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

Making of Church Destruction

It was very specific destruction scenario ( the director vision ) so i had to fracture the church very carefully to achieve the perfect look and the finest details, and in the other hand to control the size of details which can be heavy to process, so i used a Voronoi Fracturing tool in Houdini, and developed some new patterns for the bricks in Vop’s and shops inside Houdini’s special procedural environment.

Emmy® award recognizes that FrameForge Previz Studio does so much more than just create storyboards: it solves problems, it allows for experimentation and exploration, and it makes the preproduction process far more valuable in ways that even the most gorgeously drawn storyboards never can.
