A Page for Every Project You Worked On

Your credits list says what you have done. Until now it could not say much more than that. A visitor who wanted to see the work behind a title had to leave your site to find it. Project Pages keep them on your site.

Turn it on

In your admin, open Credits, then Project Pages. One choice decides what happens when a visitor clicks a poster on your credits:

• Nothing: the poster is just a picture.
• Open the project's link: its IMDb page, or any address you put on the credit, in a new tab.
• Show the project page: a page on your own site for that production.

Pick the third and the layout picker appears under it, the same way the headshot designs do. The first layout is Poster and story: the poster beside the title, your role and the facts, then everything you have tagged to that production.

What the page shows

The heading is the production's name. Under it are your role and Directed By, which many credits already carry from IMDb and which you can now see and change in the credit editor. Below that, each section appears only when it has something in it:

• Stills: photos you have tagged with the project. In Media, then Photos, every photo has a Project field.
• Watch: the videos tagged to the credit, each showing your own thumbnail until it is played.
• Listen: audio from the production.
• Releases: albums tied to the project, with every service each one can be heard on.
• Read: blog posts you have written about it, chosen on the post editor.

Stills, video frames, album covers and post pictures are all one width, so a page with a little of everything still lines up. The page also writes its own description for search, short enough that Google shows it whole.

Why it helps

A credit with a page behind it is a credit someone can look at. A director who clicks a title sees the scene you were in, not just the fact that you were in it. If you work in film beyond acting, film project websites and My Films do the same job at a bigger scale.

Whichever of the 82 designs you use, your credits are where a visitor goes to judge your work. Not a member yet? Build your actor website and see the plans.
