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

Period drama has always been popular, but since Downton Abbey it's experienced an explosion in demand. And more recent examples like Wolf Hall, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and Ripper Street have benefitted from a healthy dose of VFX mastery that helps bring these bygone eras to vivid life.

One of my favorite changes to After Effects recently isn’t a flashy feature at all, but it’s a change that has already saved me thousands of clicks when dealing with expression errors. Beginning in After Effects CC 2015 (13.5), there are two major changes in what occurs when an expression fails to evaluate: Expression errors appear in a warning banner at the bottom of the Composition and Layer panels instead of in a dialog box. A failing expression is not disabled. The expression wi...

Since October 2014, all delivery of TV programmes to UK TV stations must be by file: no video tapes are allowed any more. As part of standardisation, the Digital Production Partnership has been set up to keep the post production industry up to date with TV show technical specifications. As these specs apply to new UK production, they are likely to apply to any TV programmes made elsewhere bought by UK TV networks. If you have been charged with preparing an output destined for UK TV, visit t...

The multiyear strategic licensing agreement gives Pixar access to Nvidia’s quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) rendering methods. These methods can make rendering more efficient, especially when powered by GPUs and other massively parallel computing architectures. As part of the agreement, Nvidia will also contribute r...

For you Peep Show fans out there (and we know you’re out there), composer Daniel Pemberton is the man who created the British comedy’s incredibly catchy theme song, “Pip Pop Plop.” If you’ve never seen the show, you start watching it—it’s consistently hilarious..
