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

How to Make a Monster: Tips for Creating DIY Speci

October 3, 2014, 01:22 PM

Making a monster is no walk in the park. In fact, Making an army of monsters that brutally kill a town of people in a no-budget creature feature is just downright nutso. But if you're of my school of thought, sometimes nutso is the only way to fly. I like to do things practically, without dependence on CGI.

The youngest ever employee of Platige Image

I first discovered my interest for visual effects when I was around 7, and I got given Shrek 2 on DVD for a gift; I remember watching the documentary 'The Tech of Shrek 2' and seeing how the film was made, seeing how many people it took to make the film, seeing the amount of computers – but the best thing was seeing the Playblasts and Breakdowns on the artists Computer screens! At 7 I did not understand it very well at all. But that's what sparked my interest.

Intel’s New Processor Speeds Up Video Rendering

http://provideocoalition.com/jantunes/story/intels...

Intel's new consumer processor is not on the same league as their Xeon chips, those used in workstations, but the Haswell-E is the fastest processor many working videographers may need, at a much lower price than the Xeon costs. Recent tests show results that may surprise everybody. The entry level processor costs close to $400.
