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

In theaters for nearly two months, Wes Anderson‘s The Grand Budapest Hotel is his most successful feature to date, recently crossing the $100 million worldwide mark. Considering most of our readers have gotten a chance to see it we imagine, today brings a great post-viewing treat, as LOOK Effects have dropped their visual effects breakdown for the film.

One of the students, the best in class, still hesitated and was not sure what he wants to say. The storyline did not exist but what he did have was a collection of interesting quotes from Sherry Turkle talk at TED, and a number of important anecdotes from a book by Dr. Yair Amichai-Hamburger. But nothing was yet clear or coherent. I’m known for not giving permission to proceed, for those who are not able to presents a clear script (backed with a detailed storyboard).

As superheroes go, Tony Stark aka Iron Man, is refreshingly human. Underneath that suit of high-tech armour, he's arrogant, tortured and has a dodgy ticker to boot. The occasional army of alien interlopers aside (Avengers Assemble) his enemies tend to be equally relatable, if never exactly run of the mill.
