| | Posted: | | | | this may have been asked before, but here it goes
In the credits, you go by the main movie credits, then always near the end they will have something like;
Visual effect by {company}
visual effect superviser {name}
etc
Special effect by {company}
individual credit
individual credit
etc
Do we credit the appropriate rolls within the individual companies in the credit list? |

| | Posted: | | | | I did a poll in the Contribution Rules Committee forum asking the following question.
To allow certain employees of Visual Effects Companies to be credited
Results so far:
Yes, but ONLY for those that are currently allowed by the rules (6)
No, nobody who is credited under a Visual Effects header should be allowed (2)
No, I would like to eliminate the Visual Effects category all together (3)
Don't Care (2)
Other (1)
Seems that those that took part in the poll do want those credited under a visual effects company to be included as long as they are currently allowed by the rules.
So for your first example, I would say yes since the role is clearly listed in the current rules.
But the second example is more questionable.
If all it is is a list of names under a company header I would say no because it's unclear exactly what they did on the film. They could be anything from supervisors, animators, technicians and the like. Since they aren't credited with a specified role I would leave them out.
However I have seen a few credits that reads something like "Visual Effects by Don Smith & Larry Chair of Smith Chair Effects". For that kind of credit I would include them since the credit reads "Visual Effects by". |

| | Posted: | | | | I've been including the names under headers only if they have a title like "producer", "director" or "supervisor". Now if it's a header and a list of names without job titles, then they all get left out. It's a nice blend between the rules and common sense.  | | | | Last edited: by bigdaddyhorse |
