co-directing credit

[crazycatz]

Hello,

I am wondering what your guys' thoughts are on this..

A colleague and I co-directed a couple commercials together a few months ago, and I am now cutting them into my directing reel.
He has requested that I watermark the scenes we co-directed with "co-directed with ___" and he would do the same.

I am not sure how I feel about this, and am wondering your guys thoughts on it. Is that a common practice when co-directing, or is there a better way to properly credit the scenes as co-directed by in a reel?


Thanks for any insight you have to offer.

Dont really see the point. Why dont you both use it in your reels without that? If I had something for my reel that had some caveat like a watermark with co-driected with.... Id probably not use it all.

A less ridiculous solution.
