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

The Movie Academy has whittled its shortlist for the Visual Effects category to 10. It appears to follow the general trend of rewarding summer blockbusters, with the likes of Marvel tentpoles Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians Of The Galaxy, Fox’s Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes and X-Men pic, Warner Bros’ The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies and Paramount’s Interstellar among those making the cut. The notable omissions might give a certain Higher Power some pause, thoug...

The Irish animation scene may not be as large as its neighbor Great Britain, but the work coming out of Ireland is increasingly receiving attention on the global stage. In this season’s Oscar contest, for example, there are promising Irish contenders in both the feature and short categories—Tomm Moore’s Song of the Sea and Alan Holly’s Coda, respectively.

Special Effects Makeup artist Rick Baker has won seven Oscars over the course of a career that’s spanned more than two decades. The quality of his work has ranged from the iconic (An American Werewolf in London) to groundbreaking (Men in Black) to ridiculously better than the film it’s in (Norbit). He is a master in his field, and unfortunately, his field is now being left behind due to advances in technology. While I don’t bemoan the digital effects that can create a film like Dawn of the...
