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

My free Apple Motion webinar: Exploring animation

July 24, 2015, 12:01 PM

http://alex4d.com/notes/item/my-free-apple-motion-...

It took me years before I got my mind around Apple Motion. I spent a long time trying to learn how to do complex multi-layer keyframed motion graphics like I used to make in Adobe After Effects. I clicked with Motion once I had a more straightforward task: make a simple plugin for Final Cut Pro X. After making many Final Cut plugins and motion graphics sequences with Motion, I've come to know it well. One of the two sessions I taught at the 2015 FCPX Creative Summit was about using Motion...

3DS Max 2016 review

July 23, 2015, 07:11 AM

http://cgpress.org/archives/cgreviews/3ds-max-2016...

This year Autodesk has released version 2016 of its 3D Swiss Army knife application. 19 years after its initial release in April 1996 (or 25 years, if you want to count all the way back to 3D Studio), the software is still going strong. Other 3D software, however, have grown in capabilities and popularity on the side, offering stronger competition. Be it motion graphics, Archviz, video games or VFX, 3DS Max is not alone.
