APPENDIX II This book, in common with recent publications dealing with motion pictures, sets 276 as the number of arts, professions, and vocations required in making motion pictures within a large film studio. As a matter of fact, if we added isolated professions and vocations used perhaps once a year, the list would rise to four hundred or more. Examples of such professions or vocations more infrequently used are beekeepers, butterfly experts, tropical fish experts, men who can cook Hawaiian poi, men who can operate outrigger canoes, native style, pearl divers, and many more. A list of 276 regularly used employees follows: Accountant, cost Battery maker Accounting machine operator repair man Actors Barber Adding machine operator Baritone Advertising, copy writer Bass violin player layout man Basso Ager, clothes Beaders, wardrobe department settings Blacksmith Alto, singer Boat builder Amplification board operator, captain, sail sound recording steam Architect engineer, Diesel Arrangers, music steam Artificial flower maker Bookkeeper Artist, mosaic Bricklayer sketch or oils Bus boy, restaurant Associate producers Butcher Auditor Buyer Auto mechanic, new cars Cabinet maker old cars Cameraman, assistant Aviator color camera head Baker operative Bandsaw operator, construction still [296]
