Unit Production Assistant should be categorized under Location Management
The Unit Production Assistant position is actually part of the Locations department on a film, but IMDB currently has it categorized as Miscellaneous Crew. Now that IMDB has added a Locations Management category it would be more appropriate to move the Unit Production Assistant category under Locati

Why no Grip Department category
Does anybody else find it strange that there is no classification for the Grip Department in the crew listing on a Film or TV Show? The Grips are found in a category of Camera and Electric. While Grips work closely with the Camera and Electric departments, they are a separate and well recognized dep

Other Crew section of credits actually split into departments
I find it really frustrating that there are still major departments that are listed as "other crew" on the IMDb credits.

more departments to better cover video games
I appreciate that IMDB is primarily a movie/tv dbase, but it does have support for, and a LOT of entries of, Video games.

Set Decoration as its own category
We, as Set Decorators, and those who work with us in our (own unique) department, would like to be separate from the Art Department. The Set Decorator, as a department head, makes his or her own hiring decisions and our crew members should be grouped with us, please.
