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

Da Vinci’s Demons is the first television drama – or motion picture – to tackle the biography of the quintessential Renaissance man, Leonardo da Vinci. He is known for painting some of the world’s best-known masterpieces like The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper and also for being a brilliant inventor whose concepts for everything from flying machines, to submarines and military tanks were centuries ahead of their time.

Computer generated imagery (CGI) has been used for decades in films and on television shows to make the impossible come to life. Even when done to perfection, CGI is typically pretty easy to point out when you know to look…

Vikings, History Channel’s hit mini-series, is a lush adventure saga about a tribe of medieval Norsemen who ventured west into unknown waters and landed in the south of England where they pillaged and conquered. The 10-episode second season recently concluded airing, and a third season, to be shown in 2015, is about to start filming. Once again it will be shot in Ireland at the Ashford Studios on the outskirts of Dublin.

Clockwork VFX recently created a 3D animated boxing ad for the new "Transformers Battle Masters" game – a familiar, against-all-odds story about a scrappy boxer from the street, who gets his one shot at the championship. Only this time it’s Transformer arch-enemies Megatron and Optimus Prime battling in the ring. The :90 spot, for ad agency UPROAR!, New York, began airing in May.

Sciencegeek100 posted the following two image galleries taking a look at the visual effects used in films including The Avengers, RoboCop, Godzilla, Ender's Game, 300: Rise of an Empire, Man of Steel, The Wolverine and many more. The images feature the before shot and after, once visual effects replaced green and blue screen work and as much as I think visual effects are becoming a troubling crutch for today's filmmakers it doesn't change the wizardry that goes into making it all happen.

By Hasraf “HaZ” Dulull A few months ago I was VFX supervising on location for a rather large-scale commercial shot on the lovely Arri Alexa. Whenever I am doing on-set VFX supervising, one of the many things I do is take notes of the lens used, height of jib crane, F-stops, FOV etc. To do […]The post On-Set: VFX data gathering with Arri Alexa appeared first on postPerspective - Randi Altman's postPerspective.
