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

Han and Chewie are both great, but they share the screen with another serious Star Wars icon. Solo: A Star Wars Story rolled back the clocked to reveal some iconic moments from the franchise’s legacy. Chief among them was the unveiling of a retro Millennium Falcon. Industrial Light and Magic were charged with creating the new design and have now released a behind the scenes glimpse at how and why the changes were made.

This Episode with Noëlle is really inspiring. Noëlle’s background is in concept art and visual development, for so many productions! I think it’s really interesting to dive into both her artistic career and her business background.

The animated web-slinger is currently in theaters and watching the film is like strolling through a comic book. Halftone, text bubbles and split screen techniques are utilized throughout, along with an explosion of blue and red hues.

The initial inspiration for “Nectar,” Zwartouw’s first personal foray into filmmaking, was an imagined visualization of a lone man walking through a jungle while being surveilled by bot creatures. As abstract concepts morphed into concrete storyboards, the bots would develop into hybrid crab-camera creatures, and themes of social isolation and inner turmoil would evolve into a metaphor for dealing with addiction – an issue prevalent in the Vancouver neighborhood where Zwartouw worked and...
