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

Q&A – The Genius of Ub Iwerks

Don Iwerks’ book, Walt Disney’s Ultimate Inventor: The Genius of Ub Iwerks, is a fascinating account of the decades-long collaboration between his father and Walt Disney, and the many technical and artistic innovations that arose from that partnership. It is a must-read for anyone with an interest in the ‘good old days’ of filmmaking and effects, when ingenuity, hands and gears, rather than strokes on a keyboard, put spectacular images on the big screen.

At the heart of every modern computer is the CPU – the central processing unit. For several decades the CPU has been the main focus of the computer, with the name of the CPU sometimes used as the name for the computer itself. In the 1990s Windows users were introduced to the “Pentium”, and Apple would go on to release a range of G3, G4 and G5 computers. The CPU has become synonymous with the actual computer, the definitive part of the machine.
