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

The QuickVFX channel has a look at creating a quick Aurora Effect With Trapcode Particular within After Effects, using a simple wiggle and the secondary Aux System to get a sheet of animated glowing color. Simple stuff, but a really nice effect.

If you have Trapcode From, Trapcode MIR and an extra 5 minutes, you should check out Peder Norrbys Nebula Construction Kit.

Felt Tips has a quick look at getting more familiar with the After Effects Matte Choker, and covers what the options for the effect are. There is also a quick behind the scenes type of look at what the Matte Choker is actually doing in After Effects to create its effect.

Recently Otoy has announced the GPU accelerated Octane render’s availability for Blender, rounding out the product’s host applications. Otoy has also made available the demo version for Octane render in Blender, so you can now kick the tires and take it out for a spin.

Trapcode MIR user BaKaAfter posts a quick settings run-though for creating Anime style animated lighting. Trapcode MIR is one of those “specialty” type of products where it can be easy to fall into the experimentation phase and never really get out of it, into creating deliberate and useful content.

If you have used Video Copilot’s Flight Kit or JetStrike you might be familiar with the Heat Distortion tool. Now you can purchase it on its own… ya know, if you have a fear of heights or flying and are trying to stay away from the planes.

The C4DZone have posted an update to Matteo Porchedda’s Spline Wrapper plugin for Cinema 4D. With Spline Wrapper, you can basically take any spline in C4D and wrap it around an existing object. Working in realtime, you can experiment and create some interesting effects easily. It is probably something that you will not use very often, but it is pretty cool when you need it.
