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

Adobe and Mettle VR: 360 degrees better

June 21, 2017, 09:40 AM

http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/the-latest-an...

Adobe is at the forefront of 360 and VR production. While our VR workflows take creators from capture to edit to output, our users have been relying on the SkyBox Suite of plug-ins from Mettle for VR transitions, titles, and effects. It made perfect sense for us to make these plug-ins available to our subscribers so that creators of 360/VR content will have a truly seamless, end-to-end workflow. “We believe that making virtual-reality content should be as easy as possible for creators.

War for the Planet of the Apes VFX Video with Andy

Every year that goes by in which Andy Serkis isn’t seriously considered for an Oscar nomination is another year wasted. That ship conceivably could have sailed once The Lord of the Rings movies wrapped since Gollum was Serkis’ strongest character up to that point in his career, but he’s gone on to improve upon his motion-capture performances each and every time he steps into the technologically advanced suit. And that’s without even mentioning the growing number of motion-capture protege...

Learn How to Make Air-Powered Blood Squibs for Gun

June 20, 2017, 06:08 AM

http://nofilmschool.com/2017/06/watch-learn-how-ma...

Crafting bloody effects is super entertaining, but when it comes to squibs, those little explosives that filmmakers use for bullet impacts, it's not all fun and games. These things can not only be dangerous in untrained hands, but using them requires permits that you may not have the time, money, or desire to deal with. But John Hess of Filmmaker IQ shows you a nifty way to circumvent all of the explosive stuff by making an air-powered squib rig that produces results that are just as good. Check...
