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

We've sort of made it into the era of digital cinema and HDTV. What's next? 4K? 8K? higher frame rate? higher dynamic range? wider color gamut? more immersive sound? direct brain stimulation? Will we still need lenses? How about cameras? Will this list of questions ever end?

Rogue Vfx Breakdown
May 19, 2015, 09:31 AM
http://www.cgmeetup.net/home/rogue-vfx-breakdown/
Fuel looked after all 180 visual effects shots for Rogue, including 120 CG crocodile shots. Director Greg Mclean’s brief was very clear – this is not a super crocodile, it is just a large member of the species doing only what it usually does – swim, attack, eat, sleep. In fact, the size of the Rogue croc is based on Bert, a huge saltwater crocodile that was actually found in the Northern Territory.
RODELink Wireless Lavalier Initial Test

You voted that you wanted a review of the RØDELink wireless audio system a few months back and here is the initial test as I put together the full review over the next few weeks. So far, this system looks like a nice fit for enthusiasts and pros working with small crews. One thing that really impressed me was that the Filmmaker kit comes with the RØDE Lavalier microphone which on its own is normally a $250 US microphone which is more than half the price of the filmmaker kit.

mocha Pro: Align Surface Insert tutorial Pt. 2
May 18, 2015, 12:50 PM
https://www.aotg.com/mocha-pro-align-surface-insert-tutorial-pt-2/
In this in-depth sequel to a recent insert tutorial, Imagineer Systems product specialist, Mary Poplin, shows you that align surface and the insert tool are for more than screens and logo replacements. Any time you create a clean plate in context from a still frame in your shot, you can use the Align Surface tool to make sure your insert can be tracked and patched into the shot correctly. This means you can use the insert module for all kinds of shots, including matte paintings.
