Anderson ILM Visual Effects Supervisor - Scott Squires Boss Film Visual Effects Supervisor - Jim Rygiel Another Question about Visual Effects Crew...

| | Posted: | | | | Ok, I missed the money aspect for prodcuer  As I'm already on it... "Starship Troopers" again... "Asteroid Grazing Visual Effects Sequence by Boss Film Studios Visual Effects Supervisor - David M. Jones Digital Effects Supervisor - Thomas Dadras ... Visual Effects Producer - Gayle Busby ..." I saw this always more on the effects-making and not money side |

I wouldn't credit them. They each only worked on parts of the movie, making them kinda like unit crew and we don't do unit crew. But that's just me. I wouldn't add them myself but I wouldn't vote against the change either. | | |

We could reduce the credits to a nice neat Director/Writers/Producers/Film Editors. I like it!   Edit: i personally have no issue with the credits proposed. | | | | Bad movie?

| | Posted: | | | | According to the rules they are 'Individual Credits' and Visual Effects Supervisors is one of the listed allowed credits to be entered.
The only thing not allowed to be entered into the credits is the Company itself, so ILM or Boss Film Studios can't be credited (well they could, but be kept local).
If these were to be treated as Unit Crew then should we carry this over to the Sound Crew as well? Because quite a few Sound Crew are sometimes listed under a company header as well. I can think of one right off of my head, Skywalker Sound.
If we were to treat any crew listed under a Company Header then many of the Sound Crew may have to be removed because I have seen quite a few listed under companies such as Skywalker Sound. |

| | Posted: | | | | My point of view:
No credits for sub-companies who worked on the film. Especially concerning VFX Supervisors there is almost always at least one Supervisor listed at the beginning of the credits as main person directly for the production of the movie. The other (sometimes a lot!) VFX Supervisors are listed at the end of the credits under the name of their FX company and don't have that main responsability. |

the rules (weblink) only exclude the company names and don't specify leading only Well, that just depends on how you interpret the meaning of "individual credits". I understand how you see it, but one could just as well argue that this specifically excludes additional VFX credits under such headers in favour of the lone ("individual") overall VFX credit. |
