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

Performance capture is one of the fastest growing areas of film production, and is increasingly blurring the boundaries between what has traditionally been called CGI or SFX and real world, nuanced acting. We interviewed actor, director and producer Andy Serkis at IBC to gain his insights into this most fascinating area of film production and to find out where it's all heading.

One of the coolest effects in the Award-winning MOONBASE [INVASION ReMix] is a 3D Holographic Avatar of Rock’n Roll Hall of Famer Mix Master Mike, mixing in real time. In this tutorial, Jonathan Winbush (winbush.tv) takes us behind the scenes and shows how he created the audioreactive Hologram.

A couple of weeks ago I interviewed visual effects artist Monika Batchelor about her experience as someone who is just starting out in the industry. The interview got a lot of attention, partly, I think, because we don’t always get to hear from new entrants in VFX. Monika has worked at Hulu, Lola VFX, Luma Pictures, MPC and is now at Pixomondo.
