| | Posted: | | | | Not sure if this has been brought up or not, so here goes. The Vinegar Syndrome release of Iced has a producer with his name credited one way in the opening credits (Robert M. Seibert) and a 2nd way (Robert Seibert) in the end credits. Now, the rules don't mention this quirk, so which is the correct entry? | | | 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! |

| | Posted: | | | | For the cast, it's easy. The rules say that the end credits are leading. Although it's not in the rules, I always thought that if the crew was listed in both the opening and end credits, the ones in the opening credits were leading. |

That makes sense to me. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | I admit credits was never my strong suit... but the way I always looked at is if the rules states that you go by the end credits for cast and it is quiet for crew I would automatically do the same for crew. As in my eyes the cast sets a precedence on how to do it. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Ah, I know where this is coming from since I submitted that change. I can go back and look as I don't remember the specifics off the top of my head. But from my experience, it's much less common for a crew member to be listed twice in the credits (opening and closing). A lot of times the screenplay, writer, producer, DoP, composer, film editor, director, etc. are listed in the opening credits but not the closing. When the opening credits are lacking those credits then they're in the closing credits.
I went back and looked at the guidelines and for crew, unlike the cast, it only states "Take Crew Credits from the film credits only".
How common is it for a crew member to be listed twice in both the opening and closing credits? At least from my experience, I don't think it happens all that often. |
