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

The Cloud: What's It All About?

August 20, 2012, 07:17 PM

http://www.tvtechnology.com/article/the-cloud-what...

When I query a technical audience for what percentage utilize the cloud daily, maybe half the hands go up. In reality, all the hands should be way up. Maybe some are forgetting how universal the cloud is today with Web services of email, search, social, video, messaging, docs, personal storage and so much more. Who can go through a day without touching any of these?

Since graduating in 2011 from the VS animation and effects program, he has landed gigs on such big name movies as the action adventure hits "Captain America" and "Marvel's: The Avengers." He also worked on the re-release of James Cameron's "Titanic," the fantasy horror film "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" and the comedy horror "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters." Still, the career path of the native Angeleno hasn't always been straight and smooth.

Art of the Title - Domino

A wonderful blend of fragmented sights and sounds from the film. Each selected clip seems to highlight the character, or perhaps more importantly the actor, perfectly. Walken's smile is unmistakable.
