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

A new trend?

Animal Logic just announced a partnership with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) to start the UTS Animal Logic Academy. Personally I think it’s a great idea, but also part of a wider trend for VFX studios to help training institutions tailor their curriculum to what is required for a production environment.

Hello! This video is more tribute than tutorial. You can't find out much about this obsolete process on the net, so I wanted to add to the information available through my own hands on experience. Though there were other techniques in use at the time, this was the one we used and I learned at ILM. I think you'll enjoy this one.
