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

The mention of Vikings usually conjures images of horned helmets, battle axes and burly Scandinavians pillaging their way across Europe. The truth is far different, and HISTORY's Vikings, which recently completed its third season, has strived to come much closer to chronicling the reality of the Dark Age Norsemen. The burly men – and women – might be present, along with the longships, the round shields and even the battle axes—but instead Vikings focuses on the real history of the Nordic w...

DreamWorks has struggled to turn an operating profit in recent quarters, let alone positive net income. Is this a reflection of poor execution or a poor business model?

The folks over at ExtremeTech have published an interesting article that goes into some of the issues facing Avid & Adobe (as well as Cakewalk) users.

This is an interesting moment to be a Disney observer. Remember that Walt once mined the most peculiar material, resulting in abstract weirdness in his collaborations with Ub Iwerks. The reason it’s a joy to watch Silly Symphonies is they are gloriously bizarre. A spine being played like a xylophone? Sure, and the boneyard of Skeleton Dance isn’t the half of it.

This morning at WWDC 2015 it's been tipped that Apple will not give their desktop operating system a full upgrade to a new version. Instead, they'll move forward with a sort of iPhone "S" upgrade schedule, bringing on a boost to the version they've released the year before. As such - and as you see on the displays on the iMacs you see here - Yosemite will continue. Feature updates will mostly focus on stability, and the operating system will become more reliable than ever before.

Despite optimistic technologists throughout the 20th century predicting ‘one day all films will be in three dimensions’, 3D is usually a response to periods of crisis in the movie industry. The first spate of 3D was in the 50s when TV was seen (rightly) as the huge threat. We still get revivals of classics form this era, made using the anaglyph system of glasses with one red and one green (or cyan) filter, like Hitchcock’s Dial M For Murder and Jack Arnold’s Creature From The Black Lagoo...
