I say yes.

So does this qualify for producer credit or not?

Why not?

I don't think it really matters if the Production Company is a Visual Effects Company.

I think Industrial Light & Magic actually produced one of the Star Trek films.

It could be that the film company simply lumped the VFX Company and the producer together since they produced the film. The producer listed could be both an employee of the VFX Company as well as a producer on the film too.

So I would indeed credit the person as a Producer is this case.


Not to confuse manners, but yes there are credits for Visual Effects Producer or variants thereof. But this credit doesn't say Visual Effects Producer, all it says is Producer.
So, like I said above, it's very likely that the VFX Company and this person are producers of the film.

As I thought, they are a Production Company, so I would see no reason why he can't be credited as a Producer.

I see no reason he can't be credited as a Producer either...especially when that is how he is credited on screen.

I would list him as a producer, and list the company header with him in a divider.

I see these sorts of credits all the time on Discovery Channel shows, where you will have the majority of the credits roll, and then the last part of the credits will have "For Discovery Channel" and then a list of their people who were involved, generally various kinds of producers.  I always include them, under company dividers.

I also just saw them listed this way in a set of film credits, Farishtay Kitfi Rost, so it isn't just confined to television.

Don't forget to put Tsuburaya Productions in the studio field also. I'd be tempted to leave the header/divider as it's covered by the company. If I start seeing New Line, Warner Bros and every production company headers I'm going to lock my whole program and stay local!

I only put the production company headers in the crew if they're present in the actual film credits.  I don't see them very often in movies.  I think they were only included in Farishtay Kitfi Rost because it's an international co-production so there were a lot of different companies and countries involved.
