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

Daniel Mozbäuchel shares a little Xpresso Rig got Cinema 4D that mimics modo’s falloff modeling system. Most of the tools in modo can be affected by a falloff setting that will allow you to attenuate the tools influence on the object.

Watching someone create from start to finish has its benefits. You get to see not only the workflow that might be involved for a specific task or project, but also you get a chance to see how others approach tasks both familiar and non. Not to mention the helpful tips that can be picked up along the way.

Using the Random Effector in Cinema 4D is an easy way to include some random values into animation. You may notice however, that using some of the “random Types” will repeat at times, and not be all that random at all.
