I can add filters to the acceptance process that automatically convert incorrect names into correct names. Thoughts? EXCELLENT idea (IMO) Could not see Momentum Pictures, or the studio canal choices in the listings - was there a seperate thread on these at IVS forums? Could we also have a filter that stops any studio added with an ending of... Production or Film or Picture For example, these are when people see on the back of covers something like a Malpaso production, and then add the studio as Malpaso Productions.  Of course when it is plural, Productions,Films or Pictures after the studio name, it is quite often correct. | | |  | | | | Last edited: by hayley taylor |

I would not expect this thread anymore tha it did at IVS to in any way even try to be comprehenseive, ever,there are simply too many Studios and Production Companies out there and they are constantly changing. I tried to focus on the major data, which I think is the best way to go.

| | Posted: | | | | If a film is credited as a Malpaso production. Then to me the studio name should be Malpaso. It was an example  Similarly, when I see Hell's Kitchen film, to me the studio name entered should be Hell's Kitchen, not Hell's Kitchen Film. When we see an opening credit of A Universal Pictures production... We don't list it as 'Universal Pictures Production', it is 'Universal Pictures'. Are there any production companies/studios that names actually end in a singular such as Film, Production or Picture? I skimmed through my edit studios and couldn't find any legitimate ones. There are many of course that end in the plural. | | | | | | | Last edited: by hayley taylor |

| | Posted: | | | | What are peoples thoughts on dropping the redundant locality info off the end of the studios:
eg Paramount Home Entertainment (UK) or Anchor Bay Entertainment UK
It just seems to create uneccesary variants of the same studio. | | | | Stuart |

Bang Zoom! Entertainment
Studio
Bang Zoom! Entertainment
Incorrect
Bang Zoom! This shouldnt be even added as far as i know. Its an audio post-production studio. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang_zoom_entertainment Rules say to list: • Theatrical Release Studio(s) • Production Company(s) • DVD Distribution studio(s) if there is room available. |

Bump. Any thoughts on some easy filters to add to cut down on clearly incorrect studios? Not had any reaction on my suggestion to auto-filter any studio that is added with a singular ending of Production, Film or Picture? As previously said, in the 'acceptable' studio list I could not find any instances of these. However in the database there are lots of instances of these being incorrectly recorded. Also, are you proposing that any studio that has been identified as incorrect, eg Disney dvd, Walt disney home entertainment etc, would automatically be excluded from a contribution? | | | | | | | Last edited: by hayley taylor |

Are there any production companies/studios that names actually end in a singular such as Film, Production or Picture? I skimmed through my edit studios and couldn't find any legitimate ones. There are many of course that end in the plural. I agree...partially. As an example...'Clive Barker's Lord of Illusions' has a credit of "A Seraphim Production". The actual name of the production company is 'Seraphim Films'. I would like to be able to enter that information...with proper documentation...as I think just 'Seraphim' looks silly. But that is just me. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | I believe that these should be added to the Columbia section:
CORRECT:
Columbia Music Video
Sony Music Entertainment Inc.
This is the wording on the packaging for all of Columbia/Sony's music video DVDs. |
