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

David Fincher is back with another dark tale of modern life, Gone Girl – the film adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s 2012 novel.

Toy Story 4 is coming

Few film series progressed as wonderfully as the Toy Story movies. What began as a whimsical film about sentient toys and their roles in children’s lives—and, of course, as a showcase for the then-new form of computer animation—deepened with each entry.

Does that Preferred Video Editing Software survey

I let myself get sucked into a click-bait blog article the other day and it got me thinking about what I had done. It was click bait for a number of reasons but the actual content of the majority of the article was a decent summary of the non-linear editing tools we have available. With a title like What’s the Best NLE Software for Professional Movie Editing? you know it might likely do downhill from the first click. The article came from a learning resource called Lights Online Film S...

Saro Sahihi over at SoundBits launched three new impact sound libraries yesterday. Just Impacts – Simple, Processed and Designed. He’s also done a behind the scenes video, showing some of the smashing fun he and his teammates had creating the sounds for the library, and I decided to ask him a few follow-up questions too. But first, the video:

It’s no secret that folks are…well, a little miffed these days when it comes to animation and its recent drought of diversity in terms of lead characters. Just do a quick search on Tumblr of your recent favorite animated flick and sure enough, you will find folks complaining about the smaller presence of people of color in animated films.
