Kondo, and Jeremy Soule and so on. It’s just great to get videogame music so appreciated. We all get to hear ourselves live; we’re all friends believe it or not!
