I would remove them.

Ok, maybe I'm missing something but while I can that the Art Director wouldn't be included (wouldn't be surprised if that one was meant to be an 'Other' entry locally)...but the other one I see no problem with.

It's a Visual Effects Supervisor...surely the Executive doesn't negate it's inclusion; but actually emphasizes the job importance. This reminds me of the whole Supervising Producer debacle which resulted in Ken inserting a section into the rules stating that Supervising 'anything' was acceptable within the existing crew roles.

I would treat Executive Visual Effects Supervisor the same as a Chief, Senior or Lead - to me these are just extra part of that person's job title...the important bit here is Visual Effects Supervisor and to leave that out seems rather pedantic to me.

For the crew rules to include every variation of a job title it would have to be many pages longer than it already is. Surely a little common sense and logical thinking is require.

Lastly, I can't remember if I've ever come across this sort of thing...so if I have and I've included them feel free to grab your torches and pitchforks!

Agree with Pantheon.

I wouldn't include Chief, Senior or Lead either.  This isn't a variation of a job title, it is a completely different job title.  Just like Executive Producer is not the same as Producer, Executive Supervisor is not the same as Supervisor.  Photographic Visual Effects, now that would be a variation of a job title.

I've see an AD in VFX company credits on screen, but have never thought about contributing them. Didn't think they were the type of AD that we tracked.

I have a few more episodes to watch and edit the profile. For those who are wondering what profile (Spartacus: Blood and Sand)

As for making it easier, it doesn't get any easier than "if it isn't in the chart, don't include it."  We, those of us with more knowledge, or those of us who think we are using common sense, are the ones that complicate it.  I will demonstrate by going back to your original argument and ask this question...

I've brought this point up before but feel it is important and relevant to this argument.

I know that it is only an addition of a single letter "s" but "Directors", "Editors", "Producers" etc. is NOT listed in the Crew Chart.

Therefore, based on your premiss that "if it isn't in the chart, don't include it." any Crew listed above would not be allowed.

I know that "common sense" tells me that these person(s) should be allowed. But...

I know these are plurals but the chart, if we are to copy things exactly, should list these members as "Director(s)" etc.
