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

The Mill teamed up with The Monkeys and Goodoil Films for “Chimpfall,” the latest ad from Australian car-insurance provider Bingle. The spot features Joni, a blindfolded chimpanzee dropped from a plane. The catch is she has to fill out a car insurance quote before the parachute is released. It’s that easy.

A lone Roman Originals dress has threatened to ‘melt the Internet’ by sparking a ferocious debate about its color: Is it white and gold or blue and black? The world is divided into two camps with apparently equal backing.

It all started from 1987 when the developer Thomas Knoll created a very simple pixel imaging program called Display. It was displaying gray scale photos on a black and white monitor. His brother John Knoll was supervisor at ILM (Industrial Light and Magic). The other digital artists were impressed at the post production facility of George Lucas with Display and eventually it was used into James Cameron‘s The Abyss. Later on Knoll brothers renamed it to Photoshop.

Birdman, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's best picture Oscar winner, has been widely praised for looking as if the entire 119-minute movie was shot in one uninterrupted take — an inventive feat that earned it four Oscars, including best direction and cinematography for its director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki.
