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

Gravity breaks filmmaking ground

If you’ve seen Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity, you probably kept asking yourself, as I did, “Man, how the hell did they do that?!” That’s because the various rigs that filmmakers used to simulate the floating environment of deep space had never been done before…

AE: Experimentation Assignment 12

http://motionworks.net/after-effects-experiment-as...

For this last experiment for 2013, I used the Circle effect and CC Griddler with Curves for contrast and CC Composite, Levels and Gradient Ramp for colour. CC Griddler is great for creating all kinds backgrounds, especially when duplicated. In this example I used three copies for an increasingly smaller, dot-like appearance.

New Mac Pro makes the iMac the power user's deskto

As the lucky guy who got to review the 2013 Mac Pro, I’ve spent quite a bit of time with it over the past week. You can read that review for my formal evaluation of Apple’s new flagship workstation, but one thing that struck me while testing the Mac Pro is that in addition to radically changing Apple’s professional desktop line, it also illustrates the changing face of “power-user” computing for Mac users.
