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

Amongst an impressive array of stunts and practical effects filmmaking, the Fast & Furious movies have always made use of visual effects to help tell their stories. This might be to make vehicles—and characters—carry out extraordinary jumps, leaps and crashes that cannot be staged physically, to place actors inside cars during daring stunts, or to extend locations where action perhaps could not be filmed. A common practice in the movies also, for example, has been to piece together multiple ...

The bullet time effect from The Matrix still captivates audiences, partly for the on-screen effect itself, and partly for how it was achieved with an array of still cameras and virtual backgrounds.

As much as Emma Stone’s fantastic performance has claimed the spotlight on Disney’s Cruella, the studio’s hit film that explores the iconic villainess’ origins, the numerous canine cast members are as equally compelling. VFX supervisor Max Wood, along with MPC Film, created CG versions of the Baroness’ (Emma Thompson) three Dalmatians, Buddy the Terrier as a puppy and adult, and the eye-patched Chihuahua known as Wink.
