| | Posted: | | | | A new writing credit from an old film (When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth).
Does the "treatment by" get any kind of credit, here's what I'm talking about:

| | Posted: | | | | It should obviously get an "OMB" credit although it is not covered by the rules (at the moment). | | | | Last edited: by schaumi |

Generally speaking, a film's treatment is similar to that of an overview or synopsis of the film idea. It usually ranges from 8 to 15 pages and includes all the important conceptual elements, structured in 3-5 acts, each with a beginning, middle and end. According to Wikipedia: Quote:
Screenwriters may use a treatment to initially pitch a screenplay, but may also use a treatment to sell a concept they are pitching without a completed screenplay. Sounds like OMB to me. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | I left it local for now, seems like the best way as it should be credited but rules don't really allow it (I'm not about to get yelled at for "functional equalivants" again).
Thanks for all the replies. |

Thanks for all the replies. OMB is the one credit where license is given because there are no entries in the "Credited As" column of the crew table. | | | | Hal |

OMB is the one credit where license is given because there are no entries in the "Credited As" column of the crew table. OMB is not different to any other credit. The rules talk about the "Role" and "Credited As" columns and only one of them is empty. Not listed functional equivalent credits are a problem for all crew credits and the rule wording should be corrected. Until then they are strictly speaking not allowed. But a lot of users are accepting most of them anyway. We could argue that those are accepted as direct translations. But IMO a rule change would be better. | | | | Last edited: by RHo |
