At the end of a big production like say a movie or video game for whatever reason? If so, what were you in and under what category(cast, accounting, stunt, etc) were you credited?

Only by "screen name"

In the way back when machine (original Rainbow 6) one of the guys in the clan was a designer at Looking Glass and put our handles in the credits.

I was a contributor to two books, and got credit in them. My brother was an actor in a kids instructional golf video, and got credit for that.

Only on my own films I did in college. Very small production crew of four people including myself. Written articles I've published just credit me as "News Staff". :p

Twice, under my real name, as an actor in indie films that have been shown in several major cities at cinema festivals and some small art houses but don't truly amount to much when you get real about it all.

No expectations, no pay for one and I don't exactly have my actor's equity card anyway, but I'm a ham and the experiences were hella fun.

Just watching the craft of setting up a shot is interesting, and the level of professionalism that can be achieved under the circumstances and constraints is admirable to me.

He's a fellow poet, which is how we came to be friends.

He's had admittedly bit parts in some epic films, like Taxi Driver and Mean Streets. He's a better poet than an actor, imho, though I'd never say that to him. :awe:

Yes, my best friend from high school is in a pretty big band, I've been thanked in all of their albums.

Edit - I guess that's not really being credited, but whatevs.

There are credits for my real name but it's not me. I was recently at a reunion and someone was asking about my work as a scenery carpenter for some Broadway production. I was puzzled until he told me he had googled the names of several people at the party. I asked him if he was always into stalking or if this was a new hobby.
