| | Posted: | | | | I noticed a few studio updates to several titles of this boxset. So far, I verified just The Vengeance of She. Seven Arts - updated to Seven Arts Productions Hammer - updated to Hammer Film Productions Looking to the opening credits, this doesn't seem correct:  I'm assuming the other studio updates to be incorrect as well. I remember taking the studios exactly as written in the opening credits when I updated the entire boxset. I don't remember if there were a lot of end credits, if they even contained studio names. For now, I voted no on this title. If somebody can explain me were the updated studio names come from I'll gladly update my vote. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

| | Posted: | | | | I don't understand why you think this is wrong. It looks like your average co-production credit, in this case involving Seven Arts and Hammer.
Edit: I just did a quick search and it looks like Seven Arts Productions is the correct full name for that company.
Edit 2: I've done some more searching and I'm wrong - the proper name is Hammer Film Productions, I've edited above accordingly. | | | | Last edited: by northbloke |

| | Posted: | | | | As I read it: A Seven Arts - Hammer Film Production
The bolded part appear to be in a larger font. And nowhere in the credits appears the words Films or Productions.
So in my opinion, the studios are 1. Seven Arts and 2. Hammer.
Edit: I thought we entered the name variants of the studios as they appeared on the credits.
Like we have Universal and Universal Pictures for instance. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

| | Posted: | | | | I have been unsure of this lately. Are we supposed to enter the studios "as credited" or the current full name of the studio, or the full name of the studio at the time of release?
Regarding Hammer, their website says Hammer Films, but their wikipedia article says Hammer Film Productions |

| | Posted: | | | | I understand now. I believe the relevant rule is this one: "Do not abbreviate Studio or Media Company names. e.g, use Universal Pictures not just Universal"
Technically Hammer is an abbreviation of Hammer Film Productions, just like Universal is an abbreviation of Universal Pictures. Similarly with Seven Arts.
The downside is, you need to know the proper name of the studio before you can know it's abbreviated or not.
So actually, if you've seen Universal on a profile, that needs fixing. |

The correct full name of a studio may not always be that easy to find. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

On the official website, 2nd paragraph on the About Us page: "Launched in 1934 Hammer's first production was The Public Life Of Henry The Ninth and, following a period of inactivity during WW2, the first picture from the newly incorporated Hammer Film Productions Ltd. was 1949's Dr. Morelle: The Case Of The Missing Heiress." |

I will change my vote then, since the update appears to be correct. And probably at least a quarter of my collection might need a studio update  | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

The correct full name of a studio may not always be that easy to find. I'm in complete agreement. It's why I tend to avoid studios where possible. |

I'm in complete agreement. It's why I tend to avoid studios where possible. Not sure, but what I am certain of, before the last rule update, we took the studios exactly as credited. That's why I had 3 or 4 variants of Hammer in this collection alone. We will probably need a pinned topic with verified correct studio names.  | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

So many still contain prefixes or suffixes, and so many are abbreviated... it's almost overwhelming! | | | | The night is calling. And it whispers to me soflty come and play. |
