I’m amazed at the people who get put in CGI film credits these days.

One film I saw (I believe it was Coraline [which I realize was not all CGI]) had
HR people (the Frankenhausers), data wranglers, and other odd and sundry credits.

To John Davis:

These people are not the reason movie prices are so high today… This has been the standard crew roster for making films for nearly 100 years. So while this has stayed constant other factors have made movie prices rise.

And most directors I’ve worked with are not good DPs. Otherwise they’d be dps too. The DP is also in charge of the gaffer (the lighting department) and the camera department and has final say over most things in the shot (putting them above the set department and people like the greensman).

Interestingly enough it’s the director who decides where to put the camera (what type of shot… long, medium, wide, close, etc)

A Lead Man is in the art department. An AD runs the set.

Two posts here that make me wonder about the poster. The first was the buyer…duh…no one needs an explanation, we all know what a buyer does. Buyer is a verb form of the word ‘buy’ so its pretty obvious to anyone that knows the English language.

The second was the person that said “This article would have been considerably better if half of the entries didn’t start with “Thought this meant XYZ? Wrong!” OK, I get it. Just tell me what the title means already!” Looks like you didn’t even read the article because there wasn’t one that read exactly that way and three that were close. Three out of fifteen possbiles is NOT half. 7.5 would be half, so your math stinks.

The article itself. Good, perhaps too general but enough info to have a basic understanding of the terms.

First there

There is one gaffer. Anybody under him is an electric. A grip is much more than a worker bee and should never touch a set piece.

An easy way to see it is gaffer and his electrics do light while the key grip and grips do shadows.
