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

Quick Tip: High Pass Sharpening in AE

In After Effects, I will show you how to use high pass sharpening just like in Photoshop. We will essentially be selective sharpening our footage without tracking a single mask. By finding the edges in our shot, we can use that as a matte to determine which sections should be sharpened.

LAS VEGAS — While Devil & Demon Strategy’s (www.devildemonstrategy.com) parent company Silverdraft parked its rig outside of the South and Central Halls of this year’s NAB, and featured “the Devil’s Playground,” its array of supercomputing technology designed to support rendering for feature film (it was actively working on two projects while at the show), president Ted Schilowitz shared his own company’s mission with NAB attendees. 

The 4K paradox

April 11, 2014, 09:38 AM

http://www.redsharknews.com/technology/item/1610-t...

On the face of it, 4K is a done deal. That was the rapid conclusion I came to when I arrived at the NAB show in Las Vegas this year. It was abundantly clear that 4K had moved from being somewhat speculative and experimental, to being current, almost mainstream technology. Whereas last year there were a few 4K screens from major manufacturers - all of them very big and very expensive - this year, they were all over the place, and at all prices. At the top of the pile were the color-calibra...

Project Gooseberry – A Sheep in an Open Cloud

Normally when a content creation software adds cloud features, that basically means that restrictions are employed. The software might not work anymore without internet access and options like storing assets in the cloud are meant to further bind a customer to the software. Blender is doing it differently.

Avid dips their toes into the Subscription Waters.

Now Avid is dipping their toes into the subscription model and for editors everywhere, this is a GREAT development. Avid offering the subscription model plays well into the small shop / independent editor / independent post house extremely well.   Read my full NAB Show 2014 report at the Creative Cow.
