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

Day 1 at Adobe Max

This is my first MAX, and I naively looked at the map and my schedule and said "ah, this will be easy. It's like a fraction of the size NAB is, so I won't die!"

This talk attempts to break down the seemingly complex structure of the Houdini software and the VEX language into simple principles, relating it to C style languages in structure.

How Ireland's VFX Community Is Courting Hollywood

October 19, 2017, 05:06 AM

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/how-irelands...

If you're in L.A. or London and you close your eyes and think about Ireland, you don't necessarily think about visual effects," says Jim Duggan, managing director of Dublin-based postproduction house Screen Scene. "You think about green fields and castles and locations." While the country's lush scenery may always remain the top draw, its growing post and VFX offerings are beginning to grab the world's attention. Screen Scene has worked on Game of Thrones since the first season (on which it did ...

New script called Super Lines was released a week or two ago. I was originally going to do a longer look at this script, but it really is so damn simple.

The latest release of Illustrator CC supports variable fonts, an OpenType font format that offers typeface personalisation, which might include properties such as weight, width, slant, and optical size, to name a few. As more font foundries and typographers adopt this technology, you should see more and more variable fonts available to you in the future.

The Invisible Art of Editing?

October 17, 2017, 10:22 AM

https://cuttingroomtales.wordpress.com/2017/10/17/...

Invisible vs. high-profile editing   I started in the cutting room at an exciting time for editing. The high-octane style popularised by music videos shown on MTV and made possible by editing on computer rather than on celluloid, was starting to filter through to feature films. In some cases it led to the sort of … Continue reading →
