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

Create Your Own LUTs in Just a Few Clicks with fyl

Filming in a flat picture profile can be a blessing as it opens up endless possibilities for creative grading yet at the same time can look really bad if done wrong. Each and every one of us has our own way of grading. Some will rely on free or paid downloaded LUTs, others will use third-party plug-ins to their NLE or grade from within their editing platform. All ways are legit, but I wanted to share with you what I’m currently using to successfully create my own LUTs in just a few clicks with...

DNEG Causes Considerable VFX Carnage

If there were any doubts a villain associated with Spider-Man could survive in cinemas on their own without him, Venom’s box office success proved otherwise. Building on that success, Tom Hardy partnered with filmmaker Andy Serkis to produce a symbiont-slugfest sequel Venom: Let There be Carnage. In the Columbia Pictures production, Hardy’s Eddie Brock has an unexpected encounter with serial killer turned symbiote host Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson). Dare we say, carnage ensues!
