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

DreamWorks Animation posted an adjusted net loss of $21.5M in Q1, excluding a $31.9M charge it took for restructuring, and missed on earnings for Q1 despite a revenue beat off a strong 13% gain there. CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg pointed to the success of Home, the studio's only planned release for 2015, as signs that its turnaround plan is taking effect. Home has drawn $154M domestically and is just short of $300M worldwide.

DreamWorks Animation, reeling from a restructuring and a string of underperforming films, reported earnings that were slightly better than projected, after taking out one-time restructuring costs. The company announced a net loss of 64 cents per-share on Thursday, but after taking out January restructuring costs, that improved to a minus 37 cents a share. Analysts had projected a 45 cents per share negative mark going into the announcement.

At NAB in Las Vegas, AJA announced that it will lend its controversial 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD CION camera to qualifying applicants, initially in the US and Canada. At the AJA press conference where I was invited, AJA quoted many of the same tech journalists that Art Adams mentioned in his recent article in ProVideo Coalition magazine, and naturally neglected to quote Art’s statements. Ahead is more info on CION, and how to apply for AJA to loan it to you for a particular project.
