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

In most cases, Text and Text Animation is a major aspect of any After Effects workflow, and text can be as simple as just letters on the screen, or you can be adding Strokes (text outlines) and even drop shadows and other third party effects, but the important thing to keep in mind is that as I always say, there’s a lot more going on under the hood of your elements, then you might be aware of.

The number of nominations for Mad Max: Fury Road may be surprising for an unashamed action flick, but the films appearing in the categories we care about most offered no such surprises – except perhaps that Pixar's The Good Dinosaur was missing from the Best Animated Feature Film.

Film Editing: The Style That Will Never Be Capture

January 25, 2016, 10:25 AM

http://blog.planet5d.com/2016/01/film-editing-the-...

I was recently having a conversation with someone who you could consider a veteran of the editing world. We were discussing our approaches to storytelling and the pace at which we should be telling these stories. I’ve recently been editing and shooting a reality television show so this was one of many similar conversations. Our backgrounds are entirely different, yet our approaches coalesced when we discussed the types of stories we liked telling.
