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

Deforming Softbody Meshes in 3ds Max

August 15, 2016, 05:31 AM

http://www.cgmeetup.net/home/deforming-softbody-me...

Lucid is capable of taking animation from a mesh within 3dsmax and passing it into the simulation. The mesh participates in simulation while retaining its animated deformation. Use this effect to simulate wiggly things like snakes and worms, creating their own locomotion. In this tutorial we go through the basics of this process and add a snake-like object to the scene with a few clicks.

Sunday Sound Thought 33 – So Many Different Ways

As the year continues, many of these posts will be philosophical in nature. Some will be in contradiction to previous postings. These are not intended as truths or assertions, they’re merely thoughts…ideas. Think of this as stream of consciousness over a wide span… If you’re not on the Facebook Sound Design group (the one with […]

Spark CG Society: INTERVIEW: SAUSAGE PARTY

August 13, 2016, 05:16 AM

Sausage Party is an R-rated romp inside the lives of supermarket foods as they wage war against humans. Adults-only animated features with wide releases are rare beasts, but creators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are perhaps hoping to buck that trend. If they do so, they’ll have also broken without one of the major animation studios.

Day 4: Teaching Music Montage and Parallel Action

August 12, 2016, 05:53 AM

http://editstock.com/blogs/all/day-4-teaching-musi...

The project for day four was Incubate. This commercial is for a real phone app that lets you leave messages for people up to thirty years into the future. The commercial features a chase scene between a group of zombie women and a man who has the last can of water on earth. What I love about this commercial is the parallel action during the chase. Most of the commercial was filmed MOS, which places more emphasis on the story that the video and music tell since they must guide the editor.More

This is a 5 part course outline is written by Misha Tenenbaum, editor and founder of EditStock.com. When I first heard that my editing students were middle schoolers I wasn’t sure if they could handle the material I had prepared for them, but what could I do by that point? I had already landed in Hawaii.More
