You will find comprehensive notes about preparing film credits at the Animation Resources Page on Moodle, here.
Specifically, there are details about use of the Emily Carr official logos, plus a link to the image files themselves and standards for visual identity.
For an excellent example of film credits, your should look at the lovely short film, If You Fall, by Tisha Deb Pillai, here.
According to the Vimeo timeline, at 5:07 and then again at 5:26.
A few things that stand out are the lists of crafts and individuals who worked on the film. Everything that went into making the work and everyone who was involved are accounted for.
Additionally, notice the design. The text has a hand-written quality. The lettering has life too, with subtly animated boing holds.
Also, the sections are organized as a cards or sections, rather than scrolling text.
With that in mind, you might want to organize the sections in your credits as areas of effort.
You should rank the titles in order of significance, with the important creative roles first.
For example:
Story, Direction, and Design
Your Name (the creator and filmmaker)
Character Animation
The Person’s Name
Layout and Setting Artwork
The Person’s Name
Animation Assistance
Name 1
Name 2
Name 3
Music Composition
The Person’s Name
Musicians
Name 1
Name 2
Name 3
The aforementioned is a short list. There are other categories you should include, depending on the components of the film.
The Thanks to, or, alternatively, Appreciation section is important. It’s decent and gracious to list those who contributed to a project, who were not directly involved with the the creative roles and tasks involved with making:
- Instructors and mentors
- Peers have provided ongoing input
- Family members
- Other influential people who provided emotional support in your filmmaking journey
As a final card, you should include:
Your Name
Copyright symbol
Year
You hold the intellectual and creative rights to the film.
