It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.
Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.
We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.
Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.
Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!
Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

Sometimes I think the most successful effects shots in films are where multiple techniques get used. That was the case with Gladiator’s famous tiger scene – the one where Maximus (Russell Crowe) engages with Tigris of Gaul, who brings with him a number of tigers.

Previously, we looked at how DNEG built the CG dogs required for their Togo visual effects work. Now we dive into the many animation challenges the studio faced on the show. These challenges included close-up hero dog animation, as well as dealing with a pack of running, slipping and sliding sled-dogs – often harnessed together – that had to interact convincingly. Plus, the CG animation needed to match with the extensive live-action dog footage filmed in Alberta.

While FuseFX visual effects supervisor Marshall Krasser was working on Upload, the Greg Daniels (The Office, Parks and Recreation) comedy that just started streaming on Amazon Prime Video, he tackled an issue with a particular VFX scene and its place within the series, which is set in a future where people can be ‘uploaded’ to a digital afterlife.

During this coronavirus crisis, many animation and visual effects studios are being called upon to work in different ways. That might mean operating remotely, or delivering different kinds of content, or doing all this with different methods.

You might already be familiar with the now common process of scanning actors in a photogrammetry booth for the purpose of later building a digi-double for, say, stunt work, face replacements or even a photoreal CG human for central performances.

One of my favorite plug-in panels for Adobe Premiere Pro is the transcription and text search tool Transcriptive from Digital Anarchy. It brought video transcription, text-based metadata search, and editing to PPro in a whole new way that hasn’t yet been matched as far as functionality goes.
