Sorry,
should have stopped your part of the quote after "Good Luck with that" ...

My reply was actually to be understood as a reply on Scooter's post.
(Edited the post now).
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Well my opinion on crew is that it needs to be in the chart

"Additional Make-up' is not in the chart But many variants are

Chief Makeup Artist,
Department Head,
Make-Up Artist,
Head Make-Up Artist,
Key Make-Up,
Key Make-Up Artist,
Key Makeup Artist & Hairstylist,
Lead Makeup Artist,
Make-up,
Makeup and Hair Designer,
Makeup Artist,
Make-Up Designer,
Makeup Artist & Hair to [Cast Name],
Makeup for [Cast Name]

I don't see any "Additional"

Given we have a chart to convert the credited role to the DVDP role it is a chart of what to include, not what to exclude.

In fact in the rules before the chart it states.

"If someone is not credited with one of these roles (or direct translations of these roles), do not include them in the Crew section. "

From what I have seen is credits for "Additional Makeup Artist" come after the Key, or principal make-up artists.


Are you saying MakeUp Artist is incorrect since they have the word "Additional" in them?
(I hope you recognize your (slightly adapted) quote)
So why is "Additional" suddenly incorrect if it is placed directly in front of the credit, but correct if it is placed as descriptor for a whole group?

The job done is surely the same (usually something sub-ordinated to the job done by the principal crew).
So where exactly is the difference between this scenario:
Group-Header: Additional MakeUp by XYZ
John Doe -> MakeUp Artist

and the scenario in the OP?
In both cases John Doe is doing Additional MakeUp.


I answered that in the thread on company headers.

http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=725071&PageNum=3&messageID=2270926#M2270926

You are mixing two completely different issues.  This thread is about a credit for an explicit role of "Additional Makeup".  The crew table is on the explicit role of the person. 

The company headers issue is where you believe the description of the company header automatically propagates down to the credits of the people doing roles for that company, as where I do not.


Additional Make-up by Company XYZ <-- Company Header
Make-up Artist    John Doe <-- Valid
Additional Make-up Artist    Joe Smith <-- invalid

The issues are completely separate.

You made this thread since you don't think you can't have one without the other.  But that depends on what your opinion of the company header and whether the text in that company header implicitly effects the roles of the credits in that set of company credits.

Two different issues the explicit role of "Additional Make-up" is not in the crew chart is one issue and is the subject  of this thread, the company header and how the text of that header can implicitly affect roles within it is another (and in another thread).

Why?  Not trying to be funny, but your reasoning?

When it says Additional Make-up Artist, the job is make-up artist.  Additional has nothing to do with the job title.

Just looking for reasoning...

Because for crew we are given an explicit list of roles that map to a DVD profiler role and "Additional Make-up Artist" is not in the crew chart.  Nor do we have a note in the notes field (or text for crew credits) that states that "Additional" is allowed.  Unlike cast, crew has a more specific set of guidelines in the chart.

The rule for the chart states "If someone is not credited with one of these roles (or direct translations of these roles), do not include them in the Crew section. "

P.S. Before anyone brings it up as a point of ambiguity I would point out "or direct translations of these roles" refers to credits in foreign languages that have to be translated.

So then you would have us remove the screenwriting credits from all films with a "Screen Play" credit?  That's ridiculous.

As you can see, by the thread I linked to, this is how I used to think.  My opinion evolved because of three sections of the crew chart that I had, for whatever reason, overlooked...Director, Producer and Executive Producer.

In those three section, we are give roles that can't be entered...Co-Director, Co-Producer, Associate Producer & Co-Executive Producer.  Why list those if it is already understood that the only valid credits are the ones listed in the credited as column?

Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

They're just a few examples, that list certainly isn't exhaustive. Or should we start entering, say, "Line Producers" now, just because those aren't listed in the "Incorrect Roles" column?

And this is based on what exactly?
Someone just recently submiited "Additional Photography" credits to "Gravity".

Based on your point I suppose you would consider this to be incorrect then?
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Ridiculous, yes. But that is what rules say.  In fact, most rules are ridiculous, but they must be followed, not violated as some try to do here or in the "Sp Ce Camp" thread.

Nobody can choose the rules he applies, and the rules he violates, though many users here are ready to interpret rules to get what they want.

No, that is not what the rules say, that is what a particular interpretation of the rules would have us do.

"Screen Play by", "Written for the Screen by", and "Adapted for the Screen by" are all direct translations of "Screenplay by" even though they're in the same language

That's a very limited viewpoint.

From Oxford dictionary:

Definition of translation in English:
translation
Line breaks: trans|la¦tion
Pronunciation: /trans'le??(?)n

    1The process of translating words or text from one language into another: the translation of the Bible into English
    More example sentences
    1.1 A written or spoken rendering of the meaning of a word or text in another language: a Spanish translation of Calvin’s great work

    2The conversion of something from one form or medium into another: the translation of research findings into clinical practice
    2.1 Biology The process by which a sequence of nucleotide triplets in a messenger RNA molecule gives rise to a specific sequence of amino acids during synthesis of a polypeptide or protein.

    3 • formal or • technical The process of moving something from one place to another: the translation of the relics of St Thomas of Canterbury

    3.1 Mathematics Movement of a body from one point of space to another such that every point of the body moves in the same direction and over the same distance, without any rotation, reflection, or change in size.

There is nothing about same signification inside a language, which is, for your information, called synonym.

Should we?  No.  Can we?  It sure seems that way.

I would not include it because there is already a DoP and you don't have one when you have the other.

As I said to T!M, just because you can enter it, doesn't mean you should.
