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

And the Oscar goes to…The gold trophies have been handed out, the red carpets rolled up, and yet another year at the Academy Awards has passed without a Best Title Design category.So why isn’t there an Oscar for Best Title Design? After all, there are Academy Awards for other artistic and technical endeavors related to film, like Best Sound Design, Best Costume Design, and Best Production Design, so why not recognize title design too? The Primetime Emmys honor television title sequences ...

Animation is a unique art form all its own that must draw upon a variety of strategies that are unemployed by live action films. Animated films use many different meticulous frame-by-frame methods to convey their images, and common techniques include those such as computer animation, stop-motion animation, clay animation, pixilation, and even drawing right on the frame itself...

If you watch a lot of (older) movies you’ll notice that studio logos are generally quite consistent. The spinning globe of Universal, the Paramount mountain, the Warner Bros. shield, they’re all refined over time, but the basic premise has remained the same for decades.
