Considering you're fighting for space and time to get all these names up, I found it odd that you've used such large gutters between each column. You could almost bring the size of the font up a few points, lose a column's worth of names from each column, and then make a whole extra column and still have plenty of empty space between them. Maybe also use a less condensed font if the same style to allow the names to be a bit more prominent. Just my $0.02.

So for purposes of this test, you are person named Jenny Batista that worke= d on the film in doing Photoshop cleanup. Do you find your name in 10 secon= ds? If not, how long.

Also need feedback on readability =E2=80=93 but even if smaller fonts are r= eadable, finding your name gets harder and harder.

A film is =E2=80=93 or should be =E2=80=93 more like music than like fictio= n. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what=E2=80= =99s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
