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

With the snow and ice finally melting – or, in some places, hopefully soon to the on the brink of melting – marketing campaigns are heating up for some of the biggest films of the year. This spring offers sequels of both the highly anticipated and highly questionable varieties, as well as some promising re-imaginings of beloved characters. Which will measure up? Which will get us to plunk down our hard-earned cash for a ten dollar ticket and a six dollar bucket of popcorn? And which companie...

Founded in 1994, Canadian software company Toon Boom Animation specializes in animation and storyboarding software. Its client base consists of names like Disney, Warner Bros and Pixar. But that doesn't mean its software off limits to the rest of us. In fact, it offers such a wide variety of applications, you'll have no problem finding something to meet your needs (and your budget).

The Disney deal with Maker Studios suggests AwesomenessTV could be worth quite a bit more, based on back-of-the envelope math.

This book has now been released, and it's fantastic. I h...

I'm currently reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon on my Kindle for the half hour or so I spend each way on the underground to and from work. I'd put it off for quite a while (in fact, I think I have the paperback somewhere), but I'm glad I've finally gotten around to it.I just had to share this excerpt*, which shows a wonderful set of ideas in the creation of a comic book super hero and the setting up of backstory and motivation to make the character fee...
