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

It has been a while since we have seen any additions to the RigBox Reborn project. Jennifer Conley set out on a mission to revamp and revise her personal rigging toolbox for Maya that is comprised of smaller more flexible components and tools.

Ed Brown is set to aggressively right the wrongs of the c4d tutorial word by “cutting the crap” (i’m paraphrasing it down a bit). Ed hopes to provide straight up, to the point, and pragmatic tutorials for Cinema 4D. Ed will offer tutorials he calls “Pro Tips” that will be work and industry focused to give you what you need to get the job done. Sounds great! Oh, and by the way, there is a bit of cursing involved as well.

You will probably remember a while back, the Paul Clements’ Breakdown of his “Ministry of Sound” headphones spot, and the huge response of tutorials that came after that from people trying to find out how most of it was done.

Autodesk’s Daryl Obert offers a look at using both render layers and render passes in Maya to put together a composite, in… well, Maya composite. This is a great overview for rendering out pass images from Maya that use both render layers and passes together.

Avid Media Composer version 7.X can now reference 4K media. You can use a function called frame flex to move around within a 4K video frame.

It is always interesting to see someone’s workflow if not for new techniques, but to find new combinations of ones that you already know. Looking around the web, you may find there are many ways for animating type in Ae. There is no definitive method for animating type, the best way gives you the best result in the shortest amount of time with the least headache.

Inspired by the animated movie “Frozen” released in late 2013, John Dickinson of Motionworks shows how he combined an Artbeats stock footage clip using only the default Adobe After Effects tools, to create a realistic frosty window effect in this tutorial. Also included are the project files to follow along with and make your creative video effect.

Insydium’s Mike Batchelor takes a look at how to get motion blur with X-Particles, when using the standard X-Particles material. The standard material and the physical renderer inside of Cinema 4D does not support motion blur, but the standard renderer does. This is easily handled by adding a motion blur tag, and enabling a sub-frame motion blur effect in the render settings.
