@@Arcademan09 its not a big deal honestly. Its just an honorable mention. If they started putting extras into credits there would be wayyyy too many credits, but there are probably only a few babies born during production if any.

By the way, here in Japan it is actually customary for everyone to sit through all the end credits right to the very end... and yeah, it's a sign of respect ;)
I've worked as an Assistant Director for a while and people outside the industry always thought I was the Director's Assistant... But I kinda get the confusion, since most people think movies are made by 5-10 people...it's hard to comprehend why all these other "extra" positions are needed, unless you've been on a set.
@@MaybeAnnatar is that because of budget concern tho? If you have no money, a small to no crew like that is all you have to work with. It's hard but it's doable just way more frustrating
When I started writing as a kid, I’d go through credits to find names I wanted to use in my stories. I didn’t have money to get baby name books and I didn’t have regular internet access so it was the best I could do. I’ve always been fond of credits for that.
Austin, you’ve actually improved my life aha! I love your goofy videos as they teach me weird facts and straight up cheer me up! Keep it up dude I love it!!! Edit: I’ve never gotten this many likes! Thanks guys
that's what I found funny in "The Florida Project"! It reached "The Room" levels as it was written, produced, directed and edited etc. by Sean Baker! :D He did a good job though :)
If possible, the director is also the cameraman, lighting is wishful thinking, the actors are their own thing, but they do their own makeup and costumes, everyone deals with transport as they can, etc. It mostly just becomes a so it yerself type thing
Agreed! Sit through the credits if you can. Watch them, see the names, appreciate the effort that ALL those people put into it. Filmmaking is amazing and we’re lucky to have it as the art of our time.
Filmmaker IQ did a 25 minute version of this called "who's who im movie credits", where they go more in depth with each role and how they help each other. But I really appreciate this fast-paced 8 min version as a more digestible video. Thanks for the effort Austin! Love your stuff.
Austin I think you finally have gained more of a format for your channel, and not literally the most random things ever. Either well done, or what are you doing, depends on your perspective.
@@PixelatedH2O usually duct tape gets called gaffer tape by people i know, not electrical. my brother didn't work on movies but did stage production for a band for a while. of course both types of tape are highly suitable for keeping lighting cables on the floor, so maybe it's both.
@@kaitlyn__L that's not correct about tape. There's electrical tape, duct tape and gaffers tape. Gaffers tape is wide like duct tape but has more if a cloth backing and is easier to peel up.

A friend of mine is an indie/microbudget filmmaker, and I've helped on a few of her films. My favorite credits story is the time she needed to set up a scene involving a dead body and wasn't sure how to arrange the fake blood. It turned out that the person holding the boom mike (me) had made a study of blood patterns and wound types as part of research for a mystery novel I'd written. So I got handed the fake blood, told how the character had died, and asked to make it look as real as I could. This led to a hilarious conversation later about how I should be credited, since I'd spent most of my time holding the boom but fake blood wasn't in that job description. I ended up in the credits as "boom mike operator/blood consultant". I'm constantly tempted to put it on my resumé (I do not work in the film industry).
I always stay for the credits. It disappoints me when I see people getting up. Every film I see, I sit and watch them as a sign of respect. The work of hundreds, even thousands of people, all for one production. It's humbling. It's my way of thanking them.
The music supervisor you mentioned can also choose and place all songs licensed for the film. Here are a few additional music-related credits: Orchestrator - a composer who specializes in assigning and adapting the notes, instructions, and concepts from the composer’s sketch or computer files onto a full score, laying out every note and its articulation played by every different instrument in a studio orchestra and vocal part in a chorus. Music Preparation - a copyist who converts the full score into practical, individual parts for all the musicians. Contractor - the individual who hires the musicians, some of whom may specialize in exotic styles or instruments. Concertmaster - the leader of the violins who assists the composer as a liaison with the orchestra.
When I first started going to school and decided I wanted to get into film I took an introductory class and the first assignment was to read and count how many people were involved in our favorite movies. Really learned a lot about the effort that everyone puts in and definitely inspired me to go find what part of all that I really wanted to do.
You have no idea how helpful this is! just a suggestion, I hope you're making film making basics like step-by-step on how a film is made from outline to finished product. That'd be great!
2:58 I really want a clapper though... Also, I always wonder what a producer is... cause I'm just that dumb... like, I don't understand the term "Producer", unlike "Director" and "Cast" But thanks to you, I understand more. Thanks Austin!
can’t believe you got the role of a key grip and best boy wrong key grips are in charge of all grip equipment and shaping the light that the gaffer and electrics setup. best boys usually stay at the truck and manages the equipment. you also forgot to include basic grips and electrics who are actually the ones that setup the lights, flags, bounces, etc.
Not 100% sure if this is the case, but Tom Wilson (Biff from back to the future) had a musical comedy act, and had a bit about questions people ask him. And two of the lines were "What does a key grip do? Set up lights. What does a best boy do? Helps the keygrip." So this might be a joke/easter egg.
I always stay for the production babies. To me I think of how hard the creators of these movies worked for those their families. It makes me appreciate the film even more.
I'm an editor and assistant editor in Hollywood thanks for making this! I know nobody watches the credits but it's still nice knowing some ppl wanna learn what all our jobs are :)
Im starting to get into film making with some friends of mine. I live in Springfield, Mo and want to know more about it. This is very helpful. It feels kinda nice seeing someone in the same area understand the struggles i have rn. Plus im starting my own channel and hopefully I get as big as you, Austin.
Knowing a bit about photography, digital design, audio design, and minor other parts of the production line, actually seeing and hearing every single one of the titles listed out really puts everything into perspective for a movie. It makes me go "ohhh, so that's how they woulda taken care of this" cool video! Really informative.
For any person looking to get into film this is the ultimate video to start with. Cause understanding these isn't necessary but a wonderful informative piece to help you not look stupid sometime later down the line
This is one of those things that I've always wondered but never looked into due to laziness. But then when I see a video that shows and explains what I wondered I'm like *FINALLY* someone made this
Can we take a moment to appreciate how fucking badass it sounds to be a “Weapons Master”. It’s probably dealing with paperwork but it’s worth it for the title.
Austin, man you are by far still one of my favorite entertainers. You have a thirst for knowledge and information, and through your entertainment you share and teach others the knowledge you obtain and even share some of the wisdom you've learned. It's entertaining, informative, and respectable.
I watched Detective Pikachu in theaters with my mother, and she commented on the smorgasbord of "digital artists" - while I'm not in the film industry, I'm your casual wannabe digital artist, and I actually try to pick out all the small individual things blended in the background that somebody probably worked super hard on in Photoshop or SAI or Illustrator some other digital drawing tool. What people don't realize is that Jane Doe under Digital Artists worked on the sign for Cherrim Cafe, the Reshiram and Zekrom poster on the wall in Tim's room, and the Tauros bumper sticker on a car in that one shot you couldn't pick out if I spelled it out for you. There are so many individual drawings in a movie with a lot of attention to detail, from posters to newspapers to, in a production in some other world like Pokemon, Harry Potter or Zootopia, everyday things that must be recreated like cafe signs, fake ads and bumper stickers to make the world feel convincing and make everything fit with the environment. There may be some overlap between this and Graphic Artists but that's why there are so damn many Digital Artist credits. Even if you don't notice it, the fact that you could pick things like that out do so much to bring a film's world to life.
I'm one of those rarities that will sit through the credits because I enjoy seeing all the wacky and little jobs people have to do. Thank you for telling me more about what it all means. I did not know Production Babies were a thing.
Credits used to come at the front of films, specifically so that they had to be sat through. In modern times you'll usually only get the main cast at the front, and, more recently, not even that. I kinda like sitting through the credits at the end, especially when I've just had a great experience, and especially when the end credits do something special. The perfect example of both is Return of the King, which had art and a beautiful closing song, and closed out one of the best movie trilogies ever made.
This needs to be shown in every film school just to show students that there's more than just directing and producing out there.
Ben Bergeron why only 4? What generally made people change their minds?
@@bennybbergeron That's wonderful that he did that one the first day! I was just talking about the first year or so when everyone comes in and wants to be a director. Not trying to drag on film school, I was a film major and loved it!

If they've never seen credits before they probably shouldn't be going to film school

Ah, Japan. So Japanese.
That sounds horrible
Lord of the Rings must have been a nightmare series. Those credits are like 15-20 minutes long. Goodness gracious.
Japan has dumb rules you jave to follow. It is 2019. I couldn't care less about tradition.
Japan is the type of nation to sit through blockbuster end credits out of respect but also deny that they killed Chinese people for sport in WW2

Okay okay okay tip 1 for next time, leave the role name on screen whilst you explain ;) *edit. Which will improve learning.
Duuude. I've ALWAYS wondered what some of the end credits positions were.
You're the best man!
Knowing a bit about photography, digital design, audio design, and minor other parts of the production line, actually seeing and hearing every single one of the titles listed out really puts everything into perspective for a movie. It makes me go "ohhh, so that's how they woulda taken care of this" cool video! Really informative.
Cant wait to be a greensman when i grow up!
Can’t wait til I see “SinisterPiggy” as a Greensman in some random movie’s credits some day.
You're my best boy, Austin.
For any person looking to get into film this is the ultimate video to start with. Cause understanding these isn't necessary but a wonderful informative piece to help you not look stupid sometime later down the line
This is one of those things that I've always wondered but never looked into due to laziness. But then when I see a video that shows and explains what I wondered I'm like *FINALLY* someone made this
I had no idea this many jobs could exist in even a blockbuster production!
I got confused in the first 5 seconds of the video
i’m rewatching this because i’m applying to college and i’m interested in film soooo thank you a lot, austin
UA-cam recommended I watch your video about when no one came to your workshop and you did it anyway, this video made me subscribe.
Marvel Fan: Ah..see a story about my pain
You look like an actor who play as a British seaman who gets killed in the opening salvo in a Napoleonic era naval battle scene.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how fucking badass it sounds to be a “Weapons Master”. It’s probably dealing with paperwork but it’s worth it for the title.
Austin, man you are by far still one of my favorite entertainers. You have a thirst for knowledge and information, and through your entertainment you share and teach others the knowledge you obtain and even share some of the wisdom you've learned. It's entertaining, informative, and respectable.
2x is the only true speed :P
I’ve noticed it improves my videos by about 142%.
@@austinmcconnell yeah, the math is a bit strange, but true...
Thank you. I needed this xD
You’re welcome! Hope you’re having a good morning.
@@austinmcconnell it's night over here.
This just gave me a little nostalgia to my first semister of film school
I always love to watch the credits at the end of movies, but there’s always some positions that I know nothing about, so thanks so much for this!
Too much "X Y: X's the Y", needed behind the scenes pics with arrows
Which one of those you mentioned is the hardest job, in your experience?
I watched Detective Pikachu in theaters with my mother, and she commented on the smorgasbord of "digital artists" - while I'm not in the film industry, I'm your casual wannabe digital artist, and I actually try to pick out all the small individual things blended in the background that somebody probably worked super hard on in Photoshop or SAI or Illustrator some other digital drawing tool. What people don't realize is that Jane Doe under Digital Artists worked on the sign for Cherrim Cafe, the Reshiram and Zekrom poster on the wall in Tim's room, and the Tauros bumper sticker on a car in that one shot you couldn't pick out if I spelled it out for you.
There are so many individual drawings in a movie with a lot of attention to detail, from posters to newspapers to, in a production in some other world like Pokemon, Harry Potter or Zootopia, everyday things that must be recreated like cafe signs, fake ads and bumper stickers to make the world feel convincing and make everything fit with the environment. There may be some overlap between this and Graphic Artists but that's why there are so damn many Digital Artist credits. Even if you don't notice it, the fact that you could pick things like that out do so much to bring a film's world to life.
The non meme long annoying comment with just space and troll text.
I love this Austin! Thank you! You really are a *_best boy_*
Who tf is gaffer?
How am i subscribed to this channel?!?
cuz you are
It’s obviously a government conspiracy!
@@austinmcconnell beard
@@austinmcconnell Illuminati are coming for me
It takes so many people to produce a film, no wonder it's always an expensive operation...
Look close enough and you will see "caffeinator" in the credits of every movie. That sounds like a great job honestly 👍
Never had 90% of those jobs for my school project and still gets class’ acclaim.
So sick of this original content, please make worser content.
Obviously just kidding mate. These videos are amazing! Keep it up
We always watch the credits after the movie and try to find the funniest names. You did a good job with assisting the key grip there Jenny Tulworts!
I'm one of those rarities that will sit through the credits because I enjoy seeing all the wacky and little jobs people have to do. Thank you for telling me more about what it all means.
I did not know Production Babies were a thing.
This channel is so raw, I love the diversity of videos that are present here. It's like an unfiltered, informational Facebook feed
Credits used to come at the front of films, specifically so that they had to be sat through. In modern times you'll usually only get the main cast at the front, and, more recently, not even that. I kinda like sitting through the credits at the end, especially when I've just had a great experience, and especially when the end credits do something special. The perfect example of both is Return of the King, which had art and a beautiful closing song, and closed out one of the best movie trilogies ever made.
I love this I'm a filmmaker and I'm gonna show this to my extended family members who all still don't understand what I do lol
Wow Austin McConnel Very Informative video, Thank you for sharing.
