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

Editor Peter Beaudreau first met director Cary Joji Fukunaga at the Sundance director’s lab when they were participants as editor and director respectively. Unfortunately, when Beasts of No Nation went into production, Beaudreau was on a different film, so editor Mikkel E.G. Nielsen worked on the film until January 2015. In December 2014, Beaudreau came on as an extra set of hands for what he thought would be a couple of weeks, but which ended up being five months ¬ through the sound mix ...

VFX Podcast - Programming for Creatives

December 8, 2015, 05:58 AM

http://www.allanmckay.com/51/

This episode is about how learning a little code, can go a long way for artists and creatives. Most of us are intimidated by programming and think it’s only for math guys and people wired a certain way, where it’s really about learning just how to approach it a different way – you don’t need to know math to code, you don’t need to be ‘super smart’ to code. You just need to know how to apply it to what you’re doing and approach it a little differently to the norm.
