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

When first starting out with LUTs, you may think they are a “band-aid” solution for your color grading woes. Applying one might either make your footage great or turn it into a saturated mess — so you end up going through your entire catalog of LUTs just trying to see what works.

Puppet pin trick in After Effects

Puppet pins are cool, new advanced puppet pins are cooler and you can do some non-typical stuff with them that can save you some time. This tutorial will show you a quick way to move parts of a single layer around as though they were separate layers. Pretty neat!!! Also, you MUST check out the Keyframes Conference. I'll be doing some training there and I'm super excited. https://www.keyframesconference.com If you need CC, Get Adobe Creative Cloud: http://cinemaspice.net/adobe-...

How to Get Started Creating Stop-Motion Videos

September 27, 2018, 06:26 AM

The paper crumple is perfect for your first stop-motion project — we all have access to paper, and we can all crumple it up. A quick disclaimer: while I’ll be using some semi-expensive gear for this project, you can actually create stop-motion videos with nothing more than a phone and a free app. The point is to focus on the methods, not the gear.
