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

Houdini For Softimage ICE Users

In a post SoftImage world, Javier Meroño offers a Side FX Houdini orientation for Softimage ICE users. To me Houdini would be the most loci gal connection for the people left hanging by the news that SoftImage will no longer be made or supported After this latest version 2015. It would be the closest thing to SoftImage’s ICE environment, being that Houdini is a completely procedural application.

I think it's fair to say at this point that over the next ten years, children as early has middle school will be expected to know video editing in some simple form. It is similar to the way they are expected to know MS Word, Power Point, Google Docs, (we're a long way from the days of poster-board and scotch tape). By high school, FTP file sharing, and blogging or basic web development.Read More
