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

I pay a short visit to Basel Switzerland to see the Digital Technology group at Herzog and De Meuron, a very famous contemporary Architecture firm. We learn a great deal about how technology, programming, scripting, rapid prototyping, and of course, virtual reality has enabled a new work flow for their designers, opening up the door to new ideas, and more efficient design.

The feature, which represents Moon and Source Code director Duncan Jones’ leap into major studio fare, is based on Blizzard Entertainment’s franchise of Warcraft video games.

Orc actors like Toby Kebbell (who plays leader Durotan) and Anna Galvin (his partner, Draka) conduct themselves entirely via performance capture throughout the film, which was shot in early 2014 and report...

With green screen, CG visual effects (and wire removal), shooting eighty horsemen and digitally replicating them into thousands. And then there was the big cavalry charge picture from eighty years ago, when there were some matte paintings, but the rest was shot with real horses, people and stuntmen.
