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

Greyscalegorilla – I am pleased to see an old trick I came up with in Thinking Particles translated so perfectly into X-Particles. This technique is applicable to growing vines, pipes, wrapping objects, filling shapes, and drawing non-intersecting lines. I go through the process of creating the particle rig then exploring lots of ways to apply and modify it.

We already knew Pixar films have been talking to one another, so to speak, over the years. The animation studio has been hiding Easter eggs like the Luxo Ball, the Pizza Planet Truck and A113 (which is a nod to the animation classroom at CalArts where several Pixar filmmakers went) in one film after another, creating a Pixar Universe. Today, the studio revealed that particular character has been in every single Pixar film since 1995's Toy Story.
