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

Special effects makeup artists have historically been the driving force behind what makes a movie "magical." But, since the dawn of the digital age, makeup artists have had to adapt their style and technique to rediscover where they fit in the movie-making business.

Weta Digital is observing its 20th anniversary this year, but the celebration is low-key, because the team is too busy to rest on its laurels.

Recently John Textor sat down with writers from the TCPalm in Port St. Lucie to discuss his latest projects and to reflect on the anniversary of the closing of Digital Domain. Textor resigned in protest from his role of CEO believing that the doors to the studio did not need to be shuttered and that the jobs need not be lost. Ultimately, John lost that battle and the studio did in fact close.
