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

HONOLULU—Getting ahead of the technology curve is tough enough under the best of circumstances, let alone 37,000 feet under the sea, in a submersible only 43-inches in diameter. That was the challenge faced by reknowned explorer/producer James Cameron and his Business Partner/Technical Director Vince Pace, and by Director John Bruno and DP Jules O’Loughlin in producing “Deep Sea Challenge 3D,” a feature documentary about Cameron’s historic dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in th...

Visual effects supervisor Paul Franklin assumed he was setting out to make a science fiction film with his long-time collaborator, director Christopher Nolan. As it turns out, they made a science film, too in Interstellar, the holiday season blockbuster that follows Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway in their don’t-call-it-time-travel journey from a dying Earth to the other side of a black hole, where habitable worlds may await.
