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

Shane Reid edits commercials over at Whitehouse Post. You know like this one for Samsung, and that one for Subaru. Not to mention this one for Toyota. You may have seen this newly released epic ad for Duracell. Yup, he was behind that one. We got to know each other a few years back and I quickly discovered not only what a choice editor Shane is, but also how much he really loves every step of the process. It’s passion all the way through.

1,600 VFX shots. 13 individual studios. 3 separate continents. In the wake of Captain America’s global success, we spoke to Marvel Executive Vice President Victoria Alonso about what it means to weld so many facilities into an international fighting force – and just what makes a great Marvel movie.

Voting in the creative categories followed those of other recent awards, with Oscar-winner Inception also picking up the long-form VFX category, although Rango pipped Toy Story 3 as best anmimated film.

Chances are if you’re between the ages of 16 to 35, you’ve watched the FX animated hit, Archer. It’s one of those shows that appeals ever so perfectly to our inner man-child sensibilities. But I digress.

Remember the story a few weeks ago about how it would likely be impossible, or at least cost prohibitive, to build your own Mac Pro? Most of that is because it would likely cost more to buy each part and build on your own rig, than just buying the Cylinder itself. But factoring that out, could you build a Mac Pro that looks identical to the Apple’s new professional-grade rig? It’s already been done, and it looks darn close.

Anybody who tries to keep up with technology is familiar with this sad truth: Even the best computer will seem positively geriatric by its fifth birthday.
