Comment on Christopher Nolan Forgot To Credit Over 80% Of VFX Crew On ‘Oppenheimer’
QHC@kbin.social 1 year agoI don't like this idea at all. QR codes are just a different way of encoding a URL, so as soon as someone stops paying the hosting bill that extended credits document is gone. Credits are in the movie itself so they can't be erased or forgotten. I highly doubt a web server for a movie, even an Oscar winner, is going to be online in 20-30 years from now.

QR codes are not encoded urls, they are a way of encoding data. They can contain 2953 bytes. What they contain is irrelevant.
A film could technically have several QR codes that had all the credits in text in them.

This is true, but the practical use of QR codes is almost always to encode a URL that points at something hosted traditionally, similar to how NFTs can contain unique data on their own but most of the time are actually pointing to a file hosted somewhere else. And that somewhere else
couldmightprobably will eventually fail.
