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

Bottom line: Apple's aggressive transition from Intel processors to ARM-based ones is no doubt a major inflection point for the Cupertino company. However, Thunderbolt still has an important place in future Macs, even though historically speaking it's been somewhat dependent on the presence of an Intel processor in the same system.

Despite the fact that the adoption of HEVC/H.265 is still an ongoing process across the industry, Fraunhofer HHI, the company behind the H.264 and H.265 video codecs, has just introduced the next generation video encoding – H.266.

Mention the phrase ‘fluid sims’ in visual effects and one of the studios many people think of first is Scanline VFX. Using its proprietary Flowline toolset, Scanline’s artists have turned out some of the most complex work in fluid and particle simulations in the past few years.

Something to look forward to: Video data is expected to account for over 82 percent of the global Internet traffic by 2022, and with the proliferation of 4K and 360-degree video, better video codecs are needed to reduce the bandwidth and space requirements of your favorite content. That's where Versatile Video Coding (VVC) comes in, which is able to achieve the same subjective quality as HEVC at only half the bitrate.

Today's Hollywood reliance on visual special effects is more important than it has ever been. Most of the biggest box-office successes are movies that depict worlds that wouldn't be possible without the aid of computer-generated imagery and its clever applications. It actually provides the spectacle the pays for the ticket price at the movie theater.

In re-imagining HBO’s “Watchmen” series as a present-day sequel to the graphic novel about a race war tied to the Tulsa massacre, two of the biggest VFX challenges were how to create the reflective mask for Looking Glass (played by Tim Blake Nelson) along with the crucial look for the glowing blue Doctor Manhattan (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II). In fact, many will be surprised to learn that the mask for the Tulsa detective was all-CG, while the quantum-based superhero was a creative hybrid of dif...
