| | Posted: | | | | I don't think any of those translate into Profiler crew roles. I've done some concert credits, but I've only stuck to crew credits when they match roles in the credits grid exactly. |

| | Posted: | | | | There is no listing for Sound, so I was wondering about Recording Engineers, Music Mixers, 2nd Unit Sound.
There was no DOP listed except for the 2nd Unit. So being that is the only DOP listed would it be ok to include this one.
Stage Designer, would that be similar to a Production Designer/ Art Direction since they designed the look of the stage.
Also what are Stage Show Artistic Directors and Musical Director? |

| | Posted: | | | | I may be wrong, but I would credit as below:
Recording Engineer ---> Sound
Music Mixer ----> Production Sound Mixer
I wouldn't credit anyone else from that list. Even the DoP - we don't credit 2nd unit at all.
Musical Director is more to do with orchestras, sometimes referring to the conductor. They don't direct the cameras, which is what our "director" role is for.
Stage Show Artistic Director usually refers to someone who is responsible for the look of the show, supervising the set design, choreography etc.
Neither are relevant to our credit list.
Edit: as for the Stage Design credit - yes, maybe a Production Designer credit would be valid. | | | | Last edited: by northbloke |

Music Mixer ----> Production Sound Mixer I'd probably use a "re-recording mixer" credit for the latter: Recording Engineer ---> "sound" credit Music Mixer ----> "re-recording mixer" credit Apart from that, I basically agree with everything you said in your post. |

Technical Director
The TD wouldn't be credited, because all this person does is sit in front of the director and pushes the buttons on the control board, when the director tells them. | | | We're on a mission from God.

This is a fairly common credit in flms that I would not want to see be added to DVDP as "Production Sound Mixer". I'd certainly agree with that - for films, that is. As this is about a music concert DVD, things are a bit different. Someone recorded the music at a live performance (credited here as "recording engineer") and someone later mixed it into what we actually hear on the DVD (credited here as "music mixer"). Give these specific circumstances, "sound" and "sound re-recording mixer" credits seem appropriate, but not to worry: I'm perfectly happy to keep those local. |

Apart from that, I basically agree with everything you said in your post. The reason I went for "production sound mixer" is because I felt that more accurately reflected the fact that the music mixer would be doing the mixing live, whereas "re-recording mixer" suggests that the mixing is done in a dub afterwards. But I readily admit I'm no expert and would accept either credit. Edit: I just noticed your next post to Hal. If the music mixer is a post-production job, then yes, your credit option is better. | | | | Last edited: by northbloke |

This practice simply dilutes the credibility of the data. | | | | Hal |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree with what, Hal says, the more we shoehorn things the more meaningless the data. It's very simple if it is not listed, then at this time we don't use it PERIOD.

| | Posted: | | | | I was simply asking because I thought that perhaps since this has to do with a music concert that the terminology may be different than those used for films or tv shows. |

Unfortunately, that results in different people arriving at different results - as clearly illustrated in this thread. For the users that strictly adhere to the short list of job descriptions in the contribution rules - not that there's anything wrong with that! - dealing with this kind of "different terminology" is simply impossible. If you're willing to "loosen up a bït" in that department, you'll be able to award a few more credits. But then, chances are that you'll have to keep your stuff local... |

This practice simply dilutes the credibility of the data. We do it all the time for non English credits and we do it sometimes also for English credits. E.g. "adapted for the screen by" gets a "screenwriter" credit, "photographed by" gets a "director of photography" credit and similar. If the job description fits, I see no problem. |
