How to add credits with Instagram nicknames?

How do you guys prefer to add credits that are not old-school first & last name, but Instagram nicknames?

It sometimes happens in music videos like this:

  

  1. If on-screen credits contain such nicknames, then I should add them into "as" attribute, correct? If yes, then with @ at the start or without? Capitalized or lowercased?..
  2. If there are no on-screen credits, but they are in a video description or a SNS post (which is common for music videos or advertisements), then... what? Is it preferable to add a person and leave the "as" attribute empty or fulfill it, too?

Hi onevitalboy-

To answer your questions:

  1. We want to list the credits under their professional name and have the insta name with the "as" attribute, so like "Andy Berg (as @ANDYBERG._).
  2. For these ones, there should be no "as" attribute because they were not credited on-screen. So for this, we should use their professional name (ie. the name they are using for their work).

Cheers!
