| | Posted: | | | | Came across a series with two crew credits I've never seen before:
Head Writer and Guest Costume Designer
There are also "normal" credits for a costume designer and a writer.
The existing profile in the online database has both roles as valid credits but I would say both should be invalid.
What's your opinion? | | | Think different
Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end. |

| | Posted: | | | | If head writer is the one supervising the writers of TV series, he should be valid from my point of view. | | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) |

| | Posted: | | | | Probably both valid IMO. Sin City has Tarantino as a "Guest Director" for one scene and he is on all the profiles, why not a costumer? |

What's your opinion? Is it a costume designer that is a guest or a costume designer for a guest. as for Tarantino's guest director credit, it is lower than a 2nd unit director. |

| | Posted: | | | | Indeed. Tarantino's guest director entries seem to be rooted in a feeling of "hey, I recognize that guy, so I want to track this credit", yet his contribution here *really* shouldn't qualify for an equal "Director" credit with actual directors Miller and Rodriguez. This seems to be a prime example of where the custom, local-only "Other" crew category is for - a brilliant addition which I use a lot. Since we've got that, there's really no more need to shoehorn credits in where they don't really belong. |
