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

For visual effects wizards Kevin Baillie and Camille Cellucci working on "The Walk" was one of the toughest but most rewarding challenges of their long careers. As they explain in our webcam chat (watch below), convincing audiences that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was walking on a tight-rope stretched across the twin towers of the World Trade Center took a combination of training, practical effects, and CGI slight of hand.

Apple Motion 5 – 101: Lesson 14 – 2D Text PT 1

In the next few lessons in our look at Apple Motion 5, we’re going to take a look at text creation, inside of your project. Creating text is much more than simply typing it on the screen. When we’re doing you’ll have a good understanding of the actual creation of text, adding shadows and even strokes to your footage to create a stylistic look that any producer would be happy with!
