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

Daniel Brodesky posts a look at creating images in After Effects that have a 3D curve to them. Although you can do this all without any help from scripts, Daniel uses a few to assist in creating the curved forms in After Effects.

The Sapling generator Addon creates trees for blender based on the method that was developed by Jason Weber and Joseph Penn in their paper ”Creation and Rendering of Realistic Trees”. You can easily create a wide variety of tree models using a curve as the base element of construction. This also allows for dynamic geometry which can be used to change the level of detail for the tree models that are created.

Daniel Cahill provides a tutorial for using the new GMH2 Polygon to Maya Hair tool from Thunder Cloud Studio. As Daniel mentions, the GMH2 site has some great and in-depth tutorials on using the GMH2 plugin for Maya, so this tutorial is more about getting the kind of geometry you need for the GMH2 tools, and getting them ready to work with in Maya.

You can now automatically generate a SpriteSheet in After Effects thanks to Sheetah. This new SpriteSheet tool can turn any After Effects composition into a SpriteSheet file, really quickly.

A dynamic cube will be created in Cinema 4D and a 2d texture will be applied in After Effects. If you have never integrated the two programs before, this is your chance to see how to transfer position data, rotation data, and utilize buffer objects. Once your project is set up, you can easily change the look of your animation in After Effects.

In this tutorial, we're going to be looking at the title animation style from the movie "The Colony". We will make this unusual title style using only After Effects. First, we will look at a classic technique to obtain a smoke animation using Fractal Noise.

In the last part of my After Effects building destruction tutorial I showed you how to track your footage, create a fake building and add some explosions into your scene to blow it up. In the second part I will show you how to add more destruction effects like debris, smoke and lighting to finish off this cool visual effect!
