Discuss Orphan Black

@lineker & @marr

Can you please help me again with some crew jobs I can't find here on TMDb, and a few other questions? I gathered all screen credits from season 1 of "Orphan Black" and updated the cast and crew. However, the following points are all my open questions at the moment:


1.) Like last time I made a list of crew jobs with trivial differences between them and TMDb labels - all those seem okay to me (on the left=screen credit -> on the right=label on TMDb):

Created by -> Creator
Production Designer -> Production Design
Edited by -> Editor
Costume Designer -> Costume Design
Music Composed by -> Original Music Composer
Produced By -> Producer
Written by -> Writer
Directed by -> Director
"A" Camera Operator -> Camera Operator
Steadicam -> Steadicam Operator
"B" Camera Operator -> Camera Operator
"A" Camera First Assistant -> First Assistant Camera
"B" Camera First Assistant -> First Assistant Camera
Art Director -> Art Direction
Props Master -> Property Master
Set Decorator -> Set Decoration
Re-Recording Mixer -> Sound Re-Recording Mixer
VFX Producer -> Visual Effects Producer

If all are okay, just skip/ignore this point! wink


2.) I can't find matching TMDb labels for the following screen credits:

Story Coordinator ->
Assistant Location Manager ->
First Assistant Accountant ->
Executive Producer's Assistant ->
"A" Camera Second Assistant ->
"B" Camera Second Assistant ->
Camera Trainee ->
Data Management Tech ->
First Assistant Art Director ->
Graphic Designer ->
Best Boy Grip ->
Key Scenic ->
Scientific Consultant ->
First Assistant Picture Editor ->
Music Supervisor ->

Any idea to any of these? If not, I'll add them to the big job topic (I think some of them are already mentioned via "The Good Fight/Wife" credits that were missing).


3.) There are some credits that are special and/or very long and I have no idea how to contribute these here (the best is probably to ignore them ...):

3.1.) Forrest & Forrest CDC -> Casting

This is a casting firm of 2 casting directors, Susan and Sharon Forrest. I can't credit the firm, but I could credit both casting directors instead. Would that be okay?

3.2.) Two Fingers -> Main Title Theme Composed and Performed by

Is there a TMDb label for theme songs/compositions? Or could I use "sound music" here? Even if I could, this is a band's name, to be more precisely, Two Fingers is the musical alter-ego of electronic musician Amon Tobin. So, I could probably credit Amon Tobin, but is there a TMDb label for that?

3.3.) John Nelles -> Dialogue Coach

I can't find a label for this, but the weird thing is that this credit is always the last credit in the CAST (not the CREW) on screen. So, you see all the actors/actresses, and then this dialogue coach appears always at the end as the last cast member. I don't understand why, but I could - theoretically - add him as a season regular to the cast (not the crew). I've never seen something like that before, though - and he's not an actor ... so, what to do?

3.4.) Andrea Boyd -> Executive in Charge of Production for Temple Street Productions

I have no idea what her job title could be?!?

3.5.) Near the end of the credits, there's this longer credit, followed by 9 different names:

"Developed with the participation of the Canadian Film Centre's Story Editor Residents: [9 different names]"

So, these 9 people are all story editors, but not for the show, in fact. Again, I have no idea how to credit those people - and there's already a different story editor credited before.

3.6.) At the end of the credits, there are specifics about the production companies with a lot of important names, personal titles etc. I don't think we have to credit those, but I drop this here and you could take a quick look if there's anything important in it at all (I don't think so):

Produced and Developed in Association with Bell Media
Trish Williams -> Executive in Charge of Production for Bell Media
Gosia Kamela -> Executive in Charge of Production for Bell Media
Corrie Coe -> Senior Vice President, Independent Production

For Bell Media
Beverley Bettens -> Business and Legal Affairs
Scott Henderson -> Vice President, Communications
Catherine Macleod -> Vice President, Specialty Channels
Rick Brace -> President, Specialty Channels and CTV Production
Phil King -> President, CTV Programming and Sports

For Temple Street Productions
Samantha Traub -> Vice President, Business & Legal Affairs
Amanda Mathieson -> Vice President, Finance
Laura Harbin -> Senior Director, Scripted Programming
Kelly Jenkins -> Director, Business Affairs
Robin Reelis -> Director, Production
John Young -> Managing Director


4.) Tatiana Maslany plays a lot of different characters in the show, and I saw in the change history that, at first, someone credited her with "Various Characters". @Banana changed this a few weeks ago into:

"Sarah / Cosima / Alison / Helena".

The problem is, those are only 4, the full credit (as of now!) looks like this (in order of appearance):

"Sarah Manning / Elizabeth "Beth" Childs / Katja Obinger / Alison Hendrix / Cosima Niehaus / Helena / Rachel Duncan / Jennifer Fitzsimmons / Tony Zwickey / Krystal Goderitch / MK"

Could this long credit cause problems somewhere, somehow?!? I would like to keep it this long, because that's the correct form.


I think these are all my questions. I'm hoping to update all the other seasons, too, until June - but I'm not sure there's enough time. My clones won't work for free, so I have do to all on my own ... weary

Best wishes,

janar
