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

Adobe buys Aviary to boost Creative Cloud apps

If you've heard of Aviary, it's probably as the maker of a free editing photo platform that's not even on the horizon of most professional designers. Not something you'd think would be of any particular interest to the makers of a high-end tool like Photoshop CC 2014.

Adobe buys Aviary

The world of image editing has changed a lot in the past few years -- you're now about as likely to tweak a photo on your phone or tablet as you are on your PC. Adobe is clearly aware of this shift, as it just bought Aviary and its cloud-savvy image editing platform for an unspecified amount.

Creating award-winning spots for Fox Sports

September 18, 2014, 12:32 PM

http://www.3dtotal.com/index_interviews_detailed.p...

It is said that when it comes to getting work, it's not what you know but who you know that counts. But in the case of Monkeyhead's two recent spots for Fox Sports 1, a little bit of both came in handy. Not only had Monkeyhead worked on numerous successful projects with Fox Sports in the past, but founder/creative director Josh Sahley's first job, years ago, was with Fox Sports. So when Fox Sports 1, the spinoff network owned by the TV giant, needed a couple of eye-catching broadcast stingers (n...
