Working in Your MashUp Group

The following notes are based upon years of practical experience with successful creative development teams and BCre8ive strongly recommend you, and your team, follow these basic principles in order to achieve the best results.

1. Set deadlines when you agree to upload new versions of work, or comment on someone else’s work within the group.
2. Work to the deadlines, and inform all team members if you realise you will not meet one or more deadlines.
3. Review all new work uploaded to the team room, and comment on it. Using Comments to the best effect.
• Always thank someone for the work they have submitted, especially if it is on time.
• Identify any further work, which you think needs to be undertaken to make the best use of the new material.
• Suggest how this new material may be organised, developed, amended or replaced by the next stage of development.
• Agree with other team members what needs to be achieved with any new work, which is planned for new deadline/s.
• When one or more aspects of a project are seen to be working for the majority of the team agree these, and focus the team’s attention on any remaining parts of the project that need to be developed.
4. If the team member or the team as a whole feels they need further input from outside the team to help shape the material then EITHER Hire a Mentor OR if the team agrees consult the BCre8ive Gallery for potential new team members.
5. If the team wishes to create a dramatic world to be considered for the BCre8ive Lab hire a Mentor to review the work the team has done to date.
6. If the team wish to take the work to a company, or enter the BCre8ive Lab, ensure all members of the team have signed the appropriate copyright documents, and transferred their rights in the work to the team’s group company.
