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

While at Siggraph we sat down with Kevin Baillie from Atomic Fiction. We speak about his interesting career starting on the Skywalker ranch, which, after a few extra stops along the way, led him to start Atomic Fiction with his childhood friend Ryan Tudhope. Kevin and his company are not shy of trying new things. While most people think that eventually people will possibly be rendering on the cloud, they have already been doing it for 5 years. He talks about how the company led over 600 shots on...

The OptiTrack equipment used in the company's Siggraph demo included 32 Prime 41 cameras mounted on a truss 25 feet high and running Motive:Body software in a capture volume of 32 feet by 30 feet. The players, basketball, backboard and basket were tracked using passive markers.

To create the post-apocalyptic Earth in CW’s “The 100,” Zoic VFX Supervisor Michael Cliett led a team to craft a wide range of menacing creatures including a two-headed deer, a mutant panther and radioactive butterflies. The team also created numerous epic shots of the “Ark” space station floating around Earth. The series was nominated for a 2014 Emmy Award for “Outstanding Special and Visual Effects.”

This project was created for a pitch, Miran K did a while back. What was unique with this Jogurt is that it had twice as much proteins and had almost no fat.

Cinesite delivered a major visual effects sequence for the Warner Bros. production San Andreas. As the first earthquake of the film strikes, a young woman driving alone in the Los Angeles mountains veers off the road, through a barrier and over a cliff. Hanging precariously in her car above the canyon, she phones for help. Cinesite’s visual effects cover this entire exciting sequence, as the team attempt to rescue her from their helicopter.
