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

If you've ever thought that a low-budget sci-fi thriller can't compete with the cream of Hollywood, think again. Last night's Academy Awards handed the Oscar for best visual effects to Alex Garland's brilliant Ex Machina. It's something of a shock, since the category had three heavy hitters in The Martian, Mad Max: Fury Road and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Matt Radford – A look at some of the FX work I did back on LOL 2 at Blur. This project was a weird one. It floated around the studio for a while as Riot was insanely picky on seemingly everything. Tons changed. You can see the explosion went in different directions. My personal choice was the fireball. Unfortunately Blur hadn’t really scheduled time to properly address all these notes with the other shows it had in house at the time.

As one might expect, the Best Achievement in Visual Effects category is dominated by films with sweeping visuals and grand-scale fight sequences, but then there’s the VFX team behind Alex Garland’s Ex Machina who put the focus on the minutiae, specifically the details necessary to seamlessly meld Alicia Vikander’s physical performance with her character’s robotic body parts. And, as you can probably deduce from the Academy Award nomination, VFX Supervisor Andrew Whitehurst and his team d...
