Questions on Collaboration

1)  What have been some successes and failures of co-authorship in the past for you?  What difficulties/successes have you had with the video project so far in this aspect?

2) Imagine you sit in front of a board of authors, all of whom worked on the same piece you mean to inquire upon.  Do you feel that when you ask a question whoever answers is the most knowledgeable on that topic?  Or would you expect to hear a response from all the authors, since they all comprised this work?  Basically, would you expect a clear line between what each is versed at or what each studied, or do you think they all would have comprehensive knowledge?

3) Interview question:  Where in your life have you found that a collaboration was necessary to complete a task?  How did you accomplish this goal with others, and what skill sets did you call upon to do so?
