Voyager Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Several corps have added caption supervisors to their staff, what is the difference? What does a caption supervisor do that a caption head does not? I know what a caption head does, but was is the role of a caption supervisor?

What does a caption supervisor do that a caption head does not? I know what a caption head does, but was is the role of a caption supervisor? It's different for each corps. Sometimes the supervisor serves as a consultant. Sometimes they can't make the full commitment for the season so when they are there they become the top dog. Sometimes it's political, some one who is behind the scenes. Sometimes it's some one who is stepping down and grooming some one else to be in charge. Someone to over see design or to be the guy that comes in from time to time to be a fresh set of ears. It's whatever they want to be. Or visa versa. The supervisor could be the everyday guy runnning the show and the caption head could be the name its not always clear cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond that, I think it's another way to make the activity more expensive to the members and corps.

dsb2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) In some instances it is one of at least EVERYTHING that has been mentioned in the posts preceding mine. What has failed to be mentioned though is that in some instances...the two terms are completely synonymous and mean the exact same thing. I.e. in some corps, "Caption Superviser" is just another way of wording "Caption Head". One and the same. Just like how Carolina Crown calls their staff "Faculty" instead of "Staff". There is no difference in the two terms. Just a different wording. BUT...every corps is different and in some cases, "Caption Superviser" means something different. It all depends on the corps. I don't think these terms have a universal definition. Edited September 25, 2007 by dsb2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob J Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I think if a corps wants to add a talented staff member, they will. If that means making up a new staff title, oh well. This is common practice in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vferrera Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 The caption supervisor is in charge of the caption night shift manager. The caption head is the room on a boat or airplane where the caption makes wee-wee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but most staffs get paid very little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
