Definitely no open credits - a silly idea for cataloging consistent roles such as most that we have.

Agree with Lopek on this one, but I want to add a few roles:
Created by (when the actual credit says created by. Mostly TV series)
Theme music (Also mostly TV series or film series)
Costume Designer

Yes, created by is an important role (In my mind anyway). What would Star Trek have been whit out Gene Roddenberry. All of Star Trek which he was not involved is based on his work.
And I voted for Leave it the way it is but add more categories (list in your post). I have seen some good requests. I would also like to have "Produced by" and "Supervising producer".

Skip beat me to it but those are already in place. Interesting that you missed it with all the shoehorning going on in the producer field.

And how do we credit these? Produced by can't be handled by Producer. Cause he is not a ordinary producer. And I have been watching the forum. I can't imagine how I missed where we can use Supervising producer. Do we credit those as Executive Producer? As Producer?

Could you give me a link to the forum where this has been decided Dan W?

(and for the record, this post is not an insult. I think I must point this out every time from now on. Since I have been accused to be insulting.)

I don't suppose you ever read the rules on this one because it was put in place with the rules.
Click the link below and scroll down to Producer.

Thanks Dan W. I have missed that one. But still I would like to have Supervising producer. Since this is not handled in the rules.

Would those of you who would like to see additional fields or categories added to the current list, please offer up a method of adding those using the current system?


This one isn't overly difficult to add...
Casting

but these, using the current system, are near impossible.
Costume Design
Makeup
Special Effects
Set Decoration
Theme credit - music
Created by (when the actual credit says created by. Mostly TV series)

I don't see the problem.
Costume Design goes under the category Art to people credited with Costumes or Costume Design
Makeup would also go under Art to those credited with "makeup"
Set decoration would also go under Art to those credited with "set decoration"
Created by goes in the category Writing to those that are credited with "Created by" (and only that)
Theme music goes in the category "Music" and people credited with theme

No idea about Special Effects though

As I said, I don't see the problem. Maybe I missed your point completely though.

Supervising Producer is handled by the current list. It just isn't specifically listed. It goes under Executive Producer.

Why? I don't see it as the same job and since neither the rule nor the application itself mentions Supervising Producers I don't think that Supervising Producers should be credited as executive producers.

Agreed I never have seen a forum consensus or rule change or program change that has stated Supervising Producer = Executive Producer.  I have nothing against it if it is in the rules or even a statement from Ken saying it's okay. 

Dan can you enlighten us where this change was allowed?

So, everyone with a "Make-up" credit should go under make-up? That is what you said.

All "set decoration" credited people should go under "Set Decorator"?

Costume Design goes under .....


Would you offer your justification for your proposal using Pan's Labrynth? Specifically who goes and who stays please. I would also like to see your list for Planet of the Apes.
