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

Affordable Motion Capture using Your VR Device

Here is VR tech providing another interesting application that is relevant to our field. IKinema has introduced a new mocap / body tracking software package that uses off the shelf VR hardware like the HTC Vive. The accuracy looks very good indeed, as these VR units are already very precise and near latency free.

Now whether avoiding basic Python is good or bad in the long term is up to you, but smartShelves allows you to create custom shelves and assign hotkeys for your nodes/gizmos. It makes it into a drag & drop process any dummy can do.

This is probably one of the coolest and easiest post-production tricks you can do in After Effects CC, especially when you need to deal with a clip with some sort of camera movement involved in it. And the best part is that the possibilities of this effective trick are virtually limitless once you get it right.
