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

I recently found some nice actions tucked away under the actions menu, so wanted to share with you, just in case you haven’t found them. To access the actions panel (if it is not shown) in your current Photoshop workspace, select from the menu bar Window / Actions. Once the actions panel is open, click the panel fly out menu (marked in red), you will find the textures and other effects located there. For the examples in this post Textures and Text Effects will be used. To select each o...

The creative process is exactly that: a process: You try things out, change your mind, make mistakes, and shift your goals.

HitFilm 2 is a tool for indie film makers that combiles video editing and visual effects compositing features in a single software package. I used it in my tutorial on how to create machine gun fire and aside from a few issues with performance, I actually enjoyed using it. But the most fun part of using HitFilm 2 for me was using the large number of inbuilt plugins and presets.

Making of Transformers GS5 commercial for GAC China, featuring their latest car, the GS5. Promoting their latest car, the GS5. The GS5 was featured in the latest Transformers feature film (Age of extinction). This is the VFX Edit of the commercial. Many of the shots and assets in this edit were removed and unused in the client’s version. This making of is mainly focused on the full CG shots, which accounted for more that half of the shots The Post Bangkok created.
