| | Posted: | | | | Simple question: does a "Miniature Special Effects" credit qualify for a "Visual Effects" credit? Yes or no?
Edit: there's already an actual "Special Effects" credit a bit further down in the end credits, which certainly does qualify. | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

| | Posted: | | | | If there is no other "Special Effects" credit: "Yes"
Come to think of it: Wouldn't know why to exclude it, even if there were other FX credits.
We do add other default credits that have extensions, don't we? | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | The Black Hole (Disney) comes to mind.
Even though the film has many effects shots I can't contribute any of them.
For instance.
Miniature Effects Created & Supervised by
Mechanical Effects (Very likely for the robots)
Robots Created by
Animation Special Effects (likely for such things as thrusters and laser blasts) |

If there is no other "Special Effects" credit There is, exactly that: first the "Miniature Special Effects" credit, and then, somewhat further down in the end credits, a separate "Special Effects" credit. Quote:

| | Posted: | | | | I've personaly included them when they say "miniature special effects", but kept local when worded like "miniatures by" or "miniature effects by". |

Do we? Like CubbyUps, I didn't think we did. Some do, some don't. I would. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Some do, some don't. Always a recipe for disaster...  All in all, I gather that it's question of luck, right? If I submit this and it just so happens that a bunch of the no-voters own this, then it might get shot down, whereas if a bunch of the yes-voters own this, it'll probably get through. Or is it just a question of being suitably vague in the notes? Either way: not exactly a brilliant system... |
