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

Okay, that title is a mouthful but this demonstration shows how Muscle simulators can be used to create realistic gaits in animated characters – adding realism to CGI characters

Had a really fun time on Monsters University pre-production. Fantastic crew. Most of the time was spent testing character rigs as they were being built so it was great to take a break to animate this rough animation test. Found the audio of some dude from Spain somewhere. The animation was also used to test early hair/cloth simulation.

Chances are if you’re between the ages of 16 to 35, you’ve watched the FX animated hit, Archer. It’s one of those shows that appeals ever so perfectly to our inner man-child sensibilities. But I digress.

There are many ways to rig one thing in 3D, and here Rigging Artist Arun Lingasamy shares one technique for creating a rig for a spring in Autodesk Maya. Quite often something will look simple, as in the case of rigging a spring, what you want is a scaling action along one axis, but doing so will also scale the form of the swept shape that makes up the spring.

Secondary action is ancillary to the primary action of an animation. Secondary actions help to create the illusion of life, heightening interest and adding some realism – whether in character animation, visual effects, or motion graphics. Tutorials that deal with this basic idea explicitly in After Effects are rare.
