Hello,

I'm working on the dvd the Corporation (795975106535) which has writing credits first saying

Writen by:
Joel Bakan

Based on a book by:
Joel Bakan

later it says narration Mikela J. Mikael

narration written by
Harold Crooks, Joel bakan, Mark Achbar

How would i credite this i Think
Joel Bakan sreenwriter
Joel Bakan Original material by

but do i also add Harld Crooks and Mark Achbar as screenwriters, and does joel Bakan recieves a second sreen writer credited, maybe even a writers credited since these narrations are probably written directly for the screen.

I hope anyone can help

paul

I would credit Joel Bakan as Writer [Credits: Written by] and Original Material by [Credits: Based on a Book by]. I wouldn't credit those who only have a "Narration written by" credit.

If it's based on a book it can't be an original screenplay and so Joel Bakan should be entered as Screenwriter and OMB.

I agree with Martin:

Crew

Screenwriter: Joel Bakan
OMB: Joel Bakan

Cast

Mikela J. Mikael: Narrator or Narration (voice)

as it seems that credits says: Writen by: Joel Bakan if so => Writer. (if Behemot confirms this)

If this guy is listed with other crew (as I am interpreting the original post), he should not be added as an actor to the cast list!

If the actual credits say "Written By" then the correct DVDP credit is "Writer".

This is done for al voice roles (aka special vocal effects, ... where I lost the discussion. It can not be either way. if you remember that thread and some others to i believe)
