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

Make no doubt about it, the visual effects in Marvel films are a big deal. They’re a drawing card for audiences and an integral part in telling the superhero stories. But how do so many complicated shots go through the studio’s global pipeline?

I’d seen none of the Marvel movies outside the Iron Man trilogy and wasn’t planning to dive into the MCU with Dr. Strange. But positive early responses piqued my interest, and then I got a curious invitation to a screening preceded by a technical demonstration of the Dolby Atmos sound system.

WorkBench.tv’s Joe Clay was reminded of a technique he used a while ago, by noticing the new Photoshop Splash Screen. Joe shows how you can create and animate something similar to the tiny planet effect. This however, is more of a tunnel world effect in After Effects. The PS splash screen is by Amr Elshamy, The Post A Twist on the Tiny Planet Effect in After Effects originally appeared and published on %%BLOGLINK%,by lesterbanks

Using Soundbites & Narration to help make Edit Dec

When you make an edit, it's an important decision. Each edit should advance your story. So when do you make an edit? There are many reasons. Your story should have a rhythm, like a good song has a good beat. How do you find your rhythm? Here's an idea. Follow the rhythm of the narration and the soundbites.
