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

Mad Max Flame Throwing Guitar is No CGI Trick

May 17, 2015, 01:36 PM

“Mad Max: Fury Road” is the opposite of subtle. There are massive explosions, hordes of dehydrated mutants, women being literally milked… It’s an insane wonderland of brutality and over-the-top visuals. But there is nothing crazier in the entire movie than the Doof Warrior, a blind mutant wearing a red onesie, riding a truck made out of amps and speakers who wields a flame-throwing guitar and never stops playing rock music.

Age of Ultron: Does CGI Make it Less Fulfilling?

In the bad old days of “Whiz! Bam! Pow!” TV-and-movie superheroes — which yielded cut-rate, campy artifacts like those “Captain America” TV movies or Roger Corman’s unreleased version of “Fantastic Four” — a massive spectacle like “Avengers: Age of Ultron” seemed unimaginable. Yet the technology that has made such blockbusters feasible has, creatively, become a curse as well as a blessing.

C4D Beginner's Tip: 3D Logo's From JPEG

You ask your client for a vector logo but all you get back is a JPEG. They say it’s all they have and that the original designer is nowhere to be found. The logo is too intricate for you to reproduce, or it’s not something neither of you have budgeted money or time for. All hope is not lost. You will still be able to create a 3D logo from this 2D image with a couple steps.

A few months ago I started working on a project that I’ve been meaning to jump into for some time. It’s called CodeBook, and is (at least in the prototype stages) a FileMaker database system designed for use across Production and Post.
