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

The McGurk effect is a compelling demonstration of how we all use visual speech information. The effect shows that we can't help but integrate visual speech into what we 'hear'.

10 Movies That Stole Sounds From Other Films

December 31, 2015, 10:11 AM

It's nearly impossible for modern directors to keep references to their favorite movies or directors out of their own films, with easter eggs, props, and even lines of dialogue being planted as an homage. But sometimes, it's the sounds of the movie that show where the real influences lie - even if they're nearly impossible to catch. Here are Screen Rant's 10 Movies That Stole Their Sounds From Other Films.

10 Amazing Movie Fight Fails You Missed

Even if a movie follows skilled sword fighters, warriors, or martial arts experts, it's still actors who need to play out the scenes. And as good as fight choreography might be, mistakes are bound to happen. And the bigger the budget or drama, the funnier those slip ups become. Here are Screen Rant's 10 Movie Mistakes That Slipped Through Editing FIGHTS EDITION.

A common mistake when animating walkcycles

December 30, 2015, 05:33 AM

https://www.aotg.com/a-common-mistake-when-animating-walkcycles/

Looking back at some older walkcycles I've animated a few years back the other day, I noticed I kept seeing the same mistake and I've seen it in other walkcycles from beginner animators too. So I thought I'd make a video discussing it. Hope it helps!

Horizon's look a ILM and VFX - Part 1

BBC's Horizon looks at ILM and visual effects. This show is from 1985 and is a true gem. I thought it would be important and educational to show the interesting bits of the show, focusing on subjects such as optical printing, matte painting and even rotoscoping.
