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

In the course of my “industry research” I came across a very cool little application called “Plotagon“. It is a simple integrated script and storyboard application with real time playback and voices of what is written, very similar to a gaming engine...

The chance to work with the After Effects team is among the things that drew me to work at Adobe. Here’s a look at the folks whose work has helped define motion graphics and who keep breaking new ground:

Parent Constraints in Maya are relatively simple, but it always does some good to completely understand what is going on under the hood, as there may be times when the Parent Constraint will do things that you don’t necessarily want when rigging. As an example, the parent constraint can add another parent constraint node to alread constraint objects, and this might complicate your rigs a bit.

This year, resolve to keep these five key resolutions. Do so and your data is safer, creeps won't use your credit cards, and you won't be a jerk.

We asked our social media groups for what they felt were the best films for Editing, VFX, Sound, and Color. We had many suggestions for Gravity in all categories, and a major discussion that almost came to blows over The Wolf of Wall Street, but we've collected what everyone has suggested...

In this video, directors Joel and Ethan Coen explain how their collaboration with T Bone Burnett created a musical sound that was as important as dialogue in capturing the early ’60s folk music scene in Inside Llewyn Davis. Here, they explain how they and Oscar Isaac pulled it off in the CBS Films release. I had the opportunity to moderate a panel in Deadline’s Contenders Event last month.

It has already passed another year, 2013 , and the feeling is that everything goes very fast, link up one year with another without realizing it, but also, and paradoxically, if we look back, we see that a lot has happened over this past year. We have reviewed the articles we have published this year and we offer you a list of the 10 most visited , those who have been of more interest to most of you.

Probably the most effective way to add production value to your project during post, is to apply a really nice color grade to your footage. Color correction and grading can completely transform the look of your video, fix problem areas, and make otherwise dreary shots look amazing. One of the most common looks...
