The crew assignment window in the program lists 'song' as one of the appropriate roles for OMB. I always saw this as being for a film that was based on a song. 'Ode to Billie Joe' is the film that comes to mind. Others include, but are not limited to...

Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

Actually, I believe we all known that for an "Original Material By" credit, the only thing that is required in the crew chart is "Adapted from another medium" (direct quote from the chart). It does not matter what the person who created the original material is credited as - that part of the chart is empty. You are correct according to common sense. But the rule explicitly say otherwise. But I'm positive that they will be corrected soon. |

| | Posted: | | | | If I'm crediting OMB for a musical stage production, I'll go ahead and credit book and music (Rogers and Hammerstein, for example) as OMB. The bottom line here is that the original work was a co-created piece which the film credits acknowledge. Remove either the book or the music and you don't have an original work to base this on. Why we would somehow attempt to parse this out in Profiler-land to purposely sever the relationship baffles me. |
