hi,

i have a problem with a contribution in which i have removed "Additional Visual Effects ..." and there Supervisor.

i take a look in the rules and find following:

Visual Effects Individual Credits:
Visual/Digital/Special/Special Visual Effects, including Designer, Supervisor, and Director, Special Photographic Effects

there a no Additional... listed.

there are also no Additional... Mak-up or Additional... Sound Designer listed and are (following the rules) invalid credits.

how it behaves now with "Additional Visual Effects ..."?

thx for any helpful reply.

cheers emmeli

This topic has been brought up many times. Go to google and type in something like: invelos: does "additional" crew get any credit?

Here are links to a few results:
- http://t.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=265644&PageNum=1
- http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=725659
- http://dvdprofiler.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=486530&messageID=1383007

The general consensus is that "additional" credits should remain local only.

thx,

after reading this threads i take a look in the rules:

"Group names of crew members together within each role available and list in exactly the same order credited. The table below gives each of the crew roles available within DVD Profiler. For each category, include only those people credited with the roles listed in the "Role" and "Credited As" columns. If someone is not credited with one of these roles (or direct translations of these roles), do not include them in the Crew section."

Visual Effects Individual Credits:
Visual/Digital/Special/Special Visual Effects, including Designer, Supervisor, and Director, Special Photographic Effects

Not allowed: Additional Visual Effects by XXXXX
                    Additional Visual Effects Supervisor Fred Smith

Not allowed: Additional Visual Effects by XXXXX
                    Supervisor Fred Smith


It's that simple, for me, at least.


i read and interpret the rules correctly if i add a Visual Effects Supervisor under a groupdivider "Additional Visual Effects by XXXXX" as valid credit?

That's correct.
My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!

That's correct.


To be precise it should be:
"That's one opinion"

As far as I recall there is some strong opposition against this interpretation.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
