In the US and Canada, grips may belong to the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees . The art department in a major feature film can often number hundreds of people. Usually it is considered to include several sub-departments: the art department proper, with its art director, set designers and draftsmen; set decoration, under

These include the film's producers and executive producers and production office staff such as the production manager, the production coordinator, and their assistants; the various assistant directors; the accounting staff and sometimes the locations manager and their assistants. Since the turn of the 21st century, several additional professionals are now routinely listed in

170-453: A film after the initial media attention surrounding its release has begun to wane. The award is similar to the Dutch music industry's Golden Record, that is awarded after selling 40,000 singles, 35,000 popular music albums, or 15,000 classical music albums.

204-567: A film before filming. It is also a concept in still photography. It is also used to describe techniques such as storyboarding , either in the form of charcoal sketches or in digital technology, in the planning and conceptualization of film scenes.

238-409: A general plotline and let the actors improvise dialogue, while others control every aspect, and demand that the actors and crew follow instructions precisely.

The exact number of murders committed by

306-638: A separate story department in which storyboard artists painstakingly develop scenes to make sure they make sense before they are actually animated. However, since the turn of the 21st century, modern 3D computer graphics and computer animation have made possible a level of rich detail never seen before. Many animated films now have specialized artists and animators who act as the virtual equivalent of lighting technicians, grips, costume designers, props masters, set decorators, set dressers, and cinematographers. They make artistic decisions strongly similar to those of their live-action counterparts, but implement them in

340-446: A single animation department made up of various types of animators (character, effects, in-betweeners, cleanup, etc.). In traditional animation , the nature of the medium meant that everything was literally flattened into the drawn lines and solid colors that became the characters, making nearly all live-action positions irrelevant. Because animation has traditionally been so labor-intensive and thus expensive, animation films normally have
