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

10 ways to bring your 3D character art to life

You've made the coolest new character ever. You show it to your director or client – and they just yawn. The chances are that it wasn't the fault of your design, sculpt or paint job, but your pose.

Rapunzel Vs. Tangled

It wasn’t so very long ago that it was fashionable to accuse any film by Disney of being a terrible and dangerous version of a nice, sweet and instructive old fairy tale. But when I asked my friends for their favourite version of an old fairy tale, the fact is, they hadn’t any answers. To criticize is easy and free, but recently, films such as Tangled have developed a certain kudos – everybody seems to approve of the vintage Disney format employed. At last, everybody loves Disney again.

There’s too many settings and functions in Blender to remember what each one does. And Google searches often raise more questions than they answer!

QueueMaster Automates the After Effects Render Que

The Render Queue in Ae could stand a bit of love from the development team over at Adobe. Certainly it is fine the way that it is, but it could be so much more. As a brilliant example of how it could be better, Dave Jacobson launches his new script for After Effects, QueueMaster, which […]

Creating The Boxtrolls by Hand

September 22, 2014, 09:48 AM

http://www.thecredits.org/2014/09/the-many-influen...

The Boxtrolls is a stop-animation fable directed by Anthony Stacchi and Graham Annable about the foul monsters who live beneath the cobblestone streets of Cheesebridge. The deal with this Victorian-era hamlet is that it’s obsessed by money and class, a posh place where the air is redolent with the stench of fine cheese. Chesebridgeians love their cheese, so this is exactly what the villainous Boxtrolls prey on—at night, they crawl out from their dank, fetid sewer homes and steal the resident...
