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

When Adobe unveiled warp stabilizer just a few years ago, the possibilities were endless. No more buying multi-thousand dollar rigs. No more wasted time on set. You could very easily fix it in post. But then we actually tried warp stabilizer and the results were not amazing. In fact, they were quite the opposite.

Bullet Time in Real Time

September 3, 2015, 09:16 AM

The Wachowski Brothers popularized the camera array effect known as ‘bullet time’ in their 1999 film The Matrix. Creating the visual effect — where time appears to freeze as the audience’s point of view moves around the subject in real time — has traditionally required an array of expensive, high speed cameras all programmed to capture the scene at exactly the right moment. It’s a complexity that has kept the effect out of the hands of the average videographer… until now. Exam...
