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

There are quite a few useful and almost essential plugins developed by Chris Montesano, one of the more interesting ones is the cmNodes, which brings node based shader and material editing in Cinema 4D.

In this tutorial, we’re going to be looking at the animation style of the movie “Need for Speed”. We will make this engaging title style using only After Effects. I will show you an interesting light system technique for the creation of this fascinating ambient scene, together with the fire dust particles, and lens flare. So let’s jump in!

There is a new monkey in town, and this one does layers. If you recall how TypeMonkey took the pain out of creating kinetic type animations in After Effects, Ebberts and Zucker’s new LayerMonkey for After Effects is set to do the same for animating compositional layers.

I am pretty sure I would be lost and broke without AEscripts. To prove that point, AEScripts founder Lloyd Alvarez posts a new script for After Effects that will allow you to set a duration for your composition in the render queue by cleverly using the work area.

Demonstrating a much streamlined workflow for dealing with multiple roto-shapes in Nuke, createfxUK shows how to take various rotoshapes, and essentially store them, using the shuffle node, in a different color channels that can eventually be rendered out as a single file. This prevents having to render a separate matte for each roto shape and offers a much cleaner workflow.
