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

Well, it’s already a possibility thanks to StyLit, a new development in non-photorealistic rendering by Czech Technical University, in partnership with Adobe. Cartoon Brew saw the tech at SIGGRAPH this year and immediately wondered whether it could also be translated to animation. So we talked to one of the lead researchers.

Lucid is capable of taking animation from a mesh within 3dsmax and passing it into the simulation. The mesh participates in simulation while retaining its animated deformation. Use this effect to simulate wiggly things like snakes and worms, creating their own locomotion. In this tutorial we go through the basics of this process and add a snake-like object to the scene with a few clicks.

It’s not as simple as just playing sad music over sad scenes. No, Pixar plays with our emotions through music, sending out contrasting messages through what we see and what we hear to tear at our feelings even more. Which means, mixing happy music over sad scenes is how Pixar really gets us.
