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

While tracking down the artists responsible for the effects of The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, visual effects supervisor Louis Morin confided to me, ‘You’ve got the wrong man. The real magician here is Michel Gondry.’ Normally, the production’s visual effects supervisor is a good barometer for a film’s artistic and technical effects; but Louis was not being disingenuous.

Virtual and augmented reality are making quite a comeback. Indeed, VR made an impression in the 1990s, perhaps even in spite of its role in the creepy science-fiction/horror film Lawnmower Man. In the real world, however, VR applications were limited by the available computer power (or lack thereof) and became mainly the domain of those that could afford it: military, medical, automotive, and aerospace. Often the applications played out in CAVES, with users tethered to cumbersome devices.

Martin Brennand mocha Pro shows us how to track and modify 360 footage in Adobe After Effects using the mocha Pro 5 plug-in with Mettle Skybox Studio. He shows how to motion track and remove a moving 360 camera rig, which happens to be attached to a skateboarder’s helmet. Not exactly stable footage! He also shows how to motion track and place 2D footage onto the side of a building.

The time has come to release the cover of our upcoming June edition into the wild. It boasts an up close and personal shot of Shere Khan, the villainous tiger of Walt Disney Studios’ live-action adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, and if we say so ourselves, it looks rather stunning.

In this tutorial we’ll recreate this Scandinavian inspired design in Cinema 4D or Cinema 4D Lite! It’s a design made up of a piece of text with layers peeling away revealing transparency on the backside of peeled back portions. We’ll break down how you model all the pieces and set up your text so you can smoothly bend the geometry of your text spline or any other spline you’d like to use. Next, we’ll texture our object, creating the plastic, glass, and wood materials as well as light t...
