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 Joys Of Meta Cinema

March 16, 2016, 05:34 AM

I love going to the movies. There's this ritual of buying the ticket, get some popcorn, maybe, and then walk into a somewhat dimly lit room, with red seats facing the silver screen. There's a ceremonial that ritualises the act of watching a film. So more often than not, when I'm watching a movie, I'm aware that I am watching a movie; everything happens in an out-of-real-life compartment of my brain which lets me know, deep down, that I'm safe whatever happens up there.

Deadpool VFX Featurette Reveals Computerized Movie

http://collider.com/deadpool-vfx-featurette/

Believe it or not, Ryan Reynolds does not possess a superhuman healing factor in real life, as far as we know. So it follows that his incredible action sequences in Deadpool had to be done via a combination of practical effects and computer-generated wizardry. Filling in one portion of the amazing VFX work on this film was the special effects company Atomic Fiction, whose latest work is now on display both in the theatrical release of Deadpool and in a newly released behind-the-scenes featurette...
