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 Stephen Gray got in contact with us saying he had edited a short test film in RED 4K on Final Cut Pro X 10.1 and uploaded it to YouTube in 4K, we were impressed. FCP 10.1 was less than 24 hours old!

Jordana Berg, sobre editar con Coutinho y otras co

December 21, 2013, 02:35 PM

http://editorunderconstruction.blogspot.com/2013/1...

En el cine documental, y para ciertos realizadores -p.ej.: Eduardo Coutinho-, entre todo el material filmado, lo que más merece la pena son los momentos de "acontecimiento", esos en los que entre la realidad y el proceso fílmico quedan registrados como únicos y que cuentan un poco qué es el cine. En el cine de ficción también, se seleccionan momentos emotivos o de verosimilitud, personajes, localizaciones, destacables por algún motivo entre todo el material bruto filmado. Y en la vida...

Using X-Particles In MotionGraphics

X-Particles has always been an extremely powerful tool filling in some of the gaps in ease of use and flexibility in Cinema 4D. In a demonstration showing exactly how flexible and useful X-Particles can be, Mike Batchelor offers a look at using X-Particles in a motion graphics setting, walking though the creation of a mock TV ad for an audio CD.
