But - if you look at the rules nowhere does it state 'Do NOT include Additional anything' - whereas the rules DO state to exclude Co-anything.

I liked this argument and transferred it to my microwave.

While I can find a "Do not put live animals into the microwave", nobody explicitly disallows the peeing into it ... still I wouldn't do it

I have never used Additional Cast in my contributions before, but now I read this topic I wonder, because the rules says: "Use Group dividers to designate cast grouped in the credits such as "Soldiers" or "Additional Cast". So why not contribute Additional Crew?.

Quote:
I agree with KinoNiki that the Cast rules should not be transferred to Crew rules.

Simply look at the Crew table and rules and you will see that there is nothing excluding the inclusion of Additional crew.

Each of the crew referred to in the opening post were listed with specific jobs that match the Crew table exactly: Sound Re-Recording Mixer and Supervising Sound Editor...they just happened to be under a heading of Additional Crew.

I would possibly understand an argument for their exclusion if they were listed as:
Additional Re-Recording Mixer
Additional Supervising Sound Editor

...but even then the rules do not exclude their inclusion.

This profile was the first time I had ever come across this situation - so I checked the rules before I removed these people from the profile.
I couldn't find anything in the rules to allow their removal so I left them in the profile.

T!M could also find nothing in the rules to exclude them - which is why he has started this thread to gain the support of the forum.
However, as has been mentioned many times over the last few weeks - this forum has absolutely no power over the rules; so it doesn't really matter what we think.

Okay, so here's a film where the end credits show the full array of sound crew: production sound, supervising sound editor, and re-recording. But then, after all that, somewhere deep down in the end credits, there's this:

ADDITIONAL SOUND

<name> Supervising Sound Editors
<name>

<name> Re-Recording Mixer

Do these people get a credit in DVD Profiler? If not (I'm a big fan of the "no additional anything" principle), then fine. But if you say "yes", then please also indicate whether you'd be in favour of using an "Additional Sound" group divider, too.

The rules say, "Also use Group dividers for crew teams, included only if the crew meets the other listing requirements."  It could certainly be argued that this is a 'crew team' so, based on my reading of the rules, absent a statement from Ken, they seem to be allowed.

It can be argued that they are a crew team, but you ignore the part that say that they have to meet the listing requirements, so the divider rule can't be used in this argument. The Divider rule only specifies that you can use a divider IF the crew are allowed (in another part of the rules)

Back in October you argued that an Additional Sound Editor isn't allowed, and since the sound editor in this is example is under the header additional sound, he is also an additional sound editor.

The fact they are under an 'Additional Crew' header shouldn't make any difference.

I disagree. If the header had been '2nd unit' it would have made all the difference.
