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

Steven Woloshen, the acclaimed animator, writer, and teacher, and I were sitting and talking in the cafeteria at the National Film Board of Canada. He was surrounded by his colleagues, but I was surrounded by luminaries of animation. My attention drifted from talking to him as a person, to talking to him as an award-winning animator.

Here is something that might surprise you: Walt Disney, that icon of American ingenuity, was in financial straits through most of his career. You probably thought he would have been a business genius — a model for others to study. But Disney was an atrocious businessman, constantly running his company into the ground. At the same time, though, he was a corporate visionary whose aversion to typical business practices led to the colossus that the Walt Disney Company became.

Pixar in a Box opens up the Pixar studios to everyone and anyone who wants to learn from their scientists, animators, coders, sculptors, and other creative professionals, thanks to a collaboration with Khan Academy. Pixar in a Box is aimed at school children, but there are plenty of interesting things to learn, especially if your grasp of math and science could use a little brushing up.

The success of Chinese VFX driven live-action family film Monster Hunt has been nothing short of remarkable.

It was the fastest local film to surpass the 1 billion RMB marker, and topped international box offices for two consecutive weeks, a rare ...

When it was released in 1993, Steven Spielberg’s adventure film Jurassic Park swiftly became a monster hit, big enough to give rise to all manner of spinoffs, including three sequels, a series of video games, and a sea of tie-in merchandise. However, one idea that never came to fruition was that of a Jurassic Park animated series, which failed to get beyond development stage.
