However it is automatically rejected due to three repeated letters in Aaron VIII (it should also be all caps).
Name is correct and as appears on screen - is there a way to override this?

Unfortunately, the form doesn't allow the submission of three repeat letters. One way around this is to submit your credit under your name "Aaron" without the roman numeral, and then once approved you can then request a name change.
In the meantime, do yo have a screen grab of your on-screen credit for this title?

Also, as a title design aficionado I must say that even from this screenshot titles/credits look great!

I'll have to upload a clip from the video as it's not online anywhere at the moment.

Here is the first minute or so. I don't have the full video, I've messaged Emma to try and get hold of it.

I'm mainly a fashion photographer so it was my first time doing something like this but would love to do more with film.
I shot a bunch of footage for it and did the animations, my friend Emma did the cut and we overlaid and worked in some of her 16mm footage. There's a few things I would have changed if we had more time but it was a bit of a rush job, we sent the final version off to Edwin the night before it premiered in Berlin.

I'm a bit slow on the uptake todayOk, a hint...

And something as a contributor you should read carefully (mostly for future updates...)

If you confess now no one would think you've done it maliciously... It's an understandable mistake due to the pressure of the premiere (there are lots of similar instances in the database), but your reliability for future contributions might be compromised otherwise.

(For the record the typo was double r instead of double a, something I picked up on right away being that it’s my own name)

the typo was double r instead of double a, something I picked up on right away being that it’s my own nameThanks for admitting it... The problem is that the sequence with the typo was used in the premiere, and credits on

If I were you I would also add a bio trivia explaining the circumstances of the mistake, which are very interesting (sent the night before the premiere, etc...)
In the meantime, until a corrected version is made (if ever), you should re-upload the full video to Vimeo, because, again, it is great, and it's a pity that currently almost no one can watch it entirely.

Feels quite long-winded but thats how it went down, as I shot the last sequences (the spinning Mary statues, cross and statuettes as seen on Vimeo) only a few nights before the premiere then left it all with Emma Varker who was doing the cut to finish. There were a few different cuts done over the next few days while we fine-tuned it.

Except the version that I found on my computer and took the screenshot from was NOT the finished version that went through to the screenSorry, Aaron, but I don't buy it. Look:

That's a screenshot of the Vimeo page where you could find what you call a "first cut" of the title sequence, since it contains the typo.

I'm a bit old around here so, when I saw the typo, I took precautions and saved the screenshot with the upload date and a copy of the full 2:32 mins video.

That version was published on 29 December 2016, exactly the same day of the film's release, so it's hard to believe that a corrected version of the sequence (without the typo) was made that same day, before the film premiere... Then, when Michelle asks you to provide a screenshot of your name in the credits, is a bit suspicious that, rather than posting a screencap of the finished version (you've had more than 2 years to amend it), you photoshopped a still frame of that "first cut"... Finally, when I offered you the chance to post a clip of the supposedly amended version, suddenly the original "first cut" video disappears from internet, and coincidentally the newly uploaded title sequence lacks the part where your name is shown...

That vimeo link was not even supposed to be public which is why it was removed when I realised it was. You'll notice that the video also doesn't appear on Youtube or anywhere else either as was the film may be released and. Once this is sorted that public link will be removed too until Edwin confirms whats happening with the film.
I was surprised that we weren't already credited on IMDB for the titles since the rest is there, and obviously the reason is that because the name is rejected it went into the too hard basket for whoever added the film to the site leaving it up to me to sort out.

as I already explained what happenedAnd I'm telling you again that I don't think you're being malicious... The only thing I'm trying to say is that there's too much evidence that the title sequence shown the day of the first release unfortunately contained the typo and that circumstance needs to be captured on

There's nothing more. I truly admire your work.
