Visual Effects Society Publishes Industry Credit Guidelines

Transcription

1 Visual Effects Society Publishes Industry Credit Guidelines The Visual Effects Society (VES) has published the first ever set of VES guidelines for titles in the visual effects industry. The list has been vetted by VES members and ratified by the VES Board of Directors. Major studios have reviewed the list as well and are encouraged to utilize it. Through these collective efforts, a harmonized master list of titles has been created that should be useful as a touchstone for all effects stakeholders, says VES Executive Director, Eric Roth. We think it represents a major step forward for our craft in standardizing the use of titles in the credits process for effects artists. Questions regarding these guidelines can be addressed by calling the VES at Credits/Titles to be submitted in accordance with VES Guidelines are as follows: PRODUCTION Senior Visual Effects Supervisor Visual Effects Supervisor Senior Additional Visual Effects Supervisor Visual Effects Co-Supervisor Visual Effects Associate Supervisor Animation Director Senior Visual Effects Producer Visual Effects Producer Visual Effects Associate Producer Visual Effects Production Supervisor Visual Effects Coordinator Visual Effects Assistant Coordinator Visual Effects Production Associate FACILITY Senior Visual Effects Supervisor Visual Effects Supervisor Additional Visual Effects Supervisor Co-Visual Effects Supervisor Visual Effects Associate Supervisor Visual Effects Plate Supervisor Visual Effects Production Assistant Visual Effects Accountant Visual Effects Plate Supervisor Visual Effects Plate Producer Visual Effects Editor Visual Effects Assistant Editor Visual Effects Previz Lead Visual Effects Previz Artist Visual Effects Previz Editor Visual Effects Previz Sound Editor Visual Effects Data Coordinator Visual Effects Data Assistant Visual Effects Vendor Coordinator Visual Effects Consultant [PRODUCTION] CG Supervisor Compositing Supervisor Senior Visual Effects Art Director Visual Effects Art Director Concept Artist Storyboard Artist
