| | Posted: | | | | The rules say Sound Designer credited as Sound Designer or Sound Design and not Co-Anything, yet the program says "(Sound Designer, Sound Design, Co-Sound Designer)". Which one is correct?  | | | Martin Zuidervliet

| | Posted: | | | | Those hints within the program were never updated for v3.5.x.
I'd go with the Rules. | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

I sometimes feel we're to paranoid over "co-" anyway: for instance, I've seen several films where the only sound editing credits are two people credit under a "co-supervising sound editors" header. In absence of any other sound editing credits, it's obvious that the "co-" just refers to them doing the job together. Giving the right people the proper credit for the job they performed seems preferable over listing no sound editors at all. But hey, that's just me. |

It is. As it is, since "Co-Sound Designer" is specifically listed as an allowed credit in the program, I'd enter it if I encountered such a credit. While the program note cites Co-Sound Designer as allowed the Rules specifically say no Co- Anything for the Sound section. If you decide to use the program notes for Sound Design over the Rules then there are a lot of Crew roles with No notes. In those cases should only the explicit roles listed in the program be allowed to supersede the Rules? That could be argued. The two obviously contradict each other in this case. I don't think the contradiction should be used as a way to dodge Rules we may not agree with. | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree, tweeter. In view of the standatd that was set from Day One, Ken clearly had the hiccups, hopefully he will read this thread and rectify this issue soonest. I would not and will not use Co-Anything as long as that prohibition remains intact.

| | Posted: | | | | The expert (StefColosi), who ones proposed the inclusing of the sound credits, said in the IVS Beta Release Testing Forum that "Co-sound design(er)" was removed and we shouldn't bother. So now it's clear to me that the program hint for that credit was just a left over from his final proposal and should have been removed. | | | Martin Zuidervliet

It is, once again, the difference between collecting data just for the sake of collecting data, or actually giving the right people the proper credit for the job they performed. |

| | Posted: | | | | The specific overrules the general, when interpreting rules, so I would say that (until Ken changes it) you do not put in co-anything EXCEPT you may put in co-Sound Designers. | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

| | Posted: | | | | I have thought the same thing about Co-Whatever just meaning that these Whatevers just shared the same role. Then I run across a title which has Co-Executive Producers AND Executive Producers. In this case, there must be some difference in hierarchy between the Co-EXPs and the EXPs. It isn't safe to assume anything, so the rule against Co-Anything makes sense. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)
