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

This is Allan McKay. Welcome to Episode 101 with Ben Snow, a VFX Supervisor at ILM. We just did Episode 100 (www.allanmckay.com/100/) and that was epic. Thank you for all of your emails! I always read all the emails, but it takes me a while to respond.

Is it worth it working extreme hours all the time, day in day out? More importantly: Are you actually getting that much done during that time?

I’m really excited about this one. Patty is a really dear friend of mine. I’ve known her for 10 years, maybe longer. Patty is an amazing artist. I want to leave that as a bit of a surprise but I’ll give you a bit of a hint: Patty is one of the pioneers with holograms and is currently an Artist in Residence at the Arena Stage in Washington, DC. Her credentials are so amazing, every time you hear her name, there is a whole other level to her story. I feel privileged to do this Episode and to...
