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

George Lucas has moved on. During my visit to Lucasfilm headquarters last week at the wooded Presidio in San Francisco, complete with stunning views of the misty Golden Gate Bridge, I learned that the company founder doesn't come around much anymore, although his famed poster collection still adorns the walls.

He had a pretty hands off approach to the visual effects, relying on Angus to interpret what he wanted. Ultimately, the visual effects needed to be invisible and photorealistic, not interrupting the narrative in any way. We concentrated on being as subtle and historically accurate as possible.

Mikey Borup shows a clever little technique for creating a halftone effect in After Effects using a shape layer and a camera lens blur effect. As Mikey mentions in the tutorial, there are likely many ways to create one type of an effect, and this represents just one of them.

If you put a group of software engineers in a room with a directive to develop an application, they will competently write millions of line of code that will trigger every feature, bell and whistle you ask them to. And that’s fine.
