Marvel One Shots: creator credits

It's easy to forget about the Marvel One Shots -- they were short bonus videos which appeared on a few DVDs for Marvel Cinematic Universe titles from Thor through Thor: The Dark World. Some of them are decent, particularly Hail to the King, but one senses the creators wanted to focus their efforts on the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television series instead.
