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 simple and enticing fun of snapping Lego bricks together will live in all of us as a fond memory of creating imaginative models as a kid. Now you can enjoy the same feeling in Cinema 4D with the new BrickGen plugin from C4Dzone.

In this Cinema 4D tutorial, we will review the Advanced System Presets for Xpresso in Cinema 4D. These nodes fall under the Advanced Tab because they are more "advanced". If they were easy they would be under the Easy Tab. To be honest, this tutorial is a bit of an exploration of these nodes. I don't have all the answers. There are some functions written into the node that I just couldn't figure out. Most I figured out 80 to 90 percent but there are a few parameters that left me scratching my he...
