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

First off, this is a story about interconnectedness. Just because this story is about the UK market doesn’t mean that its underlying message doesn’t apply to other countries involved heavily in the production sector around the world. And that message is simple: tax breaks work.

Buoyed by a string of high-profile film and television projects, PowerHouse VFX has quickly solidified its place as an industry leader on New York’s VFX scene. Founded last year by Emmy Award-winning visual effects supervisor Ed Mendez, executive producer Bob Lowery and chief engineer Eric Zeller, the studio is adding significant talent in all departments as it gears up for current and future assignments, notably the M. Night Shyamalan film Glass, where it’s serving as sole visual effects pr...

A new VFX reel reveals the way in which human performance and technology intersect in Black Panther. Isn’t that really what Wakanda is all about? Shuri (Letitia Wright) designed the amazing vibranium powered suits to be responsive to the wearer’s every need. Turns out that’s what the VFX artists are doing in real life. DNEG peels back the digital curtain on the incredible work they did in that climactic fight scene between T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) and Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan). I...

The Meg was one of this summer’s more joyous films, giving us Jason Statham, a massive shark, and breakout star Kelly the dog (an actual dog). The movie was fun, silly, and again, had a 75-foot long prehistoric shark (the Megalodon, hence the film’s title) going tooth-to-toe with Statham’s deep-sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor. Now, we’ve got a look at how effects shop Scanline VFX helped create some of The Meg‘s wildest visuals, including the titular beast itself. While there are a ton o...

There were a lot of bleak moments in Avengers: Infinity War. There was that ending, of course, but that goes without saying. There were a lot of brutal moments leading up to the infamous Thanos snap. One moment, in particular, was watching Ebony Maw torture Doctor Strange.
