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

Look Effects breaths life into the zombie Films

For a breed of monster with no communication skills and little motivation other than to chase down their next meal, zombies have proven extraordinarily versatile as a metaphor for society's various ills. In the case of Jonathan Levin's witty Warm Bodies, that target is the loneliness of our modern society: R, the film's romantic lead, just wants to make a connection - but that's not so easy when your heart has stopped beating and you hunger for brains.

Faces are the most recognized conduit of emotion. To quote John Cleese’s BBC documentary Faces, ‘We don’t put photos of our loved one’s feet on our walls and desks, we put pictures of their faces.” For a long time it has therefore been the target of computer graphics research to solve being able to produce CG photoreal faces. In this article we will explore the area of digital faces, focusing primarily on the work done by the team at USC ICT and the various companies and films they ha...
