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

Directed by John Pettingill from Texas A&M University, Sleddin' combines the magical intensity of childhood with an adult sense of humour. "I have always been fascinated with memories from my childhood - and just how big they seem in retrospect. Growing up in the mountains of Utah, I would often go sledding. And many of these small hills that I would sled down, I remember feeling like they were massive mountains," says John Pettingill.

The Render Blog’s João spots some of the tools that he uses in his day to day workflows for lighting and rendering in Maya using the Arnold Renderer. If you have been watching some of the tutorials from the Render Blog, you may have noticed some “special” or custom tools that he has used over the last little while.

If you feel that Quixel has been missing in action lately, it is because they have been. Quixel started with NDO and made a big splash in the texturing world with the release of DDO, and after a flurry of press releases and tutorials with those two products, all went quite.

Last week, DreamWorks Animation's dog-and-boy film Mr. Peabody and Sherman was labeled a flop after it took in just $32.5 million domestically during its opening weekend. However, Peabody isn't rolling over just yet. It made $21.5 million domestically this past weekend, enough to take the top spot during a slow patch. And the second-week drop was smaller than some analysts expected...
