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

Many of you will have heard in the last week about working conditions on the recently-released “Sausage Party”. What started in the comments section on Cartoon Brew has now been reported by The Washington Post, The LA Times, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and many more besides. It’s sad to say, but stories of poor working conditions are becoming an embarrassingly regular occurrence in our industry.

Well, it’s already a possibility thanks to StyLit, a new development in non-photorealistic rendering by Czech Technical University, in partnership with Adobe. Cartoon Brew saw the tech at SIGGRAPH this year and immediately wondered whether it could also be translated to animation. So we talked to one of the lead researchers.

Sausage Party Animators Feud With Nitrogen

The new adult animated film “Sausage Party,” starring Seth Rogen and Kristen Wiig, opened in theaters last Friday to positive reviews and a great box office performance, grossing over $36 million against a $19 million budget. Much has been made about how directors Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon made an CG animated film on such a low budget, but animators are alleging that an oppressive production schedule and intimidation tactics played a part in the film’s success.
