| | Posted: | | | | I wish your advices about casting for this french animation film. Here is th cast part of credits :  As you can see, for each character there's a credit for both the voice actor and (I think) the motion capture actor. How should it be contributed ? Only voice actors ? Voice actors with voice checkbox + motion capture actors without ? Thanks ! |

| | Posted: | | | | What do you call 'non standard' film credits ?

| | Posted: | | | | Since these are the credits, the rules seem fairly clear..."take the actor information from the end credits only, with names and roles listed exactly as they are in the credits and in exactly the same order credited."
The only problem is that the program is not set up to list more than one person for each role. What you will have to do is list each role twice...once for each actor...with the voice checked for the appropriate one. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | And since this is an animation film even the (motion capture) cast needs the voice checkbox ticked as per rules...  |

| | Posted: | | | | FWIW, another anaimated flick I have (Resident Evil: Degeneration) has somewhat similar credits, although they list all the voice actores together first, then the motion capture people under another divider after them.
But those dividers are clear on the film, there are no dividers here.
I'd say enter all the names one at a time, checking voice for the second role credit. I don't think dividers work in this situation as they don't really match what's on screen.
For instance:
Jeffrey Evan Thomas - Jimbo
Mathieu Kassovitz - Jimbo (voice)
Jacob Rosenbaum - Gil
Thamas Sagols - Gil (voice) |

Thamas Sagols - Gil (voice) But voice doesn't apply to motion capture. If this is like the Resident Evil flick I have, and it looks like it is, they have one person doing the voices, and someone else entirely doing the acting in a motion suit. Since they don't talk, you can't call em voice. But they do act and are credited for doing so, so they have to be credited. This one doesn't make it as clear as the RE film did with sections/dividers for each, but it's the same deal just worded different. |

Easy fix next update though, add a motion capture tag along with the voice and uncredited. It's getting more and more common with both animated and live action films. Plus it feels weird clicking 'voice' for someone who had someone else do their talking literally.  |

Thamas Sagols - Gil (voice) So this is the way the rules say to contribute... But like that we don't know which actor is the voice and which is the motion capture.... Hope that in 3.8 we'll be able to do the distinction. Thanks all for the advises  |
