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

Project I-M is a 3 minute VFX short done by students. None of us had any previous VFX experience before. In this video – we will show you how we managed to get our hardest VFX shot in the project. We, Ivaylo Petrov and Gerald Bussink, will pass through the full process – simulation with Realflow, setting up Maya and rendering with V-Ray and compositing it all in Nuke.

I've always enjoyed using Keylight, the built-in After Effects chroma key tool. It offers so many more refinement options than the standard chroma key effect. If you are an After Effects user, I'm sure you have developed your own methods and best practices for using Keylight. However, editors will inevitably run across footage that's very difficult to key cleanly, whether it's stray hair, translucent fabric, or talent who decided to wear green on the day of the shoot.
