| | Posted: | | | | I think the "costume designer" field might be changed to something a little more generic like "Costumes" not everyone is a designer. |

| | Posted: | | | | As stated in the other thread I personally feel this is a terrible idea.
All it will serve to do is water down the credit to include people who are not as important. The proposed rule change for Costumes is much better. |

| | Posted: | | | | Agreed. The generic title of "Costumes" could include the people who hand out the clothes from storage. That's hardly any artistic contribution. I think the intent is to include someone who contributed to the choice of costume, not just someone who had an occasion to handle the merchandise. This seems to me to be similar to why we don't include camera operators as either Directors of Photography or Cinematographers. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

| | Posted: | | | | Fully agree. The last thing we need is a further expansion of the Art Department, IMHO. |

| | Posted: | | | | In an ideal world (Mine  ) once the supreme costume person(s) are found the rest is worthless. Is a Costume Designer credited? Great, that's enough. I only bother with Costume Supervisors (i'm picturing someone with a clipboard inventorying tunics) and their ilk if a Designer is not present. So please, No. | | | | Bad movie?

So please, No. I tend to agree with you. But the rules don't say to include Costume Supervisors ONLY if there's no Costume Designer credited. So if someone wants to add those other jobs that are allowed under the rules, I can't find a reason to vote against it. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)
