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

How to Chroma Key in AE

Chroma key effects have more or less been used in filmmaking since the 1930s. While early technologies (and even computerized blue screen effects) might not have the same effect on us now as they did on audiences at the time, the process has basically remained the same. Now, in the age of digital workflows, the chroma key process has become accessible to anyone with a digital camera, some lights, a green or blue backdrop, and an editing software like After Effects.

Why Rotoscoping Can Be the Most Helpful/Hated Tool

August 31, 2016, 05:57 AM

http://nofilmschool.com/2016/08/why-rotoscoping-ca...

Rotoscoping is a tedious task. It requires hours of tracing over footage frame by frame to create a mask in order to separate unwanted elements from the shot. Usually you can avoid having to do it if you shoot on a green screen and are able to key out all of the stuff you don't want, but—if for some reason you were unable to do that, this video from Surfaced Studio will teach you how to rotoscope, as well as what steps you have to take in order to avoid having to do it altogether.

By Brady Betzel A common theme among editors and colorists these days is where to draw the line when asked to do more than their job description. Some editors want to stick to cutting, while others find it exciting to push their creative boundaries. Personally, the more options I have in my toolkit, Continue reading →August 31, 2016
