I always thought majority decisions are called democracy, not tyranny.   Virus: You are unfamiliar with the History of the US Constitution and the Fathers of the US. That is indede one of their concerns. But i won't go further afield into politics than that. Alien, you disappoint me, you should know that. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Well... the way I was thinking is that we would still have the categories we have now... but instead of roles we had to choose from we just had a text field that we type in the actual role from the credits. Then we still have the local only Other for the people that want to track categories that is not tracked in the online database. This is the way I'd do it as well. Specific categories (maybe add a few from what we have today, like casting), and then free text field to type in the actual credit. It would be Ken's call as to which categories he wants the program to track. Tracking every credit is sheer insanity. The idea of being able to select/deselect a category for contribution or download has much merit. | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

The idea of being able to select/deselect a category for contribution or download has much merit. Agreed. And I really do like the idea of being able to select/deselect categories for contribution and download...excellent idea.  | | | | "The perfect is the enemy of the good." - Voltaire |

(He might not have been the first, just the most recent I remember.) Thanks for resurrecting that thread AR. I feel that Ken that has spent an exorbitant amount of energy over the last couple of builds finding ways to add more data to profiles. Unfortunately, what's being added is useless info that only serves to take up residence on my hard drive. Maybe some people here want this extraneous info in their profiles, I don't know, but if you're going to give everyone the added ability to procure that info, you should also give people the filtering process for not receiving it if they do so desire. |

And more importantly: make sure it remains possible to contribute crew corrections (to the segments of crew data that you do choose to track) without having to download any unwanted data into your local database first. | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

| | Posted: | | | | I am doing the credits for a old (1978) UK TV series and have come across a credit i am not sure about, the credit is "Lighting Director" there is no Cinematographer or DoP and am wondering if this may be an old term for these? |

Indeed Lighting Director is a Director of Photography.
http://ww2.prospects.ac.uk/p/types_of_job/lighting_director_job_description.jsp I think because of the age of the production I may have to disagree, especially if the series is studio-based. A lighting director then would have had final say over the lighting, but would have had nothing to do with the cameras. And I may be wrong, but I believe a Director of Photography has say over both. |

The lighting and camera departments would both report to the studio director separately, no one person would have overall say over both lighting and camera - which I believe is what a director of photography or cinematographer has. I'm not saying it's the case here, but given the age of the production, I think there's a strong chance that's how it was crewed. A lack of cinematography credit doesn't always necessarily mean someone else did the job. |
