To The Aotg.com Community,

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

With the domination of the headlines by software such as DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro it’s easy to forget that there are other options out there. Some of them very powerful indeed.

When Stephen Gaghan’s Dolittle hit cinemas earlier this year, fun b-roll was released of its star, Robert Downey Jr., aboard some kind of mobile rig that was standing in for one of the animals.

Democratization of VFX Brings 'Explosive' Opportun

Visual effects are becoming an increasingly large part of modern film and television. With the 10 highest grossing films of 2018 being VFX-heavy, it’s no surprise that directors and producers are optimistic about expanding the use of visual effects in lighting, costume, set, makup, hair, production design and stunt capabilities.

Have you watched a scene set inside a moving train carriage in the past few years? It’s highly likely the scene was filmed on a static carriage set with bluescreen or greenscreen outside the windows, sometimes with interactive lighting running on the set.

As the coronavirus pandemic started to sweep the country and subsequently shut down businesses in the U.S., post-production houses with global offices were paying close attention, watching and strategizing. That process involved looking at existing work from home set-ups, network security and mobilizing an entire workforce so that productivity continued comfortably, seamlessly and securely.

VFX Artists confirms Edited buttholes for Cats

April 8, 2020, 01:00 PM

https://92moose.fm/cats-butthole-cut-effects/

In the dumpster fire that is Tom Hooper’s adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s hit Broadway musical Cats, no news is too shocking. From its very first trailer, the Universal-produced movie became the butt of every joke. The horrific animation alone was enough to spawn its own category of memes. But even months (and six Razzie Awards) later, Cats is still managing to ruffle the fur of those who worked on the project. In a new interview with The Daily Beast, an anonymous source gave the scoop on...

I started seeing, too, a bunch of fun Zoom captures or other ‘home set-up’ images from the studios, so I’d thought I’d embed some here. Note, there’s of course a whole lot of VFX studios who have successfully implemented remote working – many of which have been operating like this for a number of weeks already – that might not appear here. This listing below is only where I found pics of the crew (or, in some cases, pics of the crew’s cats).
