Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })In most productions of film, television, and theatre, the work is split up between a large number of people, mostly because individuals tend to specialize in a specific part of the artistic process. Some are actors, others writers, editors, etc. Occasionally, though, you'll find a work where a single person is credited in a whole bunch of the tasks. Sometimes this is because they couldn't afford anybody else, other times it's because they wanted complete control, other times it's just because that's how they work. This is often seen as a sign of dedication or ego, but what can't be denied is that the presence of a Copiously Credited Creator almost always indicates that whoever holds the credits is Doing It for the Art. Also, various union affiliations or distribution platforms can require that various production-related roles be included in the credits which can actually mandate that the same person is listed several times. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Sister-trivia to Written by Cast Member and Directed by Cast Member. For a musical example, see I Am the Band. Not to be confused with In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It. Instances of when a Copiously Credited Creator's project goes sideways due to the creator's runaway ego and lack of talent are covered in the Vanity Project sub-trope. Examples |

For Steps Trodden Black, Keane Chan Hodges handled screenwriting, directing, make up effects, visual effects, camera operation, editing, general production design including designing the aliens and space ship, pyrotechnics, boom operation, and sound mixing, as well as playing a minor role. Given that the film was made on a budget of around 500 dollars, this was a necessity. | |

In The Demented Cartoon Movie, the credits for the extremely short "abbridged version" are "Brian Kendall presents / A Brian Kendall Production / Of a Brian Kendall Film." A more pedantic version of this opens the actual movie, with the end replaced with Blah Blah Blah. | |

The early seasons of Red vs. Blue have just about everything but the music done by Burnie Burns, though later ones downplayed this for him. The Chorus Trilogy had Miles Luna writing, directing, voicing Felix, and editing, along with doing machinimating, compositing and casting in two of the seasons. And in Season 15, Joe Nicolosi wrote, directed, edited, voiced Jax Jonez, performed a song in the end credits and did some compositing. | |

An in-universe example occurs in Porno. Nikki and Rab write the script to the titular porno Seven Rides For Seven Brothers and Nikki is the star, but when the film has been edited, Sick Boy takes all the credit. Nobody is impressed, but when the police get onto Sick Boy, he is the one whose name is on everything. | |

M*A*S*H. Over the course of eleven seasons, Alan Alda slowly gravitated to various different jobs on the show; aside from just playing Hawkeye, he eventually began writing for the show, then directing for the show, and finally became an unofficial showrunner with producer Burt Metcalfe after the departures of co-creators/producers Larry Gelbart and Gene Reynolds (the latter also served as co-creative consultant with Alda). | |

In Which We Serve credits Noël Coward as Star, Producer, Writer, Composer and Director, the last credit being shared with David Lean. However, the 'director' part is debatable, the original intention was for Coward to direct the actors and Lean to direct the action sequences, but as the film went on Coward became bored with the film-making and left most of the work to Lean. | |
