Who’s Who on a Movie Crew assembles the many pieces of a film’s puzzle
Vimeo Video School has put together a quirky animation detailing the different duties and the people who do them on a movie set. As silly as the video is, there’s some good information if you’re new to the game, and it’s presented in a fun style that is half Fallout Vault Boy and half toned down Dr. Suess.
Learn the basics behind a movie crew, and watch the animation after the jump.

Keep in mind that this focuses mostly on the on-set personnel, and even still it doesn’t include every single crew member! Here’s a recap of what we just learned, along with a few extra people peppered in there to round out the list. The amount of people you need to help make your film vary widely from a simple duo to many hundreds of crew members.
