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 Art of Stop Motion

I've always enjoyed stop motion, from my elementary school days watching "Gumbi" on the TV, to sitting in my darkened bedroom with an 8mm projector running a print of the 1925 silent Lost World (from Blackhawk Films!) over and over.

Animation Roundtable and Sequels are Killing the I

We have already had the writers, the studio executives, and the actresses Oscar roundtables from The Hollywood Reporter. Today, I bring you a discussion about films that have not gotten much of say in the previous ones: animated films. I thought this was a pretty down year for animated films. Even the very popular and well regarded ones like The Lego Movie did nothing for me. That does not mean the creators talking is not interesting, and this roundtable features directors and producers of some ...

Animators and Mirrors

Though the work that animators create is often exhilarating, the actual process of animating, which involves sitting at a desk for hours at a stretch, is not particularly interesting to the general public. In the past, when studio publicity departments were tasked with creating promotional stills of animators, they often posed animators making an expression in front of their mirror while drawing a character with a similar expression.

He's been nominated six times and has scored five movies released this year ("Monuments Men," "The Grand Budapest Hotel," "Godzilla," "The Imitation Game," and "Unbroken"). But the latter two could conceivably land him two noms given their best picture potential.

There's a sculptor called Ken Price, and he once said, "A craftsman knows what he's going to make and an artist doesn't know what he’s going to make, or what the finished product is going to look like."

Contender – Editor Sandra Adair, Boyhood

Collaborating for 22 and 18 films, editor Sandra Adair and director Richard Linklater have developed a communications shorthand when working together. Both have laid back personalities and are open to listening to one another. Adair confirmed, “Rich is very collaborative” and their process from one film to the next is very similar.
