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

For 19 years I worked at Rhythm and Hues Studios. It was an absolutely amazing time and I will always have fond memories of this unique company. We achieved a lot with comparatively limited resources and looking back I am in awe of what we as a company were able to do. This is true for both the quantity and quality of the produced imagery and for the software tools that were used to create them.

Issue 142 of the premier magazine for visual effects professionals and enthusiasts goes deep on the VFX of four of this years biggest movies. First up is Jurassic World, which brings together a team including ILM, Phil Tippett and key Stan Winston Studio crewmembers who were there for the first Jurassic go-round. The reunion promises thrills that could only have been dreamed of for the original, made when computer animation and other relevant technologies were in their infancy.

That Studio has been producing high quality effects and post tools for the industry for some time now. However they’ve recently created a cornucopia of new content, from visual effects, music, sound effects and even their new That Studio Panel, allowing all their content to be previewed for free. We spoke with Laura Leigh, That Producer at That Studio, at NAB for more on the many creations That Studio produces.

I don’t know how we could make the modern superhero movie without advanced CGI effects. There’s no way Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man could have been even moderately believable without CG, and superhero movies have been topping it ever since.
