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

Subsequent to the release of Life after Pi, the documentary that chronicles the collapse of Rhythm & Hues and the visual effects industry, noted New York effects house Rhinoceros Visual Design and Effects LLC (aka Gravity NY) which will close its doors after filing chapter 11 bankruptcy. That makes 21 VFX houses that have closed their doors or sought bankruptcy protection since the crisis started.

One of the most powerful tools available in Adobe After Effects CS5 and above is the Rotobrush tool. The rotobrush tool is a painting tool that helps you to rotoscope elements and separate them from the footage. In the second part of VFX Vlog #5 I show you why the rotobrush was introduced and how you use it to create your visual effects.

Montreal-based VFX studio Rodeo FX created 60 visual effects shots for Denis Villeneuve’s highly-awaited film Enemy. For its second collaboration with the Canadian director, Rodeo FX was entrusted with the delicate task of bringing Villeneuve’s very personal vision to life. The goal, for this psychological thriller, was to achieve a documentary-style, seamless look to keep the focus on the intrigue using live and CG elements.

Last year many of you helped crowd fund a legal study done by a Washington DC-based law firm I met two years ago. The goal of the study was to suggest a path for the VFX industry to mitigate the effects of the subsidy race that was putting so many facilities out of business and causing so many jobs to be lost.
