Three people involved

Persons a, b, c , shot photos and videos

Person a scanned 600 photos for the client, organized them by year, touched them up, added layers using frames and effects.
Person a digitally converted and transferred 5 hours of VHS videos for the client, organized them by year, touched them up.
Person a created 13 year by year slide shows with the scanned photos and transferred videos animating them using layers in After effects,
Person a uses his own green screen studio, to super impose them over older and newer videos from the wedding provided by person a, b and c .
Person a uses edits a small video presentation/flash of the whole event; super imposing the green screen videos, slide show videos year by year of the client and text animations producing a video presentation of the client for their wedding to tell a story about their life before and after they met., and believe me the crowd was touched at the reception before dinner was served.

Person b wants credits for graphics, production of the video, he was not even around when person a did all this or wanted to contribute., but he is the one who found the client and proposed that one of use can provide all this.

Who should credit go to since we did this for free and who should the credits go to if we got paid?
 
put a, b, and c in a cage and let them fight to the death.
survivor gets credit for everything,
 
So give B a marketing credit, and that is all.

Consider this a learning experience... not to get involved with people like B... and to ALWAYS get a contract signed by ALL parties involved, so everyone knows what they are getting. How old are you, out of curiosity?

what he said
 
I'm guessing you're person A.

This story seems biased.


lol


Poor person C looks as though to have done nothing. I bet if each person, a..b...c..posted, you'd see different letters arranged.
 
Actually, could I get some credit if I help you with this answer?...

How much you get paid (including being paid nothing) hasn't any effect on the credits itself.

You need to learn to sort out who is specifically doing what BEFORE a project takes place. Even if its for free or charity if its a serious project get it sorted out and on paper then signed by all parties. At least then you know what you're expected to deliver and what each other person is going to contribute.


Also what did person C do?

cool, your real person and not a troll here, thanks for posting :hug::

Person c was credited as a photographer, like a and b, he did nothing else.

Before person a, b and c started this they all agreed that they where three photographers, nothing else.

Then:
1-Person b proposed to a that the client (his cousin) will be impressed by videos & they should collaborate & make one together for the reception there is a projector and screen set up already.
2-Person c did not agree and decided to stay out of it,

Person b asked person a how to go about it
3-person a suggested to person b to take copies of all their photos and videos and create a short video of high lights from the events taken place at the wedding earlier in the day while

4
- person a will make a cartoon animation of the couple super imposed as a intro, then a video out of all the slide shows with music, and a music video as a nice finish,
Using adobe premiere to combine photos touched up in Photoshop and videos with year by year slide shows in iphoto, the rest was done after effects.

5
-After person a finished which turned out to be a 18 minute video, person b decided it was too much to do a video all the sudden, he preferred to stay home and relax before the reception.

6-The reception went perfect, everyone was touched, even impressed about the video, some told person b it was incredible, but person b complained that the credits where not correct at all.

8-Person b insists he produced part of this video because his images are used, not even acknowledging person c 's images and videos.

the credits went like this

Concept and Video by person a
Camera by person a, b , c
Editing by person a
Additional graphics and animation by person a

person b who only took photos and recorded some videos wants it to say his future company name was responsible for all of the above, not just photos, promising person a that he can use this to get more work.

just for the record, person b asked person a to make his business cards after been impressed by the way person a's used photoshop to make his own.,
Person a shared the template via email but after a week past person b called pretending he was still expecting person a to do it for him, spending more time ranting on about it then doing it,

My guess is person B either has no experience or is a serious charlatan,

btw person a is a old geezer, photography was just a hobby of his, he recently purchased 10k worth of equipement so it seems he also could be trying to appease his angry wife by pretending he runs a already successful business.

Sorry I would honestly love to help but the way this all is written I am unable to follow along. Perhaps make a diagram. I'm more of a visual leaner.
