    Quick question about screen credits for dead pixel removal. I removed some dead pixels for a friends low budget movie and he wants to add me to the credits as a thank you for my help, being that we are both completely new to this neither of us has any idea what the credit should be. If anyone would be so kind as to clear up our confusion it would really help. Thanks in advance for any info.

    From Wiki

    Visual effects editor – The visual effects editor incorporates visual effects into the current cuts of live action sequences, producing multiple versions of each shot. Altered scenes are then evaluated by the visual effects supervisor and creative director for aesthetic and technical direction, and by the producers for review and final editing.

    Rotoscope artist/ paint artist Rotoscope & painters artists may rotoscope the footage, manually creating mattes for use in compositing. They may also paint visual information into or out of a scene, such removing wires and rigs, logos, dust busting, scratch removal, etc

    Probably Rotoscope artist would be most appropriate, but Visual effects editor sounds a little more cool.

    My vote is for Pixel Resuscitator, but “Digital Restoration” might be a candidate, too.

    Well my initial thought was “The guy who actually does fix everything in post”, but I thought that sounded too cynical.

    John & Walter thank you for taking the time to respond. I think I’ll go with Roto. (“The guy who actually does fix everything in post” is a close second) Thanks again.
