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

I previously posted links to free textures, lens flares, etc, and thought I would expand it to cover video clips, images and audio. Often when I teach classes people ask about free resources, so I hope this is helpful for those with limited budgets.

Happy weekend! Our release of time-stamped comments has kept us busy over the last week, but that hasn't kept us from finding some good reading material for you.

I've been fortunate enough to spend the past few days at Siggraph at the L.A. Convention Center. Some highlights came during the production sessions for the making of Hugo, The Avengers, and Brave. It was interesting to get a glimpse at the thought process that went behind these mega-blockbuster hits.

Muzzle flashes and other gun effects have been popular topics. Muzzle flashes by themselves are useless—you need the flash, smoke, a shell, a gun, bullet hits, audio, and more. Here's a few resources to help you put together something believable.

A common theme at this years SIGGRAPH was how different studios are handling the unique demands of shows with ever increasing scope and complexity. Two examples of this were Method Studios' work on Wrath of the Titans, and CineSite's work on John Carter. These two productions had enormous environments and sets that quickly defied their standard workflow techniques of wrangling data. In both cases their teams adopted scalable data driven descriptions of the environments as separately...
