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 VFX of Pixels

The temptation is easy. Take lo-res characters built on iconic video game characters like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong, make 'em big, put 'em in the movie, and leave it at that.

Looking like a cross between a zoetrope and a nightclub, the stroboscope combines 3D modelling and mathematical precision to produce a unique animation effect.

Check out this insightful making of "Seed" by the talented team at Aixsponza! To document our process (but mainly to give everyone good laughs) we had a few guys running around with cameras during the production. And this sneaky MakingOf video is what came out of it. Guerilla style (except the staged scenes) and full of insights.

Is It Finally, Really, Virtual Reality’s Time?

Yeah, OK, it’s not the greatest cover photo Time magazine has ever done (cover subject, Virtual Reality (VR) visionary and Oculus founder Palmer Luckey may have hoped for a different response), and good for Time for taking it all in stride. But that’s quite beside the point. Smartphones, not VR goggles, may be VR’s first big win. Or not. Again.
