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

A brutal ballet of limbs and blood, a violent, last ditch effort from Leif Erikson and his band of vikings to appease the wind god, opens Starz's new fantasy series, American Gods. And what an opening it is, with slow-motion scenes of entrail-littered sacrifice, hinting at the savage nature of an incoming war waging between Old Gods and New Gods in Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller's adaption of the wildly popular Neil Gaiman novel.

As a visual effects supervisor who works on a variety of film and TV projects (Some recent ones include Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street and Woody Allen’s Cafe Society), I am constantly aware of the dilemmas that filmmakers face when working with visual effects.

Special effects supervisor Neil Corbould says that he has “a big smile on my face” every day when he goes to work creating special effects for Clash of the Titans and Zero Dark Thirty. Corbould had a smile and then some when he described the new effects he created for the Star Wars prequel Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. We spoke with the SFX maestro about his work on Gareth Edwards thrilling addition to the Star Wars canon.

It’s hard to write a post that will do the programme for FMX 2017 justice. There are just so many great speakers and sessions planned. If you’re able to head to Stuttgart on May 2-5, I’d say, do not hesitate.
