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

Before I give this update in our Best Animated Feature series, I must admit that I feel foolish for having ignored the Golden Globes most of the time. Fortunately, I have caught myself on this, and I do plan to make further updates about it and mention it more often as the series comes to its conclusion. With that out of the way, on to our update…

SONGS IN MOVIES Songs have been a big part of the movie-making process ever since the beginning of “talkies,” with Al Jolson singing “My Mammy” in The Jazz Singer (1927)—a prime example of an on-camera featured song in a movie. Songs have always been an important part of entertainment, and their attraction, interest, and “pull”...

Best Of 2014: The 15 Best Movie Soundtracks Of 201

December 10, 2014, 01:52 PM

http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/best-of-201...

Last week we kicked off our end-of-year coverage (all of which to date you can find here) in fine style by celebrating our 15 favorite scores of the year, but that’s only half the story in regards film music. Just as integral to our enjoyment, and often even more so to a film’s profile (as an ancillary, well-curated selection of earwormy tracks can be a highly marketable extra), is the soundtrack.

Los Angeles is a ghost town. The film industry – in particular the specialist field of visual effects – has abandoned its birthplace in favour of pastures new … not to mention controversial economic incentives.
