I know we discussed this before, but I can't find it. Does anyone remember the outcome of that discussion? I am asking because I am auditing UPC88392938862 Jupiter Ascending and 3 of the studios listed do not have roles associated with them. There is a 4th one that has about 239 names listed but has not been entered.

My question is, should I remove the 3 lists of just names with no roles or add the 1 list that has been skipped?

Personally I would just enter the department heads (supervisor or whatever) if I was creating a profile for such a movie. Large groups of visual effects people with no specified function are meaningless, in my opinion.

But should you remove those that have already been entered? I probably would leave them as they are without adding any more. But if you feel that that is not an option, then I'd say remove them rather than adding hundreds more.

Agree with Gunnar. And normally I remove unspecified visual effects crew.

I think this is the topic you were looking for.

The outcome was not listing a group of people listed under a (company) header without a specific job description. In my opinion only the crew with a specific job description (Designer, Supervisor, and Director, Special Photographic Effects) are valid.

What I don't understand is why the majority still wants to list a group of special effects crew without a proper job description as discussed in this topic.

Thanks guys, I'm going to remove the lists with no roles, which includes everyone under "Visual Effects by Company Name" and contribute. We'll see where it goes.

We add a lot of ADR people without roles. Same thing imo.
