| | Posted: | | | | I wanted to establish the common name for visual effects supervisor Jean-François (Jafaz) Ferland, with way too many name variants (it's not at all unlikely that I've missed some). JEAN-FRANÇOIS (JAFAZ) FERLAND ( 7 titles, 7 confirmed) - Les affamés (confirmed by T!M) - La belle et la bête (confirmed by greyghost) - The House With a Clock in Its Walls (confirmed by mreeder50) - Late Night (confirmed by T!M) - Life Itself (confirmed by greyghost) - National Champion$ (confirmed by huskersports) - Wonderstruck (confirmed by T!M and Nosferatu) JEAN-FRANÇOIS "JAFAZ" FERLAND ( 7 titles, 3 confirmed) - Deadfall - Imaginaerum - Juste la fin du monde - Long Shot (confirmed by T!M) - Mommy (confirmed by T!M) - Tom à la ferme - Turbo Kid (confirmed by greyghost) JEAN-FRANÇOIS FERLAND ( 6 titles, 2 confirmed) - Boychoir (confirmed by T!M) - La chute de l'empire américain - Game of Death - The High Note (confirmed by T!M) - Laurence Anyways - The Death & Life of John F. Donovan JEAN-FRANÇOIS ("JAFAZ") FERLAND ( 1 title, 1 confirmed) - Arrival (confirmed by T!M and Nosferatu) J-F (JAFAZ) FERLAND ( 1 title, 1 confirmed) - Devil's Gate (confirmed by T!M) JF FERLAND ( 1 title, 1 confirmed) - Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning: Part One (confirmed by mreeder50) The CLT also shows a lone Canadian DVD with an alledged acting credit for a "Jean-François Ferland". It doesn't seem to be this visual effects supervisor, seems unlikely, but I can't be entirely sure, so I thought I'd mention it. | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

| | Posted: | | | | National Champion$: Jean-François (Jafaz) Ferland | | | My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it! |

| | Posted: | | | | Turbo Kid --> JEAN-FRANÇOIS FERLAND cast credit  Since he was a crew member on this film, vary likely this is the same person . There are 10 profiles from various localities which include this credit. (For some reason most of them include the header "Visual Effects - Curious" in the CLT results. Probably due to the requirement not to not include a Group End if no group follows.) | | | | Registered: February 10, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | I was checking the film Devil's Gate (2017) credits as IMDB also has an acting credit for that film (not credited in cast). However at the beginning of the end credits this appears:  as well as the later credit  | | | | Registered: February 10, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | So in 'Devil's Gate' he's credited as visual effects supervisor in the opening credits as Jean-François Ferland and again in the end credits as J-F (Jafaz) Ferland. How would you suggest I reflect that in this list? Films where the same crew members are credited, for the same jobs, in both the opening and the closing credits, are not exactly rare, that happens quite a lot actually, certainly in what you'd call "foreign" films. I've always been told that we don't list the same crew members doing the same job twice, and that the opening credits take precedence. Do you agree?
And now that there are acting credits for this guy, it may become more likely that the Jean-François cast entry in 'Screeem', a short film in the database under UPC 622406-221690, also belongs to him. Looking at that profile, Anouk Whissell appears in 'Screeem' as well - Anouk Whissell being one of the writer-directors of 'Turbo Kid', that our Mr. Ferland worked on as well. So there *is* a connection there... | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

| | Posted: | | | | No, in the end credits of Devil's Gate he is credited twice, once near the beginning of them without a company header and later with a company header. | | | | Registered: February 10, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | Not sure how you can say Jean-François Ferland is the common name with only 4 confirmed credits vs. 6 confirmed for Jean-François (Jafaz) Ferlan.
May i also suggest you refrain form making contributions for common names while the CN has not been established yet as you’ve done now for Arrival thrice… |

Not sure how you can say Jean-François Ferland is the common name with only 4 confirmed credits vs. 6 confirmed for Jean-François (Jafaz) Ferlan. It's simply a matter of counting the titles. It'd be great if all titles were all confirmed, sure, but it isn't written anywhere that they *have* to. There's always a common name today. As always, things may be different tomorrow, but today, the title count favors Jean-François Ferland. If it's different tomorrow, rest assured that I'll be among the first ones to fix my profiles. | | | | Last edited: by T!M |
