Such is the question, because crew is complicated  (at least from my perspective). 

I just picked up The Legend of Lobo.  It's not in the database, so I went ahead to build the profile.  Have a bit of a question about crediting though...

The only on-screen credit for cast reads:  "A tale of the Old West told in song and story by Rex Allen with The Sons of the Pioneers"  ==> I am crediting both as Storyteller (voice).  Sound okay?

There are no on-screen credits for producer or executive producer.  There are credits for Field Producer and Co-Producer.  I'm certain that the rules say to leave these out, but I'm asking because there are no other producer credits.

There are also no on-screen credits for cinematographer or director of photography.  There is an on-screen credit that reads "Photographers Jack Couffer Lloyd Beebe"  Does this count for director of photography or should I simply leave that blank too?

Thanks for any/all help with interpretation.

Your cast credit sounds fine.

Your initial thought on producers sounds correct as well.  Field Producer is not in the list and Co-Producer is specifically excluded.

The photographer credit is 'Cinematographer', not DoP.  If you look at the crew chart you will find 'Photographed by' and 'Photography by'.  Those are the functions of the photographers.

JMHO.

Thanks Unicus, dee1959jay & northbloke!  I had forgotten about the crew chart - got used to seeing the equivalents listed in parenthesis in the sound section and forgot there were equivalents for some of the other roles too.
