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

The Building Blocks of an Animated Franchise

Is anybody surprised that The LEGO Movie opened huge? It is the perfect storm film for today’s Hollywood: a digitally animated movie based on a video game that’s based on a toy using iconic comic-book characters. If that didn’t already fill in every blank for a successful tentpole feature, Morgan Freeman is in it. Frankly, all that’s missing is that it’s not a sequel.

Sgt. Major: “At 14:46 Pacific Standard Time, 12 different locations around the world were breached, in what appears to be a coordinated attack by an unknown enemy. All breaches were along the coastline, in what is a campaign of rapid dominance. This is a textbook military invasion.”

20 Mind-Blowing 3D Cinema GIFS: No Glasses Require

The popularity of 3D film comes in waves. Every few years, someone decides to take up the mantle once more and subject audiences to silver screen dioramas. But there's always a draw back — blue and red glasses that make you look like a dork, or trying to wear glasses on top of glasses, or the percent of the population who just can't make their eyes see 3D because genetics.

With the release of FCP X 10.1 the Consolidate command became much more sophisticated and powerful. Since it is now a two-way street with variables, the key to this command is understanding External versus Managed media. Because depending on the goal, we can do External Consolidation and Managed Consolidation.
