I kinda know what you mean Strawbs, but in the film industry credits like these are excellent, and very impressive to have on a CV.Strawbs said:I meant that I was confused about the 'congratulations' and the 'well done, you deserve it' thing. I was just baffled as to what it was they deserved. I obviously realise and appreciate that Chris and Birty's work is being officially recognised with correct titles, and rightfully so, but it's hardly something to pop a cork for...appearing on a list. You wouldn't go up to Steven Spielberg and say, 'Oh well done for getting your name in the credits.' It's just a given.
I have been on some production shoots and seen people working their arses off, and taking a lot of shit of people, but yet making the production run smoothly and doing most of the work of what the "bigger" people should do on the set... but when I look at the credits, they have only been credited as production assistants or runners, and that winds me up.
I know it sounds daft, but in the film, TV and media industry people sometimes work harder for a credit than they do for the cash... I know I do often enough.
Now, Chris and Birty haven’t been working for executive producer credits, but I think it’s excellent that their hard work and commitment has been recognised for this production…
Now where did I put that champagne bottle?
