Quote: Or we could look at the fact that they are almost always listed in the crew section of the credits of most movies. That tells me that the filmmakers consider them to be part of the crew regardless of their union affiliations. The reason ADR performers are listed later in credit listings has more to do with their status and less to do with whether they're crew or not. Refer to my earlier posts in this thread for more on this.
KM That's your interpretation. Mine is different. | | | Hal |

KM As I understand it, you work in the industry. If I am mistaken, please feel free to correct me. While I know a lot about Studio history, I do not know a lot about cast/crew hierarchy so, I appreciate your giving us that information. In addition, and it may have been lost due to the tone of this thread, it is quite clear that you are not saying they are allowed per the rules. You are simply saying IF Ken decides to track them that, in your opinion, it should be as cast instead of crew. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Or even a third option, since they don't comfortably fit into the cast category either. Perhaps a "Performers" tab, where ADR performers, stunt doubles, stand-ins, body doubles, dancers, extras, etc. could be tracked. I'm not sure that I care about that kind of data, and I suspect I wouldn't contribute to that part of a profile all that often, but for those that care about that stuff it might be a wortwhile addition to the rules and program.

| Posted: | | | | I really don't like the idea of going into that much detail. If we start including all those performers, people will start to argue that the crew should be added in the same kind of detail. Eventually we're going to end up with typing the whole lot in - no one left out. |

You don't have to enter the sound department if you don't feel like it, or make-up, or visual effects, etc. |

| Posted: | | | | It seems to me that if someone is listed in the credits with the rolename of a character that appeared in the film, that they are part of the cast. If, instead of a rolename, they are listed with a function, such as ADR Voice, then they are part of the crew. | | | Hal |

| Posted: | | | | It was not I who decided to enter Additional Voices, I would NOT have listed them as Cast Members since they are usually separated from the cast, same is typically true of dancers. But Hal's description of ADR Voice is correct that is not a role it is a function. Additional Voice could be interpreted either way and were it me I would have called it a function and NOT a Role, unless it was actually a part of the Cast list.

I have spent some time looking at the role and definition of ADR, and in most cases it is described as a dubbing/looping exercise produced by a sound departement post filming. Therefore I would vote for these to be crew. However, personally I would prefer them to not be entered into profiler, at the moment their entry is skating close to breaking the rules, and I believe the addition of them if deemed acceptable into either cast or crew should only come after a change in the rules or a declaration from Ken/Gerri. | | | |

Just to be clear, I'm not advocating that they be entered as crew, only that they perform a crew function and should not be part of the cast. | | | Hal |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting Dr Pavlov: Quote: It was not I who decided to enter Additional Voices Was it decided? I'm not arguing - I'm sincerely interested. Especially since filmmakers use the terms "loop group", "adr group" and "additional voices" interchangeably, it seems strange to allow one but not the other. So I'd be very interested to see where this was decided - you seem sure, so maybe you can provide a link? It'd be much appreciated. |
