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

Having been a major focus at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2011 and 2012, 3D TV receded in focus in 2013, and all but disappeared at the 2014 show where it was largely supplanted by 4K technology. While some signs point to the technology being dead in the water — and it’s certainly no longer the belle of the ball — it just might have a future yet.

Hydra Design Labs has created a super useful plugin for Photoshop if you ever have the task of creating HDRI’s for use in a 3D application. With Hydra HDRI Pro, you can take an 8-bit panorama into Photoshop and create a spherical HDRI from them that you can use in your rendering programs.

Last year came and went without as much as a mention from Apple about the fate of its Mac mini line of desktop computers. The Mac mini lineup currently on sale (and in plentiful stock) through Apple, Amazon, and other retailers last saw its hardware updated in late 2012 at the original iPad mini event.

Über Delay Effector is brought to you by Eyedesyn’s multi-Emmy winning freelance 3D/motion graphic artist EJ Hassenfratz and collaborator Charles Rowland (@ragingclaw) and Donovan Keith (@dskeith). With the new (and free) plugin for Cinema 4D, you are able to go beyond the limits of choosing a single delay mode for the Delay Effector, the Über Delay will let you apply all three delay modes at once.

I just returned from my trips to NY and SF. I’ll have a post up about the meetings but first I wanted to give a few thoughts of some recent trouble brewing in the VFX industry.

Continuing what’s become something of a yearly tradition, films of considerable length have colonized American movie screens this Oscar season, from Hollywood releases like “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” (2 hours 41 minutes) and “The Wolf of Wall Street” to art house fare like “Blue Is the Warmest Color” (both 2 hours 59 minutes long).
