I'm not sure, but I don't think I've seen Weapons Master on the list.

Hi,

I made a crew job request post, but was informed by lineker that this is the right place to post it. So I am just going to repost it below.

I was adding crew members for an old Bollywood film, and couldn't figure out what would be the right credit for someone who writes only the lyrics of the songs featured in the film. The official film credit is 'Lyrics', but as you know, there is no such credit on TMDB. There is a 'Songs' credit in the Sound department, but that didn't seem right; neither did an outright writing credit. I think there should be a separate credit for Lyricist in the Writing department, because, speaking of Bollywood films and many musicals, the lyrics of songs are often an integral part of their story and should be credited as such.

Good suggestion! often also used in Disney animated features for example!

I would like to add these items to the list:

I added one more item. (Was surprised to find that we TMDb didn't have Executive Story Editor already)

Is it okey if I just keep updating my original post or should I create a new post next time?

The easiest is probably for you to update your original post. Make sure to check that the jobs haven't already been suggested though.

Okey!

I check Bananas Master List on the other discussion page before adding.

Here is the latest master list of suggested jobs to add. I don't think those have been added yet. And then there are the jobs suggested in the topic since that post. The Master List by Banana is a list of current jobs.

Thanks for the info and the link to the updated list.

One of the jobs i suggested was already added to the updated list. (My bad! Won't happen again.)

I wanted to suggest adding another job:

Cinematography Assistant/Photography Assistant in the Camera department.

I have been working on a bunch of old Bollywood films these past couple of days, and some of them include credits that simply read Photography Assistant (photography here meaning cinematography, of course), without specifying exactly what their position was. All the Camera department jobs we currently have involve something specific, leaving only Other as a viable candidate, but it does not seem right. I suggest adding the above job to cover it.

EDIT:

For what it's worth, I think there should be a general Assistant job in each department, just like there is a Other job. What do you guys think?

EDIT 2:

Also wanted to suggest a Film Processor job. I'm not sure if it should be added to the Crew or Editing department. This is another common credit in older films. The person, as the name suggests, processes the film. I couldn't find a similar job on the master list.

For what it's worth, I think there should be a general Assistant job in each department, just like there is a Other job. What do you guys think?

I don't think the Other job should be there at all... it doesn't tell you anything about what the person did for the movie. I think they should be deleted.

Amen! It's better to be patient and wait for a job to be added than adding 10 Other.

Updated my original post.

Costume & Make-Up:

Assistant Makeup Artist

Let's be consistent with the other makeup/hair jobs and make it Makeup/Hair/etc Assistant ? (:

Althought... there is Assistant Costume Designer... but I kinda prefer the assistant on the end b/c then it also appears when searching the regular job D:

but regex searching need to be a thing !! haha

And soon there is Assistant Camera too...

And btw we have First Assistant Director

Edit:

Oh now I get it, you are just referring to the Makeup/ Hair stuff.

If this is the case i think we should have assistant first because everything else have that first.

This isn't a Job request but rather a request to let Comic Book be in Featured Crew like Novel.

Maybe I should created a new discussion but it seamed like it relate to this.
