I only want the company information as the roles assigned to the crew member explains what the company does eg: Joe Blow: Visual Effects under the heading Joe Blow Visual Effects Company.
To me this describes exactly what I am looking for.

Now of course we can start repeating all earlier discussions, but I think at this point only a decision by Invelos will bring us any further.

We still need a decision on this from Invelos Please

Indeed.

I just wanted to add that I'm not too keen on the idea of adding the extra stuff "only if it adds context", as who decides what adds context and what doesn't?
I'd rather have a simple statement that says all go in or all come out. Personally I'd prefer all to go in.

Same here, all in. Although I can't find 'Visual Effects by' very useful but all other extra stuff is.

I think that the better is the simpler (and it seems that the majority is asking for the same).
No redundance like:
Visual effects by XYZ
John Doe as Visual Effects.

If 'Visual Effects (by)' is disallowed then it's still simple...

What's the point of listing the companies at all if we don't know what they did? You would have to put the BRD or DVD in and skip to the end credits to find out any useful information. I like the extra info.

We know what the company did, under the divider is listed the credits for the crew (person --> job), we don't need to add two time the same credit.

I'm all in favor of including all the data.

We try and duplicate the cast/crew data as closely as possible, but here we are eliminating data for some reason that I can't really grasp.

From my viewpoint it surely isn't to try and duplicate the company credit and it's associated "role".

And what are we going to do about unique credits such as, oh I don't know, Terminator Effects by, Bridge Collapse Visual Effects by? Are those going to be banned or allowed on a case by case basis?



I don't see how this can really be any more work then say entering cast members such as:
Townie #1
Townie #2
Townie #3
and so on.
If we wanted to simplify these credits because it's redundant why not just enter a group header once for "Townies"? Why because it doesn't duplicate the actual credit? But as I said here with the company credit some want to simplify the credit just because the data is redundant in their minds just because of credits below them have the same type of credit.
