would just do it, why not?
do you feel they would purge your clients?
- sine0
they might think you're preparing to leave...
it's all pretty standard though; the credit and the nda.

Well I mentioned to them a few days ago that I may be doing some web work for another major movie studio. Since I've been doing studio releases for them, and their product is somewhat unique they may have gotten worried?

sounds like someone is getting fidgety. either your work is being brought up by other people, or the agency you are freelancing for is starting to "lock-down" their creative rights.

Credit line is going up I guess. They sent me an NDA out of nowhere too. Odd I've worked with them for a whole year and now suddenly all this.

I totally expect that information. Without context it's really hard to sell yourself.

Great advice/thoughts from Miguex, duhsign, et al. Unless otherwise stated in a contract, you could possibly claim "creation rights" but if you were compensated, they can claim "ownership rights." When IP rights were transferred upon completion and compensation, you now entered territory where you would need to ask permission to post the work anyway. If they're asking for a credit line, that is hands down better then them asking you to take it down. If nothing else, take it as a compliment they want to be associated to that level with the work you did for them.

and Disney, being a freelancer working from home, w no agency in the middle sound a bit bratbahshy
- BrokenHD0
Disney (via agency) is still fresh.

Yes. Give credit where credit's due. If you worked on stuff for Disney through an agency, then credit that agency.

Well I want more work. It's just without it I look like I've worked directly for Disney and Warner Bros. Not like its that big a deal, i guess.

Tell them to pound salt. That should have been included in the original contract and if it isn't tough shit.

I agree with Miguex - I think it's pretty standard to have:
Client name,
Whether or not it was a pitch, concept or live project,
Link to site (if a website),
Agency (if you worked with team),
Your Role on the project
- lowimpakt0
do you mean roi?
how do you calculate that?
- I believe he meant to type
"rôle"mikotondria3 - I think he meant "role".bulletfactory

Ahem. Just saying. As a professional pedant.
mikotondria3 - role!
sorry I wrote it in spanish, I knew something was off, but didn't catch it haha

i would do it. most people state where the work was created/for who. they could ask you to just remove it completely...so i think it's in your best interest to do as they ask, imho.
no harm done.

Yeah, I do that all the time on every project I post on my portfolio, and I link it to their site, SPECIALLY when working for an agency.
I also include my rol on the project too, I think this is pretty standard.

A client is asking for credit on my personal portfolio page. They want something Client: Company Name, under every job I have that was done for them. I've never been asked this before. Whats the educate here?
