From the linked article…

In a day and age when literally everyone connected to a film production gets a credit, from craft services to on-set teachers of child actors to random “production babies” who didn’t even work on a film, it is utterly incomprehensible that vfx artists, whose work makes possible the final images that appear onscreen, are routinely omitted from screen credits.

I can attest to this, having worked in the field. Most of the work in TV and cinema goes uncredited, with team leaders or just the post houses at most being recognized with an end credit placement (by contract, of course). I understand totally that it is always a team effort and hardly any of the viewing public sits through the entire end credits roll. I totally get it. But when it happens that you are included, that small token of recognition does remind you why you’re doing 12-hour days erasing power lines, making day look like night, adding/removing people and/or signage from shots they weren’t supposed to be in and pushing greenscreened people in front of moving cars.

    And you have the other side of movie credits where they add the crew pets , new born kids and deceased during filming.

    I geuss that for a movie like Oppenheimer the credit would last longer than the movie itself.

      Actually, the film is just 15-20 minutes. Tops. Rest is credits

      🙄 While I’d agree with you if I didn’t doubt you about credited pets and kids without actual roles, I’m pretty certain nobody has a problem with the memorial title cards.

        I barely watch any movie and yet i saw pets and new born being credited. It happens, their’s no doubt about it. As for the memorial, i didn’t say it was a bax thing. Neither of this is a bad thing. i was just pointing at something i observed that is in a striking contrast with 80% of the vfx team being uncredited in Oppenheimer.

        I haven’t noticed pets being credited, but I for sure have seen babies that were born during the making of a movie get mentioned during the credits.
