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

It's always a good idea to make sure your editing arsenal is stocked with new, efficient techniques for a wide range of different tasks, whether it's smoothing out keyframes more quickly, or throwing down a sweet ass text animation with almost zero effort. In this super helpful tutorial, Shutterstock's Todd Blankenship offers up a ton of great tips and tricks that you can use in Adobe After Effects for a myriad of different applications.

This is Allan McKay. Welcome to Episode 170! I’m speaking with the writers at Cinefex, on the last 40 years of visual effects and filmmaking. I say it a lot — but I’m really excited about this one. I’m sure 99.9 percent of you know what Cinefex is. A lot of us grew up on this magazine / amazing looking book; and you’d have a stack of them on your desk as a professional. It’s been the backbone of our business, even before the internet.
