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

Tribute to Hayao Miyazaki

Animator “dono” is responsible for this impressive super-montage of Hayao Miyazaki’s work. Recreating Miyazaki’s settings with the animation software Blender, dono then places the 2D characters into this 3D amplification of their original worlds. It’s technically adroit and, if you’re a fan, quite lovely.

Lunch with Philip and Greg: Alex Gollner

As part of my recent trip to California in June, I took part in a new video podcast: Lunch with Philip and Greg. When I started I wasn't sure of how the show worked, so monopolised the ‘conversation’ and talk pretty quickly. I talked about my first Final Cut plugin, my most complex Final Cut Classic plugin. I pontificated on 4K, HDR, 360º video, this blog, Pat Inhofer’s Tao of Color blog and newsletter, why Final Cut Pro X plugins shouldn't be as complex as Motion.  After a whil...

Tuning a room requires a systematic approach that addresses all the necessary components of quality sound in order to achieve an emotional connection with our music.

This video is a bit experimental, slightly different to my normal tutorials. I take a look at 10 things that I think are important (and useful) when you are starting out using Cinema 4D. Perhaps if you are a beginner to Cinema 4D, this could be an interesting watch.
