Lazer Baby Game Trailer Teamwork

Our team consists of four people, me, Ethan, Nat and jack. In our first team meeting after the whole group decided who was in the two teams, we thought of a few names that we could have for our team but in the end we decided to have the name Lazer Baby.

My role in the team is to do character and environment design and modelling, animation and texturing. I am doing the environment modelling because that is my main strength.

Ethan's role in the team is the team leader, character/creature and environment design and modelling. Ethan's biggest strength is probably his concept art which is why he is doing the character design.

Jack's role in the team is creature concept art and creative ideas. Jacks strength is his creature concept art which is why he is doing the creature concept art for the team.

Nat's role in the team is character/creature design, creating textures and audio. Nat's strength is his photoshop ability which is why he is creating textures.
