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

Dneg – Ahead of the #Oscars here’s a VFX breakdown of our work on #ExMachina, which brought us our third Oscar for Best VFX! The latest breakdown video in our #20YearsOfDNEG series shows how the team enhanced Alicia Vikander’s incredible performance to create Ava – a main character who needed to be both obviously synthetic and yet at the same time strikingly human.

The Thing is much beloved movie, and not least because of it’s practical effects by SFX whizzkid, Rob Bottin. At only 23 years old, Bottin created what are perhaps some of the most memorable practical effects of all time. John Carpenter’s film, The Thing is a tense whodunit, or rather who is it, as the occupants of a research station in Antarctica or invaded by a hostile shape-shifting alien thing that, body-snatchers style, replicates its victims and infiltrates the yet to be assimilated.

This is Allan McKay. Welcome to Episode 127! I’m speaking with Kat Evans about Women in the Industry. I think this one will be really cool and has been requested in the past. Oddly enough, for 2 or 3 years, I’ve wanted to talk to Kat on the Podcast. She has worked in the industry for over a decade, for several studios and shops like ILM, Giant Killer Robots and others. She is married to Neil Blevins who is also in the industry which I thought would be interesting to talk about as well.

The sequel to the 1995 family classic takes the story of a board game that’s come to life and brings it to the digital age by transforming a group of teens into avatars and trapping them inside a video game jungle, where the only way out is to beat the game. To help create an alternate game world, Rodeo FX’s creature expertise was brought in.
