I was wondering, is there a general consensus about this?

Sometimes credits include a heading something like "Visual Effects by Bla Bla Bla" and under it a Visual Effects Supervisor is listed.  Generally this individual is contributed, sometimes with and sometimes without the company details added in a divider. 

However, if the heading is something like "Additional Visual Effects by Bla Bla Bla" do we include or exclude the individual if he's still credited as a Visual Effects Supervisor?  It gets more confusing if the company divider isn't included, as then there's no context for the submission of the individual.

The Rules say we include Visual Effects Supervisors but I don't think there's any clear guide on what to do in this sort of case.

Apologies if this has been considered before.  Thanks.

I can't remember who put forth the idea to include Additional Visual Effects, but I DO remember their logic was "it's the VFX Supervisor title we're after, disregard/ignore/nevermind the header title". Then it kinda snowballed from there.

A visual effect supervisor is also a valid credit when the COMPANY is an additional visual effects company.

That's exactly the question SpikyCactus is asking.

I'm fairly sure this *has* been discussed before somewhere - the trick is how to find it, and I can't. As far as I can recall, the consensus up to now was what huskersports and Kluge are saying: if someone is given the job title "Additional Visual Effects Supervisor", then he's out, but if he's credited as "Visual Effects Supervisor" under an "Additional Visual Effects by {company name}" header, then he's in. That's the approach I'm seeing in most profiles, anyway. But obviously, there's something to be said for either approach. One of the problems is that groups of "Additional Cast" or "Additional Voices" aren't disqualified either.
