Note on employees and talents

Employees and talent are separate ID spaces in the Luminate Film and TV database. Employee refers to someone who works for a company. Talent refers to someone who is credited as working on a project (cast, crew, executive).

For example, Brad Pitt who has many credits in Film and TV also is a founder of Plan B Entertainment. In this case, his talent ID is 17297, which is the ID that would be used in any appearances in the TV/Film Projects credits columns such as CAST or AUSPICES. His employee ID is 35867 which would be present in the Companies view.

Luminate Film and TV provides RELATED_TALENT_ID in VW_EMPLOYEES_DS to help connect people between these ID spaces.
