| Editing Guidelines |
|
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films
- Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development.
To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met:
- Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.)
- Film infobox ({{infobox film}})
- Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.)
- Plot summary
- Include cast and crew information.
- At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.)
- Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))
Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF
Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

I honestly think that jib / crane ops occupy a seperate world entirely, since their specialization requires familiarity with an entirely different set of equipment. It's like saying that since both grip and lighting departments have stands, they're the same thing. Sure, some dollies have hydraulic arms, but that's not going to put them in the same world as a guy behind a technocrane, right?

Crane ops are definately a distinct specialization, but they are definately grips. When I dayplay a crane, I will put my dolly grip on the base when the crane is on track. Dolly grips and crane ops are brothers, where electricians are cousins, you follow? That said, I think crane ops should have thier own stub in Wikipedia. Even brothers need thier own rooms...

UH I THINK THIS PAGE NEEDS AN EDIT (See Reference about a "Game" in the article...)
--- Actually, on feature films (Ive done over 60) and television shows, the A Dolly Grip is also the crane operator. Sometimes he will elect to turn it over to his B camera dolly grip just to get a break. When a Technocrane shows up, union rules define it as a grip operator job, normally the dolly grip although the crane tech (a camera local member strangely enough) may be asked to operate the "pickle" (the in and out switch). I do know Dolly Grips who operate the arm and the pickle at the same time (not easy)[] ( 17:14, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
