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

There's a sculptor called Ken Price, and he once said, "A craftsman knows what he's going to make and an artist doesn't know what he’s going to make, or what the finished product is going to look like."

Feeling nostalgic when thinking about the first Disney cartoons ever made? Alice in Wonderland, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Bambi, Cinderella, Mary Poppins? Anyone? Even the latest cartoons produced by Disney embody a certain kind of magic and longing, and I believe this is what make them so freakin’ special.

By Randi Altman I admit it, I am one of those people who takes the meaning of Thanksgiving for granted. At quick glance, I think Thanksgiving is about turkey, over-eating, family gatherings and a parade featuring ginormous flying cartoon characters, but the real meaning sometimes gets lost in all of that. This year I made […]The post Pros share what they are thankful for this season appeared first on postPerspective - Randi Altman's postPerspective.
