To The Aotg.com Community,

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

6 Tips from Stan Winston

June 10, 2015, 11:02 AM

http://filmschoolrejects.com/features/6-filmmaking...

During the 1980s and 1990s, the leftovers of special effects production created a cottage industry in of themselves. Theme park events, studio tours, and behind-the-scenes TV programs regularly shuffled out the puppets, animatronics, costumes, and make-up extensions that altogether created cinematic illusions, producing for pop culture consumers a sort-of second spectacle in which one could encounter the raw material that created convincing cinematic illusions.

The Foundry on high-end post applications for iOS

Don't believe Final Cut Pro X or Adobe Premiere will run on iOS one day? Apple’s Metal for iOS might be the key. Jack Greasely, Head Of New Technology at The Foundry (makers of feature film post tools such as NUKE and MODO) talking to RGB HQ: As Metal originated in iOS does this mean that there is the potential to run 'serious' applications, such as MODO, NUKE or even MARI on an iPad one day? Anything is possible. Having a common graphics API between the two is certainly a start. ...

WHERE TO GO JURASSIC WORLD

This question Where To Go Jurassic World, may at first seem strange, but it makes sense in many ways. Steven Spielberg has done a series of very famous movies about extinct animals, and viewers could learn a lot about the types of animals that once lived on earth. The last movie that works brings new exciting adventures but also animals that we've seen on the big screen. Looking at all these creatures, many of us to wonder whether they looked just the way they are displayed, and in the extreme t

The Misunderstanding of 3-D

June 5, 2015, 05:09 AM

http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/...

For the second time in as many years, an auteur’s descent into 3-D livened up the Cannes Film Festival. In 2014, the provocation came from Jean-Luc Godard, whose aggressive 3-D experiment, “Goodbye to Language,” brought cries of “Godard forever!” amid spontaneous applause. There was more excitement late last month, when brawls reportedly broke out in a rush for seats at Gaspar Noé’s “Love,” an art-house porno flick in three dimensions. Critics called the film a bore (and some wa...
