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

6 Reasons Modern Movie CGI Looks Surprisingly Crap

It's been over two decades since CGI came careening through the silver screen to murder cops, lawyers, and other civil servants in Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park.

Mad Max Flame Throwing Guitar is No CGI Trick

May 17, 2015, 01:36 PM

“Mad Max: Fury Road” is the opposite of subtle. There are massive explosions, hordes of dehydrated mutants, women being literally milked… It’s an insane wonderland of brutality and over-the-top visuals. But there is nothing crazier in the entire movie than the Doof Warrior, a blind mutant wearing a red onesie, riding a truck made out of amps and speakers who wields a flame-throwing guitar and never stops playing rock music.

Rhythm & Hues Vfx & Animation Software Showreel

For 19 years I worked at Rhythm and Hues Studios. It was an absolutely amazing time and I will always have fond memories of this unique company. We achieved a lot with comparatively limited resources and looking back I am in awe of what we as a company were able to do. This is true for both the quantity and quality of the produced imagery and for the software tools that were used to create them.

#CreativeFriday – Moving 3D Objects, Cameras and

May 15, 2015, 10:46 AM

I was asked a while ago to create an article on how to move 3D objects and cameras around in Photoshop CC and, in general how to work with the 3D scene. Having an ability to moving objects around a scene is the basic building blocks of putting something interesting in 3D in Photoshop CC together. Knowledge of this will smooth out the 3D Photoshop experience. The exercise and objective of this post is to take two individual objects, place them both into one scene and align them against ...
