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

We think it’s fair to say that Wes Anderson has one of the most immediately recognizable styles of any contemporary filmmaker. But until we stumbled across this color palette whipped up by graphic designer Beth Mathews, we didn’t realize how much it had to do with his color choices. As Mathews points out, the colors Anderson...

I was recently invited to try out the TrackX and SliceX FCP plugins from CoreMelt. I’ve needed to use motion tracking on a few jobs in the past and have always relied on After Effects for the task. The TrackX and SliceX plugins from CoreMelt offer up the ability to do motion tracking directly with the FCP Interface which is a real positive for me.

In this tutorial, we're going to be looking at the animation title style of the movie "Seventh Son". We will make this awesome chisel bevel and animation logo using Cinema 4d. Then in After Effects we will see a simple compositing technique on how add dust particles and grunge textures inside Optical Flares, for an amazing final impact. The actual example "Seventh Son" title is being used just for training purposes and is not to be used in a personal project, without permission from the original...

The popularity and direction of Physically Based Rendering (PBR) dictates that your scene is better off in some sort of real world scale. This is also true for previs artist who need to constantly work in real world units to match the sets and positioning that they are working with.
