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

Advanced Composition Grids from Nik Ska will create a wide variety of grid systems in After Effects that are modular and completely customizable creating guide layers out of shape layer groups making the Advanced Composition Grids extremely useful.

One of the greatest things I like about Maya is that it offers you the ability to have more than one approach to any given task, some can end up being more complicated than necessary and some are really simple and elegant. Simplicity is the technique at hand here, where Robert Joosten walks though how to create an animatable picot in Maya, using constraints.

The film opens like a 3D IMAX documentary. Astronauts floating in the largest void possible, space. The 3D draws us into an incredibly immersive 13 minute opening scene that culminates in the most intense destruction imaginable.

NEW YORK — Over the last 30 days, NetApp has been meeting casually with users and potential users on both coasts. During SMPTE in Los Angeles, they hosted a dinner with CTO/engineers from a variety of large post houses and film studios. Last week in New York City, they held a cocktail party in conjunction […]

Watercolour on paper is a popular motion graphics style. For my latest experiment while playing with the Foam and Turbulent Displace effects, I started zeroing in on a watercolour look, that while still rough is pretty convincing.

Admittedly, there are many features in After Effects that I check out and then dismiss without a useful path to projects, Brainstorm happens to be one of them. Taking a look at the BrainStorm feature in After Effects, Daniel Brodesky places some practicality to Brainstorm, with this general overview of this little known tool.

The V-Ray FrameBuffer allows you to load the various render passes which can be handy to see the initial rendered output for comparison. If however you are using Arnold, this would be a missed feature inside the Maya Render view window.

We all have our own way to handle language versioning, some may be more effective than others, but the fact remains that if you have a commercial spot with 10 shots that needs to be rendered with four different languages, simple math states that there will be 40 versions.
