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

“The thing is,” The Willoughbys head of effects H​elén Ahlberg detailed to me during our discussion about Bron Animation’s new animated feature, “we were trying to avoid simulations for this project. Which is interesting, because that’s mainly what you do with effects! What we were trying to do was get it to look hand-made and not CG.”

Out of Time: Lessons in Editing From Cliff Booth's

April 17, 2020, 01:44 PM

https://filmschoolrejects.com/once-upon-a-time-in-...

Early into Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, stuntman turned right man in the wrong place Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) drops his movie star boss Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) off at his Beverley Hills home. Then, after switching over to his comparatively dinky Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, Cliff drives off to his trailer park. The montage that follows is laidback and rich with detail; a feast of lights, sounds, and a veritable “hell yeah” for anyone partial to lazy late-night drives with the radio up a...
