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

The C4D Zone posts a new tool for Cinema 4D that will allow you to measure and create dimensions in the viewport and in renders. If you are familiar to measure tools in other 3D applications, this is quite similar, although far superior.

Jeremy Fernsler takes a look at building a furbish shader in Maya, one that takes on the visual properties of what fabric looks like in real life. A lot of the concepts in this tutorial can be used in many other instances when creating shader networks.

Multi-Core rendering for After Effects. It is no secret that at it’s most basic level Ae is comically ineffective at multicore rendering individual frames. Thankfully 3rd party tools have popped to save the day, such as the BG Renderer Pro tool from aescripts. Not to mention the many, many tutorials on network rendering Ae files, and offloading After Effects renders to the superiorly threaded Adobe Media Encoder.

Technology is forever changing its course as well as its medium. With event producers preferring projection mapping for grabbing maximum eyeballs, most events are likely to feature cutting edge audio, video and lighting advancements in events making them even better.

The post notes that the lighting effect can happen in real life when you are taking a photograph of a light source that is much brighter than the surrounding environment.

Paul Conigliaro has a look at some workflow tricks for getting things done quickly. In this case, showing how you can use the After Effects Expression controls to drive color across an entire project. This can be a great time-saver, especially if you know that there will be a possibility of some color changes across all of your deliverables, including versioning or different brand, product or style colors.

In a post SoftImage world, Javier Meroño offers a Side FX Houdini orientation for Softimage ICE users. To me Houdini would be the most loci gal connection for the people left hanging by the news that SoftImage will no longer be made or supported After this latest version 2015. It would be the closest thing to SoftImage’s ICE environment, being that Houdini is a completely procedural application.
