Do the artists hang out together and exchange ideas with each other, or is each artist an 'island' catering to their particular strength?asked by Cyberwolf
TL;DRThe artists share ideas constantly and work as a team, playing to individual strengths but handing a ship to someone else if one artist can't finish it.
No, we hang out, we share ideas on a minute to minute basis. Basically, I'll call someone over and say, does this look like trash, does it look amazing, what do you think. I may love it, and someone else'll be like, that totally doesn't work, and I"ll be like, well, why doesn't it work? And I'll do it to them. So, you do it to me all the time.
The big thing is it's a team effort. You know, people are kind of tired of hearing this, but you know, there's no I in Team, and the reality is, the artist in me wants to own a thing. But not everyone's strong at everything, except for ElwinEB: [shakes head]
But, the idea is, you do want to play guys to their strengths. And, you don't want to be the case all the time, ultimately you want everyone to have the same set of strengths, but given that production, that rarely ever happens, we start spreading people around and making sure that what's getting the attention is the ship, which is what the priority is on, and not necessarily the individual. So that individual brings their best to that particular thing, and if it can't close out with that artist, we'll close it out with someone else on the team.
