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

For the past year, we have slowly been reporting on the murky details suggesting evidence of collusion within the animation industry. The reports on this case have been confusing, but essentially, Disney, Sony Pictures Imageworks, DreamWorks, Pixar, Lucasfilm Animation, ImageMovers Digital, and Blue Sky, were all accused of participating in a wage-theft conspiracy in order to increase profits while harming the careers of numerous animators.

Shares in the company are up more than 8% as markets open, kicking off the day trading at $24.30. That’s the highest level they have reached since last November.

Sony Animation Delays Their ‘Smurfs’ Reboot

March 26, 2015, 04:50 AM

http://www.rotoscopers.com/2015/03/25/sony-animati...

It’s no secret that Sony Pictures Animation’s two live-action/animation hybrid films based on The Smurfs weren’t very well received. The first film, however, was a box office smash. It was a leggy success in North America, but it did even better overseas, grossing a huge $563 million at the end of its run. The Smurfs 2 also made a profit back in the summer of 2013, but it opened rather poorly here (with an unimpressive $17 million, nearly half of what the first film opened with.) and in Ma...
