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

Is is real, or is it After Effects?

That’s what I found myself wondering as I watched Supralude‘s That Night In Williamsburg. He won’t spill many beans, but what do you think? Were those lights added in post, and how can you tell one way or the other?

Trapcode Planet with After Effects

January 12, 2013, 11:29 AM

2012 saw effects plugin company Red Giant blur the line between advertisement and compelling short film with Plot Device and Time Warp. But as good as both those shorts were, if I’m honest, the demonstrations which really raise my excitement levels are those that are developed in bedrooms with a mighty staff of one.

After Effects Apprentice Free Video: Converting 3D

January 10, 2013, 09:52 PM

http://provideocoalition.com/cmg_keyframes/story/a...

One of the major additions to After Effects CS6 was the introduction of a new ray-traced 3D rendering engine. This allowed 3D text to have actual thickness (extrusions and beveling), and added transparency and reflectivity parameters to the Material Options list for all 3D layers with the ray-traced rendering engine is selected for a comp. However...

Mocha AE is a stand alone planar tracking and rotoscoping utility optimized for After Effects, Final Cut and Motion users. The advanced mask creation tools, simple user interface and copy/paste exchange with AE helps take the complications out of motion tracking and reduces keyframing headaches.

After Effects Camera Tracking – Moving Blood Hit

I have gotten quite a few questions about how I created the blood hit effect from my bullet hit tutorial where the camera pans across the screen as I am being hit.

After Effects 3D Integration VFX Tutorial

December 31, 2012, 10:58 AM

http://www.surfacedstudio.com/tutorials/after-effe...

3D integration VFX has long been an item on my tutorial plan, but it took a considerable amount of time to plan it out properly and finally get started. Since the topic of 3D integration is rather complex, I decided to break this tutorial up into a number of parts and today I will start by covering the theory of 3D integration.

Create and animate 3D cogs in AE - Pt1

December 17, 2012, 12:46 PM

http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/motiongraph...

Sometimes jobs turn out to be more complicated than you expect them to. Animating cogs and gears can be like that - it sounds like a nice idea, it's easy enough to arrange some stock photos of cogs together on a storyboard, but as soon as you try...
