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

In our last lesson, in our look at learning Motion 5, continued our discussion on cameras in Apple’s Motion 5 (click here for the tutorial), and I showed you a very easy way to animate cameras in your composition, which is simply by using the camera behaviors. It’s very quick and very easy.

CG Generalist Tim van Helsdingen recently posted an amazing mountain river simulation created in Houdini, rendered with Mantra. Tim wanted to tinker with large scale fluid sims. The results were nothing short of stellar. One of the things that made the scene more realistic, is the use of wet maps.

What do yo think of when someone mentions the Vononoi Fracture tool in C4D R18? The new fracture tool opens up plenty of new possibilities for rigid dynamics fun in C4D. How about cracking an egg? How about id that was a soft-boiled egg?

If you are frustrated with After Effects UX at times, you are not alone. The twirl-downs, the number of clicks needed to make things happen, and the modal windows all hinder you while you are only trying to get things done — and mask editing.

WorkBench.tv’s Joe Clay was reminded of a technique he used a while ago, by noticing the new Photoshop Splash Screen. Joe shows how you can create and animate something similar to the tiny planet effect. This however, is more of a tunnel world effect in After Effects.
