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

The 20 Lamest Monster Costumes of All Time

October 28, 2014, 09:56 AM

http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2014/10/the-...

The terrible monster costume has, oddly enough, been a fixture of worldwide cinema for roughly the exact same amount of time as the terrible monster movie. And that’s wonderful, because there are few things that make for a more enjoyable cheesy monster movie experience than a guy in an ill-fitting, badly designed, clunkily assembled suit of hard rubber. They recall a more innocent time, when audience expectations were not nearly so high. We don’t get to see costumes like these any more—the...

5K Gaming on the iMac Retina 5K

Once a game is fill-rate limited, every increase in pixels drawn will produce a proportional drop in performance. Going from 2560x1440 to 5120x2880 is 4x the pixels, you'd expect a 4x drop in the frame rate. Yet only Tomb Raider came close at 3.5x. The other six games ranged from a 2x to 2.8x drop in frames per second.

Special effects makeup artists have historically been the driving force behind what makes a movie "magical." But, since the dawn of the digital age, makeup artists have had to adapt their style and technique to rediscover where they fit in the movie-making business.
