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

Took a turn through Nickelodeon Animation Studios this morning, where they have a guard (a very nice guy) following me around because management is afraid (I guess) that I'll walk off with one of the big statues out on the corporate lawn ... or some of the wall decorations.

Adobe pre-announced many of the new features for the next version of After Effects CC 2014 at the just-passed IBC show.

This Has Been an Amazing Year for Animated Films

Feburary's The Lego Movie aside, you'd be forgiven for thinking it has been a weak year for great animated films. Look closer, however, and you’ll see something else: While wide releases (How to Train Your Dragon 2, perhaps, or Mr. Peabody and Sherman) have been a mixed bag, indie screens have seen a steady stream of excellent and diverse animated films. In fact, this year has been an incredible one for animated films, one of the best in my lifetime. It's just that many of these excellent movi...
