To The Aotg.com Community,

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

http://lesterbanks.com/2014/04/two-easy-tricks-imp...

Laurence Grayson shares a quick tip for pulling a great key from less than perfect footage in After Effects. We have all had problematic green screen footage at one point. Typically not shooting proper lighting will give rise to a dull green screen, uneven color, and lots of noise in the image to contend with.

Quick Tip: High Pass Sharpening in AE

In After Effects, I will show you how to use high pass sharpening just like in Photoshop. We will essentially be selective sharpening our footage without tracking a single mask. By finding the edges in our shot, we can use that as a matte to determine which sections should be sharpened.

Create Xpresso Nodes

April 2, 2014, 03:43 PM

http://lesterbanks.com/2014/04/create-xpresso-node...

The commander in Cinema 4D will allow you to create any type of object in C4d, simply by typing. This can be a huge workflow change, saving time in searching and clicking to create elements in your scene. The one issue with the Commander, is that it can’t create Xpresso nodes. If you are the nerdy type and like to use expressions in most everything you do, then the QCmds plugin is for you.

A couple of months ago we were introduced to MochaBlend, an effort from Good Spirit Graphics to provide an integration of Mocha tracking software in Blender. The goal of the MochaBlend project was to be able to use Mocha corner pin, shape and camera solve data right inside of blender.

Tuundra Reendeer Launches

Multi-Core rendering for After Effects. It is no secret that at it’s most basic level Ae is comically ineffective at multicore rendering individual frames. Thankfully 3rd party tools have popped to save the day, such as the BG Renderer Pro tool from aescripts. Not to mention the many, many tutorials on network rendering Ae files, and offloading After Effects renders to the superiorly threaded Adobe Media Encoder.
