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

When you’re working on a scene, it’s normal to get frustrated at how it looks. This is to be expected in pretty much every scene you make. Some more than others, but it’s pretty consistent.

Welcome to sixty seconds of pure bone crunching movie madness, many things can make a film scene cringe worthy, a ridiculous fight scene (Daredevil we're looking at you), corny one-liners or just any of Nic Cage's accents. But bone breaking has the power to make everyone wince once in a while.

The Dam Keeper, currently shortlisted for an animated short Oscar and nominated yesterday for an Annie Award, is the first independent film directed by feature film art directors Robert Kondo and Dice Tsutsumi. Already the recipient of dozens of awards on the festival circuit, the film achieved a unique look by combining drawn animation with the impressionist painting styles of its directors.

Speakers (also called loudspeakers) push and pull surrounding air molecules in waves that the human ear interprets as sound. You could even say that hearing is movement detection. So what makes a speaker travel back and forth at just the right rate and distance, and how does that make sound?

Rođen sam u Brčkom 1981. godine, živim i radim u Beogradu. Od malena sam pokazivao interesovanje za crtanje, a posebno za sferu stripa. Sa 3D-om sam se susreo prvi put na jednom forumu, kada sam video neverovatne kreacije umetnika Rafaela Grasetija, Marca di Luce i Mihai Darange; istraživao sam i saznao za program ZBrush koji je u to doba bio tek u povoju. Program koji radi na principu digitalnog vajanja, koji ne sputava kreativnost komplikovanim opcijama, dugmićima i ostalim me je oduševi...

Pixar's latest 30-minute television special, Toy Story That Time Forgot just received seven well deserved nominations across multiple categories for the 42nd Annual Annie Awards taking place on January 31, 2015. We cannot praise the cast and crew members on each team enough for such a great addition to the Pixar library of films.
