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

Recently I created episode 1 of the VFX Breakdown - which was about Sony's new movie VENOM. This was a lot of fun and got a lot of great reception, both from industry VFX Supervisors, as well as fans of the film.

This is Allan McKay. Welcome to Episode 178! I’m answering the big question: Is there money in art? This Episode is one I had filmed for my YouTube channel but I’ve also wanted to post it here. There will be some crossing of the material between my platforms. As ambitious as that sounds, I want to put out 60+ pieces of content per month. I’m putting a lot of effort into serving you better going forward. Part of it is: If you’re part of my VIP Insiders List...

Tracking Callouts is a set of callout title plugins for FCPX that feature built in object tracking. Just select an area and then let the plugin analyze movement of the object to build a precise tracking match for the title. The plugins are fast to track & render, even with 4K media.

Seven of the top ten films at the U.S. box office last year were vfx-driven films, and those numbers are unlikely to decrease in 2019. Legions of visual effects artists are working away right now on some of the most anticipated film releases of 2019.
