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

Animation is MVP in 2016 Super Bowl Ads

February 9, 2016, 10:21 AM

As a diehard Broncos fan, I was glued to my TV for Super Bowl 50 Sunday evening for more than Beyoncé and the $5 million dollar Super Bowl ads. However, between watching Von Miller strip the ball from Cam Newton in the first quarter and watching Von Miller strip the ball from Cam Newton in the fourth quarter, I noticed that a significant portion of the outrageously expensive commercials showcased animated characters, from a walking pink-colored lower intestine to an unholy Franken-creature call...

One of the most iconic weapons in movie history is the lightsaber. We’ve all imagined having the real thing and a few of us have even been enshrined in a viral hit like the Star Wars Kid. But if you were to break down the lightsaber mechanically there isn’t much to it: a handle, an on/off switch, and then a brightly lit plasma blade that’s powered by a kyber crystal. While it can cut through virtually anything, what makes the weapon so undeniably mesmerizing are the sound effects behin...

Quick Chat: Ian Stynes on mixing two Sundance film

February 9, 2016, 06:34 AM

http://postperspective.com/ian-stynes-on-mixing-tw...

By Kristine Pregot It’s always nice working with someone you have collaborated with before. There is a comfort level and unspoken language that is hard to achieve any other way. A few years back, I had the pleasure of working with talented sound mixer Ian Stynes on a TV sketch comedy. This year we collaborated once again for the So Yong Kim film Lovesong (our main image), which made its premiere at this year’s Sundance and had its grade at Nice Shoes via colorist Sal Malfitano. Ian ha...
