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

Cinesite delivered a major visual effects sequence for the Marvel Studios production Ant-Man. Ant-Man and his evil nemesis Yellow Jacket, who have been fighting in a suitcase inside a helicopter, continue their battle after the case falls to the ground. Landing in a swimming pool at a family barbecue, the characters grow to normal size, then shrink back down again as they brawl in front of shocked bystanders.

Contrary to how the award-buzzy The Martian looks, it wasn’t actually shot on Mars, but mostly in Budapest. Though in addition to sound stages there, Earth-bound exteriors were scouted, including the Jordanian desert which offered, according to visual effects supervisor Richard Stammers, “far superior, far more interesting landscapes” than other deserts they’d looked at.

The list includes films that were mostly expected to be there, including Ant-Man, Ex Machina, Jurassic World, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Martian and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, while such films as Bridge of Spies, Chappie, Everest, Furious Seven and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 all failed to make the cut.
