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

Marvel Studios' cinematic thrill ride continues with its latest action-packed offering, Avengers: Age of Ultron. The action is simply enormous, with each scene delivering new visual treats; building on the visual effects of the 2012 blockbuster.

American Horror Story is a major hit for FX. The most recent season of the anthology series, Freak Show, became the most-watched show in the network’s history. The show has won the loyalty of fans and kudos from critics for its smart, imaginative storytelling and superb performances from its stellar ensemble cast.

When Jurassic World stomped into multiplexes earlier this summer, its visual effects were inevitably compared to its predecessor - 1993’s Jurassic Park. At a time when CGI was in its relative infancy, Steven Spielberg’s movie set a new standard in visual effects. For those two-or-so hours, an entire generation believed that dinosaurs were once again walking the earth.

Things have been heating up since my last blog post. The exhibition doors have been thrown wide open and hungry students are claiming free Pixar teapots, cloth bags, miniature Snickers bars and tissues from the booths. There is definitely a bigger buzz today. My intention was to go to the VR Village talk but it was jammed packed and I couldn’t get in. Nevertheless I had a fantastic day with some very interesting moments.

After a fantastic Siggraph 2014 in Vancouver, I was looking forward to seeing what Los Angeles could deliver. The last time I was here for Siggraph was in 2008 and I remember it well because Softimage held a legendary party involving Vanilla Ice and Ron Jeremy.

Given its home on The CW, who expected The Flash to become the most satisfying, and in some ways the weirdest superhero show on television? And yet here we are, one season into the show with fans eagerly awaiting the second. (The Flash season 2 debuts on October 6.)
