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 week before last I was at the Southeast Creative Summit. The enthusiasm of the attendees, who came from all over North America, reminded me of the importance of taking the time to invest in yourself and your professional development. Even if you are extremely busy, selecting the right conference or training session can help you sharpen your skills, move your business forward, and forge new contacts that can pay off in a multitude of ways. Here are some of major things that I think are ...

Last week the Academy announced its list of 19 films submitted for consideration in this year's Best Animated Feature Film Oscar race. Not all 19 are immediately eligible as there are other criteria they have to pass first, but even if two or three are knocked from the list (and only one really looks to be nixed), there will be at least 16 contenders, meaning the Academy's animation branch has the option of nominating up to five films.

I’ve been reading with interest about the current debate on film subsidies in New Zealand: NZ VFX house DigiPost sits empty as it is faced with either liquidation or moving operations to the UK if subsidies are not increased. There are encouraging discussions about trying to localize the subsidies to avoid a race to the bottom. However the article I found most profound was this...

State of the Union is a short teaser by Bruce Branit who's claims to fame are the shorts, 405 and World Builder. State of the Union is a sizzle reel for an intended feature currently in early stages of funding and pre-production.

Kristin here: In my previous entry, I described Gravity as an experimental film. I had thought of it that way ever since seeing trailers for it online back in mid-September. I described it as reminding me “of Michael Snow’s brilliant Central Region, but with narrative.” Last time I developed that notion in more detail and [...]

If you’re near Vancouver, BC, then stop by the Alibi Room (157 Alexander Street) this Thursday evening (14Nov2013) to visit with several members of the After Effects team. We’ll be at the Alibi Room from 5PM to 6:30PM or so. Feel free to stop by to ask questions, complain, tell us how you use After Effects, or just chat. Of course, the best place to submit feature requests and bug reports is here; it’s less likely that we’ll lose a submission through that form than one made on a bee...
