 >Other than "act", and take credit for everybody else's jobs

 Well...just listing the industrially-recognized occupations
 currently clogging modern movie credits (and eliminating most
 assistant duties and many fields that I consider duplicative):

 Some of these occupations were of course also worked by others,
 during our principal production.  Jittlov did not do everything.
 (Until later.)

 All ego aside (sure...), no one has ever done more to create a
 feature film - not in the entire history of motion pictures.  Not
 even George Melies, Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, or Jerry Lewis.
 And Steven Spielberg can't draw storyboards.  So there. :p

 I hope to someday re-list the above, with a brief explanation of
 what these occupations mean.  For instance:

 Producer:  a misnomer, he/she seldom ever "produces" anything
            (ie - pulls a miracle out of a hat); lately, more of an
            "arranger", and sometimes a coordinator.  (I declined
            the credit at the film's front credits, since I thought
            it was not a little egotistic - I'm all the way through
            the movie, as myself.  But studio executives apparently
            do take this area quite seriously, and usually read it
            in their screening rooms just before they fall asleep
            or start taking phonecalls.)

 Dog Double:  we needed a policedog, on a non-dog-day.  It was a
            longshot, of the two thugs wildly driving their police
            car while being attacked by a surprise dog in the back
            seat.  We needed the shot.  After instructing cameraman
            Russ and the actors, I got in the back seat with my old
            corduroy coat, and put my arms up its sleeves, in the
            shape of a policedog.  Action!  BarkSnarlCareenWoofWoof
            etcetera.  It worked, we saved $500, and I got another
            weird credit.
