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 the age of 4K and beyond, it’s very hard to convincingly make an actor look old using practical prosthetics and make-up. When practical effects are used, they’re often erased and replaced in post because the defects show up on the 4K screen. The solution has been to turn to VFX wizardry made popular by [...]Read More...

I recently had the chance to ask Territory Studio about their visual effects work for Mank, which involved the re-creation of Wilshire Blvd from the 1930s. Like those shots, so much of Mank’s VFX work was invisible, involving subtle augmentations to tell the period story.

By Karen Moltenbrey For studios delivering visual effects, storage is an important and necessary step in the overall process. Artists need unfettered access to files, and any kink in the chain can lead to unnecessary headaches in terms of delays, or worse. Now, remote workflow due to COVID-19 restrictions has added yet one more concern for those maintaining their studio’s storage systems as they ensure problem-free access to files.
