Why do movie credits scroll while TV credits show static frames?
Usually the end credits in a movie are usually shown as a scrolling list (some movies show the names of major cast and crew with fancy animations but they subsequently turn into the scrolling list pretty soon), while end credits for a TV episode usually show static frames containing the names one after another.
