It's not part of their CV to be listed in the film though! No one has ever got a job by saying "Fire up a copy of Avatar, Fast forward all the way to the end, slow down until you get to the very start of the end credits, now fast forward 3 mins 32 seconds and you will see my name third row along scrolling up for about 2 seconds"
Anyway, as someone who always stays to the end of the credits (and yes it can be a test of patience, especially on superhero movies which have been worked on by every digital effects team from New Zealand to Russia to India and all points inbetween) I can safely say that virtually no-one watches them anyway. The cleaning team is there shovelling spilled popcorn by the time I leave.
@axisus maybe you should just change your policy of sitting through the credits?
Possibly because of our horrifically disposable culture chewing up and throwing away products made by poor sods in far eastern mega factories while we take the products utterly for granted...?
I'd hate to see us go that way about films, a lot of those guys work their butts off and are far from luvvies, you don't need to google far into VFX to find out how screwed over by the studios some of these guys are.
Given as you are perfectly free not to watch the credits, its hardly an imposition!
Strong candidate to The stupidest post of the year so far.
As for posts that take a cheap shot at homosexuality... well, I think that says more about you than people in media.

i put Snow White on for my daughter the other day and she asked why I had started at the end. Give it a few years and I will see if I get the same question to Memento

That two seconds, in a very small point sized typeface, at the end of the film, is hardly the gateway to a career in cinema but it will be something nice that he can tell his children.
you say nobody gives a toss, but some people obviously give enough of a toss to post about it so....who’s laughing?
And what harm is it doing to you or anyone? Next thing you’ll be moaning about there are such things as texts on the internet because they take up important bandwidth for porn.
Relax, moan less, have a cup of tea instead.
Ironic.

In the past, some films were exceptionally complex affairs with thousands of real extras, but these guys never really got credit, and the way shots were done was in many ways simpler. How did they get that first arrow volley shot for the 1944 Henry V? I suspect with shooting hundreds of arrows and a bit of false perspective to make them look like they were hitting the "other side". These days, Chris Nolan would do the same thing but on IMAX film, most everyone else would use CGI.
Modern films use larger crews, and perform stunts much more safely. They also use an awful lot of CGI and many of those in the credits are involved in this process. The stars are typically more pampered and their personal teams and entourage are larger and often credited.
Films have become incredibly complex affairs, Paranormal Activity was considered bargain basement and still cost 8 million dollars to make. It is only recently TV has come close, and in the case of shows like Game of Thrones that's mostly because the key cast are getting paid 8 million dollars each, per season...
It is probably fair to say it also contributes to a lot of flops, last year's "The Mummy" and "Justice League" both underperformed partly because they weren't very good, but also because they just cost too damn much to make. Justice League in particular looks like Babylon 5 (in terms of it's CGI, I bet they wish it was as good as B5!) but apparently cost as much as $300 million (!!) to make. I'd have to eat the crown jewels to make a turd that expensive...
