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

For decades, the color film available to consumers was built for white people. The chemicals coating the film simply weren't adequate to capture a diversity of darker skin tones. And the photo labs established in the 1940s and 50s even used an image of a white woman, called a Shirley card, to calibrate the colors for printing...

Technology can make cameras easier to use. But what does this mean for professionals? Is it still art if your camera does almost everything for you? technologyArtcameraUser InterfaceAutomationmacrofunction

Visiting the city of Amsterdam and attending the largest broadcast and film-related trade show in Europe somehow became for me my personal New Year. The fact that it coincides with the end of the holidays certainly helps in this regard. This year’s IBC seemed a bit smaller than the previous … see more →

Some times you may have to divide your fibermesh to more parts. Setting up multiple hair modifiers is a very time consuming process in 3dsmax. Reza Asaie wrote a script that can speed up this process. Also you can Change all your hair modifiers setting at same time. We hope it will be useful

https://www.aotg.com/cinema-4d-tutorial-create-a-3d-3d-text-scene/

More @ ratemyfuneral.com - In this tutorial we will take a look at building a 3D text scene containing some 3D 3D text. The original image was submitted by Andy on the tutorial for Recreating a Piece of Art. We will look at some basics of creating 3D text. Beveling, extruding, splines, lighting with Infidio Pro, a bit of basic physics. All sorts. Its a veritable feast of random Cinema 4D techniques.
