| | Posted: | | | | Could a Visual Effects Coordinator be added & credited when no Visual Effects Supervisor is credited anywhere in the credits, using the Special Effects Coordinator rule at the bottom of the crew table?

| | Posted: | | | | Personally, I'd probably not add them. The rule specifies only "special effects coordinators", no other type. |

| | Posted: | | | | It seems a bit odd that you can add a Special Effects Coordinator to Visual Effects but you can't add Visual Effects Coordinator.
Really there should be separate Visual Effects and Special Effects credits in DVDP because they are completely different things. |

I thought it was a very odd choice for the name of the crew section when it was first introduced. I doubt they'll ever be separated but at least "Special Effects" is a vaguer term and can encompass visual effects whereas the opposite is not always true. |

| | Posted: | | | | Agreed. As far as I've understood this from the beginning, the "visual effects" credited was originally intended for the film's main "visual effects supervisor", and nothing else. As with so many other credits, though, things quickly spiraled out of control, into the huge and far too broad spectrum of jobs we lump together into it now.  |
