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

We've been fans of stop-motion guru PES for a while now—giddily typing in a flurry every time he announces a new project, such as his recent Kickstarter campaign to fund an upcoming feature about making sandwiches (out of vintage sports gear, naturally). Yesterday, the animator stepped out from behind his props to talk with fans in a Reddit AMA about avocado grenades and other claymation creativity.

The competition is open to anyone, whether you’re a student or working in the industry. What we’ll be looking for is great Action, Thinking Character and strong Body Mechanics. The public will vote for the best shot (right after entry deadline for 1 week) and the winner will be critiqued by one of the best instructor over at iAnimate.net!

Previsualization (or Previz or Previs) is the art of visualizing how a scene, shot or sequence will play out using tangible media (not just in your head). This could take many forms, and this article will go over a few ideas and methods to generate previz content.

At the top of the episode we chat about two new changes to our site - the addition of a dedicated Book Club page to help readers more easily identify which book we're reading and the addition of a new Fan Art / Gallery page which should make our images much more viewer friendly.
