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 Power Mac G5 is one of Apple's best designs

If we’re honest, the thing that makes many of us become Mac users in the first place is how the hardware looks. But for many, the thing that keeps us Mac users is that over the months and years of owning them we discover again and again that Apple has taken the time to think through and implement details that most wouldn’t even have thought to identify as problems that need to be solved.

Here are the VFX breakdowns of the majority of shots from my submission for the Cinespace 2015 NASA Imagery Competition. EXPLORATION is an inspirational piece reconnecting history with the present, mainly focussing around the Apollo 11 mission of the late 1960’s. Showcasing the passion and drive man has always had to touch the stars. JFK’s famous Houston College speech serves as a motivational narration accompanied by my own footage as well as NASA’s incredible archive imagery.

It's hard to imagine a technology that has had as big an impact on the Hollywood movies of today as Chroma Key Compositing. The technology that allows actors to almost magically be placed onto any set the director can imagine, or even transform the actor into a digital character on screen has become a staple of today's blockbuster movies.
