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

Once upon a time, Jeffrey Katzenberg added a new shade to the genre of animated films with a movie called Shrek. The “anti-Disney” film was borne out of Katzenberg being shoved out of Disney (where he spearheaded films like The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast as chairman), with an aim to poke fun at the cutesy nature of the Mouse House’s output.

BREAKING! DreamWorks just announced to it staff that it will shut down one of its main studios, PDI DreamWorks, in Redwood City, California. The closing of that studio will begin immediately. The beleaguered animation studio also announced that 500 jobs will be eliminated, far more than the previously expected number of layoffs. The studio is cutting back its slate to two DreamWorks-produced films per year: one original film and one sequel.

Being part of the showbiz cognoscenti, you no doubt already know that plucky group ADAPT – the Association of Digital Artists, Professionals and Technicians – has finally decided to give up its pluck, after all, and, citing a lack of money, has given up its attempts to get the U.S. Government to pursue trade actions against unfair production subsidies in other countries. Relying on the same American government that hands out subsidies to oil companies, corporations that export jobs abroa...
