| | Posted: | | | | Are Crew credits like "additional Sound Editor", "additional photography", "additional music by" or "additional Make-up" to be contributed in DVD Profiler or should they stay local if entered? | | | | Last edited: by MakoDeth |

| | Posted: | | | | Local only. The contribution rules specifically state this. | | | My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it! |

Where? At least not in the "Credits" section. As I can see no "Additional" in the crew chart, so I would say this is the part of the rules: Quote:
If someone is not credited with one of these roles (or direct translations of these roles), do not include them in the Crew section. And so my vote goes also for "local only". | | | | Last edited: by VirusPil |

| | Posted: | | | | It's disallowed here: Quote:
For each category, include only those people credited with the roles listed in the "Role" and "Credited As" columns. If someone is not credited with one of these roles (or direct translations of these roles), do not include them in the Crew section.
Roles with "additional" as part of the role are not listed in either the "Role" or "Credited As" columns. Neither are they "direct translations" of roles in the chart since they are "additional" to the primary crew roles in the chart. That makes them non-equivalent in my opinion. | | | ...James

| | Posted: | | | | Additional or not, it's still a Sound Editor, isn't it?
What does he remove next? Sound Editors listed with "and"?
Because "and" is not in the crew chart? | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

No, and that level of knowledge should not be required to add credits to the database. Contextually one can discern that they are not the same. Their actual job descriptions are irrelevant. I do not know credits with two "Sound Editors: aaaaa and bbbbb" by heart. You do not know a job description of an "Additional Sound Editor". We are not perfect. But may it be that there is no profession "Additional Sound Editor" at all? So that it is just an additional "Sound Editor"? Like an "and" Sound Editor? Like Sound Editors separated by comma, or row?

There are indeed different rules for cast. No, quite the contrary. Additional "Cast" is allowed, Additional "Crew" is not disallowed. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

That's not covered by The Rules. Sure it is. "Additional Sound Editor" is not in the crew chart. It's not a direct translation of "Sound Editor". The rules deal with this issue. Quoting bbbbb: Quote:
No, quite the contrary. Additional "Cast" is allowed, Additional "Crew" is not disallowed. Casting Director is not specifically disallowed by the rules chart either, but it cannot be added since it is neither listed in the rules chart nor is it a direct translation of any role that's in the rules chart. Very few roles are specifically disallowed. | | | ...James
