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

But really getting the most […]

VFX Artists confirms Edited buttholes for Cats

https://92moose.fm/cats-butthole-cut-effects/

In the dumpster fire that is Tom Hooper’s adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s hit Broadway musical Cats, no news is too shocking. From its very first trailer, the Universal-produced movie became the butt of every joke. The horrific animation alone was enough to spawn its own category of memes. But even months (and six Razzie Awards) later, Cats is still managing to ruffle the fur of those who worked on the project. In a new interview with The Daily Beast, an anonymous source gave the scoop on...

By Mike McCarthy Each year, Nvidia hosts a series of conferences that focus on new developments in GPU-based computing. Originally, these were about graphics and visualization, which were the most advanced things being done with GPUs. Now they focus on everything from supercomputing and AI to self-driving cars and VR.

I started seeing, too, a bunch of fun Zoom captures or other ‘home set-up’ images from the studios, so I’d thought I’d embed some here. Note, there’s of course a whole lot of VFX studios who have successfully implemented remote working – many of which have been operating like this for a number of weeks already – that might not appear here. This listing below is only where I found pics of the crew (or, in some cases, pics of the crew’s cats).
