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

We ask one of the hardest questions to ever be asked on the website: was Pixar responsible for the death of 2D Animation in the US?

This Maya tutorial covers the head and face modeling process from start to finish. I show the process I use to model the head and face, first focusing on creating good topology and edge flow, and then how to make the likeness match.

An artist, a craftsman, a pioneer of stop motion animation. Represented throughout the world by some of children’s televisions most beloved characters, he is the man behind such memorable shows as The Magic Roundabout, The Herbs, The Wombles, Paddington Bear, Postman Pat and Charlie Chalk…yet who is this illusive animator, director, producer?

After rigging, the first task that is needed for most character work is a walk cycle, which is the (reasonably) simple task of setting up a basic looping animation of your figure walking, usually on the spot (the global positioning is done later).
