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

No-one likes boring and repetitive work, so this After Effects tutorial demonstrates how to create many different versions of the same animation with only one click. If you have to produce 100 name straps for a conference, or 500 lower thirds for a broadcaster, then this will show you how to do all of the tedious work automatically. Just design your "main" composition and different versions can be generated with a single click.

We meet up with prop builders Mike McMaster, Gordon Tarpley, and Max Cervantes, who worked together to build an awesome 1:1 replica of a Sandcrawler tread from Star Wars for this year's Celebration. The build team explains how they completed the project in just a few weeks, making this wonderful backdrop for the droids and Jawas they've also built!

"Supporting Visual Effects" may be seamless and invisible, but they can still be crucial to a show. Erik Henry, vfx supervisor for "Black Sails" -- last year's Emmy winner for supporting vfx -- reveals just how much of the series' gritty visuals is created on a computer.

Alec thought it was worthwhile to revisit the Deadpool surgery head video we posted some time ago and explain the process of how the effect was accomplished. Enjoy!

With its dramatic coastline, bleak moorlands and rolling hills, the picturesque West Country of England has long been popular with filmmakers seeking landscapes filled with both character, and a sense of history.

Depending on who you ask, snapping is either the greatest feature in After Effects or the worst. However, despite what the critics say, it’s an incredibly helpful feature and definitely one that you should judge for yourself.
