Details |
I was wondering, is there a general consensus about this?
Sometimes credits include a heading something like "Visual Effects by Bla Bla Bla" and under it a Visual Effects Supervisor is listed. Generally this individual is contributed, sometimes with and sometimes without the company details added in a divider.
However, if the heading is something like "Additional Visual Effects by Bla Bla Bla" do we include or exclude the individual if he's still credited as a Visual Effects Supervisor? It gets more confusing if the company divider isn't included, as then there's no context for the submission of the individual.
The Rules say we include Visual Effects Supervisors but I don't think there's any clear guide on what to do in this sort of case.
Apologies if this has been considered before. Thanks. | Posted: Topic Replies: 4, Topic Views: 103 |  | Quoting GSyren:

Thanks for this. For some reason I had it ticked for cast but not crew. | Posted: Topic Replies: 6, Topic Views: 989 | | I feel your pain!  The eyesight, the using the TV for 4K discs, the tragic loss you have suffered.
In my local database I collect details (writers and performers) for all of the music that's used in films etc. As so many stage names and other naming anomalies crop up, this can take a long time, especially for very obscure artists. (And nearly always in an extra tiny font that even in HD can still be blurry when magnified.) Even now, years later, I can remember spending what my memory now considers "forever" profiling a film on DVD that had over 50 bits of music credited as used in it, mostly by hip-hop / rap artists, most of whom were not well known, many of whom had multiple stage names. Then I did something that resulted in my losing all the information.
I'm pretty sure my brain has purposefully blocked out the details of this catastrophe (I can't even remember what film it was now) to prevent me from suffering permanent psychological damage. Even now when I go through this profiling process, I sit worrying how often I should save what I've typed in vs the extra time doing this a lot would use up. It's like the mouse is being dragged towards the Cancel Button, which itself gets bigger and bigger the more records I've inputted but not yet saved, whilst the Save & Close one itself shrinks until it's the size of one pixel and sneakily hides behind the former! It sounds completely stupid but I'm pretty sure it's true.  | Posted: Topic Replies: 6, Topic Views: 989 | | Big thank you greyghost (and really sorry if I've missed anyone else out for thanks) for this.

I feel like a guy who for years has sat on his roof each night sending out radio signals into the universe and then one evening gets a reply!
And when will I ever not feel like the new kid on the block around here, with only 14 years since registration? | Posted: Topic Replies: 51, Topic Views: 10583 | | In the UK, quoted prices for everything always include tax (Value Added Tax in our case). No one in day to day conversation talks about non VAT prices, unless they're moaning about paying VAT in general on certain things and not on others! The only people buying anything who're interested in net of VAT prices are businesses, as they can sometimes claim it back. Prices in shops and online almost always include VAT, unless it's a seller focused on business customers, where they sometimes exclude the VAT in the primary cost they advertise.
Is there actually a formal description of what SRP is?
Not that I'm very interested in SRP prices one way or the other, as they seem pretty meaningless these days and I actually clear that field in my local database. | Posted: Topic Replies: 10, Topic Views: 5922 | | Quoting mreeder50:

I did that too, for my records and CDs, as it was hard/expensive to get units to fit them efficiently.
However, I also live in a small flat, so for a lot of my DVDs and Blu-ray discs I put up shelves using (the black version of) this stuff:
I used wood pine for the shelves that I stained black and cut to the length I needed and also used the same wood to put ends on the shelves, so each 'unit' looks more like a bookcase rather than just shelves. They basic construction isn't that attractive, but you can't really see anything except the edges of the shelves and the ends, once they're in use.
This is one in a corner, it goes from floor to ceiling and fills the entire space between the wall and the door. (Horrible photo sorry, my phone's camera is broken.) You can see they are more space efficient than the billy-style ones next to them and I get nine shelves in 'my' design in the same space needed for eight billy ones, plus the space from not having the vertical dividers.
You obviously have to drill loads of holes in your walls to put them up, but they're relatively cheap, can be made any height or width, you don't waste space with the vertical dividers and you can adjust the height between the shelves at any time for different media types. Obviously if you can't or don't want to drill holes then it's not a very useful suggestion.
I also have over 3,000 discs stored under my settee, where I've put the discs in flight case style storage boxes (1,000 in each), with the sleeves stored in punched pocket sleeve holders, themselves stored in lever arch files and put in a bookcase. I then got rid of the actual cases. I just don't have the space to put them on display. The ones I put on the shelves are things like box sets, ones with unusual designs or covers, two discs in a case, etc. The ones in the flight cases just had standard cases and standard sleeves. | Posted: Topic Replies: 5, Topic Views: 5070 | | I feel like going out and buying this just to add to whatever annoyance it causes anyone involved in the decision to legitimately release Seasons 1-5 in the UK on Blu-ray and then not bother doing so with the last two seasons. Except £117.94 (Amazon UK) is a lot to pay to make a point that won't even be noticed. 
I had to admit to buying a couple of somewhat suspect box sets recently on eBay that seem to originate in the far east somewhere. But with there being no official physical media releases of these, it doesn't feel a bad thing to do. If the copyright owners, distributors etc want my money, then they know what they need to do and I'd be very happy to pay them for doing so. The quality of the dodgy copies is very good, even down to nice, embossed slip covers and things. | Posted: Topic Replies: 11, Topic Views: 9316 | | Hello Fellow Comrades.
Is there a way to copy disc IDs (either one at a time or as a block) from one profile to another?
In my local collection I like to track TV box sets so they reflect the individual seasons (or group of seasons), where the seasons have their own cases within the box set. Most of these don't have their own UPC and consist of more than one disc, so can't be contributed. Normally when I audit TV box sets I do one version as I've described and one version as a single profile that can be contributed. To do this I record all the disc IDs twice, one for each version, as I go along. However, I've managed to forget to do this for a box set I'm working on at the moment and would rather not go through all the discs one by one to record the missing ones.
Thanks. | Posted: Topic Replies: 0, Topic Views: 1928 | |
