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

Have you ever wished that After Effects was a bit faster? I’m guessing that every After Effects user has stared at the blue rendering bar hoping for a miracle. Let’s assume you’ve got a modest budget to spend on either a new computer system, or upgrading the one you’ve got. How best to spend the money?

How They Did It: SFX Supervisor Mark Byers on Gett

November 21, 2019, 09:03 PM

I got involved with the show thru Fox producer Kevin Halloran, who had me meet with James Mangold to talk about the cars and how we would achieve the look James wanted. We wanted to approach the car gags and all of the car racing shots as practical effects as much as possible. We wanted to get the cars, the driving, and the crashes with real cars and real drivers, or actors in real cars, as much as we could.

How They Did It: VFX Supervisor Olivier Dumont on

I joined Ford v Ferrari after interviews with Fox VP of Visual Effects Joe Conmy and then James Mangold. James could tell you more about why he chose to have me on board, but I feel we had a similar vision of how to integrate VFX into this movie — both practically and visually, in order to get them as invisible as possible. The plan was to shoot a lot of “real” references, either for lighting or car behaviors, so that we could get as close to the reality as we can. I was on set every day, ...
