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

Roughly a decade ago, the world of animation was nearly dealt a serious blow in the form of a fire destroying over three decades of archival work from Aardman Animations. This stop-motion studio is best known for creating the unflappable duo of Wallace and Gromit, but films like Chicken Run and TV specials-turned-series like Creature Comforts, despite being fairly slight affairs, have established them as being among the premier animation creators in the international market. To lose their work w...

We can often tell when a render is CG, rather than a photo, but most of the time we can't always appreciate why we come to that conclusion. In reality it could be a number of reasons, from dodgy lighting, to stretched textures, but there are also tell tale signs that are missing from the scene and softness is an important one.
