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

Theatre Sound Feature: Putting audio centre stage

September 25, 2015, 09:30 AM

Despite ever-increasing competition for the public’s attention and income, attendance at theatres throughout the UK and Europe is at a buoyant level. While the economic gloom that pervaded the 2008-2013 period certainly had an impact, a combination of crowd-pleasing comedies, jukebox musicals and inspired revivals of more serious dramatic works – witness, for example, the rapid advance sell-out of the Benedict Cumberbatch-starring production of Hamlet at London’s The Barbican Centre – is...

Although virtual and augmented reality have finally started to gain momentum, it has been a long and difficult road for those involved. In its infancy, VR was a novel technology that could only be demonstrated with expensive equipment. While some have attempted to commercialize VR for consumers, the products were complete failures and at the same time, set VR back decades in the consumer space.

#CreativeFriday – Applying graphics to 3D models

September 25, 2015, 05:03 AM

http://blogs.adobe.com/richardcurtis/2015/09/25/cr...

This post will show how to apply a graphic to a 3D object, regardless of the presence of a UV map or not. Applying a graphic to the model will use a technique called ‘Projection’. Projection will take the contents of a layer (above the model) and push the pixles to the surface of the model and place it into the texture layers. This toy plane will be used in this demo, and will place graphics on the top of the wings. I don’t have any graphics handy, so i’m going to use Adobe Stock t...
