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

For scenes of Spider-Man facing off against Doc Ock on a freeway overpass early on in Spider-Man: No Way Home, production shot plates on an Atlanta backlot. Digital Domain then took those as a starting point, building out a huge environment, added CG vehicles and sometimes CG characters, and generally crafting an additional sense of destruction and mayhem.

Sand. Lots and lots of sand. If there’s one thing that people immediately envision when they hear the title Dune, it is the infinite landscape of brown/orange sand. Also, the giant sandworms. And, of course, the futuristic vehicles and other worldly environments and objects.

When Marvel Studios and Sony released the first full trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home, fans immediately picked apart every frame of footage to find where the trailer had been manipulated in order to fool them into thinking that Tom Holland was the only Spider-Man in the movie. This led to several moments being called out as being doctored, including a blink and you miss it clip that appeared in the international trailer, showing Rhys Ifans’ Lizard being punched by an invisible assailant dur...
