After seeing the really nice paper animated video Eric Power made for Jeremy Messersmith “Tatooine” I got a bot sad that Eric almost nowhere got credited for his work with the video. In Sweden the video appeared on Feber.se that got it from Wit Wheaton that picked it up from Geekosystem …

After the first one or two steps where the video was uploaded to YouTube and published on Erics site credit in most cases were lost.

So my tip is to always include your name/site/twittername or something on the first frames in the video, but don’t pester the poster image with it.

If you don’t do that you might miss a ton of goodwill if your work goes viral.

I’ve embedded the Vimeo version cos it has the correct credits :-).
