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

VFX Podcast - Thierry Lafontaine - Master Artist

This Episode is going to be a lot of fun. Thierry goes over other ideas and practices. He is a really insightful guest, just like Bobby. What I love the most about Thierry is that he came from being a wine expert. He talks about wine being an art form and how he was able to transfer all of that knowledge into his current art.

Eps. 126 - Self Investment

February 6, 2018, 06:15 AM

http://www.allanmckay.com/126/

This is Allan McKay. Welcome to Episode 126! I thought I would make this a little bit of a rant. This is a chance to do a solo Episode, instead of an interviews. I really love the idea of doing Bootcamps. The amount of work that goes into a Bootcamp doesn’t make it sustainable, however; but the amount of feedback I get — makes it worth it. So I’m excited about the next one!

Interview Tomasz Wyszolmirski - Dabarti Studio Dir

January 16, 2018, 05:35 AM

http://www.allanmckay.com/123a/

Tomasz came from Evermotion. Dabarti does a similar thing but more on a micro level and custom animation. It was really cool to talk to Tomasz about his background and about building his business. When you speak to owners of studios, it’s interesting to hear about the evolution of recognizing business needs.
