As a director and writer, he wants his name to to be seen, to tell people it’s his film. As a producer, he makes sure the actors appear in the correct order. After that, it’s someone else’s problem.
Comment on Christopher Nolan Forgot To Credit Over 80% Of VFX Crew On ‘Oppenheimer’
sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 2 years agoHe’s also a producer in all his films. He definitely has the clout and oversight to ensure its done. But he’s also a luddite and so it’s not natural for his brain to consider things like that. Remember, this is a guy that doesn’t even have a mobile phone.

Surely as an actor and director, those people that were integral to achieving his vision getting the recognition they deserve should, ordinarily, be his problem?
notun@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Yes. Typing their names into the credits roll however, isn’t.

I’m sure most studios have an unpaid intern for that.

a luddite?
that’d quite pathethic coming from someone working at the top of one of the most technology-dependent industry existing today…sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 2 years ago
Maybe I’m using the wrong terminology. But he’s on record as saying he doesn’t like modern technology and will always use analog whenever possible.

And from the article you posted elsewhere, the “Luddite” term comes from his children because he doesn’t use a smartphone. Which he basically says if he had one it would negatively affect his creative productivity. I don’t think that’s unreasonable.
There’s also nothing inherently wrong with practical effects and film stock. On top of that, the practical effects he uses in camera are rarely untouched by digital vfx

He’s not really a “Luddite” : thenib.com/im-a-luddite/

I mean, there are also production offices, editors, post-production supervisors, and Universal’s contract with DNEG involved.
If he missed it, then so did dozens of other people. Though the fact that DNEG just laid off like 8% off their workforce in London makes me think that it was a deliberate decision from the studios rather than “Nolan forgetting to do it”
