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

Motion-capture technology has become a regular fixture in today's games, visual effects and film industries. The development and production of state-of-the-art systems over the last decade has enabled the creation of photoreal, computer-generated characters complete with realistic emotions and movements, that have been brought to life by capturing a human actor's performance.

It may be a comedy, but 22 Jump Street ramps up the action and effects to feature truck chases, huge crowds, a helicopter crash and even an unexpected octopus encounter. fxguide talks to visual effects supervisor Edwin Rivera about some of the work that made up the 600-odd VFX shots in the Phil Lord and Christopher Miller sequel.

Ghost the area behind that text—with InDesign. In this week’s InDesign Secrets, Anne-Marie Concepción shows you how to add a low-opacity fill to text frames that makes type easier to read, while still revealing a hint of the image beneath it. Ghosting an image isn’t spooky; it’s just a great trick.

In this in-depth look at Doug Liman’s time-splicing Edge of Tomorrow, we talk to Sony Pictures Imageworks, Framestore, Cinesite, The Third Floor and Prime Focus World about how they helped orchestrate some of the film’s biggest effects and its previs and stereo conversion – including complicated (and crazy) tentacled mimics, power exo-suits, the detailed beach attack, the training room and the final Paris raid. We explore newly written Maya plugins and the toolsets behind animation, destru...

As we dived head first in to a 4k and more future, we should get used to seeing the PetaByte word. But The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s amazing data load is just part of the technical story.

How do you reference the original ‘man in a suit’ style Godzilla film with its innate ‘monster emotion’ and at the same time bring the classic up to date. Yes you use modern technology but don’t forget the bears.
